Green washing

You think you are cleaning look at this I use thieves kills everything Clorox what I used to use so this bacteria still grows

2025/9/7 Edited to

... Read moreMany people assume that using strong chemical cleaners like Clorox guarantees a bacteria-free home, but research and personal experiences suggest otherwise. Despite regular use, some bacteria can persist or quickly return after cleaning, raising concerns about the true effectiveness of such products. Thieves Household Cleaner, infused with essential oils, has gained popularity as a natural alternative. Essential oils such as those found in Thieves—like clove, lemon, cinnamon bark, eucalyptus, and rosemary—possess natural antimicrobial properties that may help reduce bacteria more sustainably. Using Thieves clean-up wipes or essential oils could offer a less harsh and eco-friendlier cleaning experience while targeting microbes. However, it’s important to remember that no single product can guarantee a completely germ-free environment. Regular cleaning combined with good hygiene practices is key. Also, "green washing" is a term used when products are marketed as eco-friendly but do not always meet rigorous environmental or health standards. Consumers should carefully evaluate product ingredients and rely on credible sources to ensure their cleaning choices align with both safety and sustainability goals. Ultimately, understanding your cleaning products—including ingredients like those in Clorox and Thieves—and how they interact with microbes can empower you to maintain a healthier home. Looking beyond surface cleanliness to consider long-term effects on bacteria growth and environmental impact is essential in selecting the right cleaning approach.

How long do you go without washing your hair
I know this can be controversial but I find that washing my hair more than 2times a week totally dries it out. I also find this putting heat and styling my hair after the shower allows me to go longer between washes. When I wear my natural hair (the second slide) I usually have to wash it on day
