Come home to a healthy home!

Every year, more and more children and adults develop allergies and asthma. Studies show that people are also developing cancer more now than in the last 20 years. Even our pets are victims to cancer and other health problems. A lot of these problems come from the type of cleaning products that we use. They contain chemicals and toxins that make us sick. At Aroma Care Cleaning, not only do we eliminate those allergens but use all natural cleaning products infused with essential oils that leave the home with a wonderful smell. We use 100% plant based products that are not only healthy for us but also safe for kids, pets and the enviroment!

Take comfort in knowing that your home is a healthy home. We use HEPA filtered vacuums which pick up 99.9% of pollen, dust mites, mold spores, pet dander and purify the air while vacuuming.

Traditional household cleaners can have the following toxic effects on children:

Cancer
The rates of childhood cancer have been steadily increasing for over 20 years. This terrible trend has been strongest for certain forms of leukemia and brain cancer. Some 8,000 children per year are diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. One in every 400 Americans can expect to get cancer before the age of 15.

Toxins
Children are more susceptible to toxins than adults are. They receive proportionately larger doses of environmental toxins than adults as well. Children play on the floor where allergens such as dust, and heavier-than-air chemicals settle and collect. And unfortunately, most young children naturally tend to put these things into their mouths.

Learning and Behavioral Problems

Birth Defects

Reproductive Problems

Asthma and other Respiratory Problems

Effects on Pets:

Veterinarians are treating more and more cases of cancer in animals as well as increased numbers of behavioral problems and poisonings. Household cleaners can be extremely toxic to pets, as can common bug sprays and garden pesticides.

Symptoms of Cleaning Product Poisoning:
While the actual symptom of cleaning product poisoning that the animal exhibits depends on the type of substance to which he or she was exposed, there are some general symptoms of which you should be aware. For dogs and cats, these include:

• Anxiety
• Burns on the mouth and esophagus
• Central nervous system depressant
• Colic
• Coma
• Corneal damage
• Cough
• Excessive salivation
• Foaming at the mouth
• Hormonal changes
• Hyperthermia
• Muscle weakness
• Restlessness
• Seizures
• Shallow breathing
• Skin ulcers
• Slow respiration
• Vomiting

In addition to the above-listed symptoms, cats, who can have fatal reactions to cleaning products, also experience the following:

• Cardiac arrhythmia
• Hair loss
• Hyperactivity
• Panting
• Shock

Birds who have been poisoned by cleaning products suffer from:

• Anxiety
• Breathing problems
• Corneal damage
• Cough
• Hormonal changes
• Seizures

Candle Poisoning:

If you're like me, you love burning candles and making your home smell good! But beware of metal wick candles. Lead emitted by this type of candle is a serious health hazard. "Candles are fast becoming one of the most common unrecognized causes of poor indoor air quality," says Diane Walsh Astry of the Health House, a national education project created by the American Lung Association of Minnesota. Lead poisoning can lead to behavior changes and damage internal organs, especially the kidneys. Besides breathing lead fumes, children can be exposed to even more lead that is deposited on the floor, furniture, and walls because they often put their hands in their mouths. Not all candles -- or even all scented candles -- cause hazardous pollution. But since labels won't tell which ones are safe, Astry and other candle experts offer this advice:

"Watch out for shiny metal wire inside the wicks of candles. Opt for pure paper or cotton instead. Keep wicks trimmed to one-quarter inch for more complete combustion, and keep candles out of drafts. Windiness blows more toxins into the air and causes inefficient burning. Watch out for slow-burning candles with additives. (These candles often feel greasy to the touch.) Instead, look for pure beeswax candles, which emit less pollution."

For aromatherapy, put a few drops of scented oil in a defuser -- a tray made to fit on a light bulb. Or you can put the drops into some boiling water. Don't use candles in jars when the candle leaves a soot ring on the jar's lip. The soot may be an indication of lead dust.
