Because most people in the United States spend over half of each day inside their homes and children normally spend up to 90% of their time indoors, the home plays a very essential role in health. Everyone deserves to be safe and healthy but some of the most serious health problems for families can start in the home.  Healthy home affects everyone, especially:

• Children are more likely to be affected by hazards in the home because their bodies are still growing. Children crawl and play on the floor and habitually put things in their mouths.  When compared to adults, relative to their body weight, children eat more food, drink more water, and breathe more air. For this reason, children often have more contact with sources that may be unsafe to their health. Children are also dependent on adults to make their homes safe.
• Pregnant mothers should live in a healthy home. Pollutants such as lead, pesticides, and tobacco smoke can be hazardous to the health of the developing baby.

Several Ways to Deep Cleaning Your Home



Home isn’t actually clean until all the unexpected places are disinfected and spotless. Read informative post below on ways to deep clean your house:

Remove stains out of your microfiber couch with rubbing alcohol
Using isopropyl alcohol, a white sponge, some elbow grease and a white bristle brush to make couch look just like new. Make sure to get white tools/items so that the color dyes will not transfer to your fabric.

Steam clean mystery stains out of your carpets using an iron
There’s no need to rent a giant hulking carpet cleaner, except if you are planning on doing the entire house work. All you need is iron.
Here’s the item that you will need: White Vinegar, Water, a Spray Bottle, A Rag, and an Iron. Spray the spot with a solution of 1 part vinegar with 2 parts water. Place a moist rag over the spot. Iron on the steam setting for about 30 seconds. If the stain is really stubborn, repeat the steps and it work!

Dusting off fan blades with a pillowcase
Use Pillowcase as Ceiling Fan Duster. Slide an old case over a fan's blade then pull the fabric back, keeping all the dust and dirt enclosed.

When a duster won’t get all the dirt off the blinds, use some vinegar
Mix equal parts vinegar + water in a bowl. Then slide an old sock on your hand, dip your hand (with the sock on it) into the vinegar and water mixture and wipe down each individual slat on the blinds. After every couple of slats, dip the sock on your hand into the cleaner and squeeze it a bit to rinse off the dirt. It's also useful to have a second old sock. Once all the slats have been cleaned, slip the second old sock onto your hand and dry off each slat.

Use ammonia on your stove grates
Hate scrubbing? Remember ammonia? Basic ammonia? Take about 1/4 cup of ammonia and seal it up with one of the burners in a large ziploc bag. You only need an small amount of ammonia in the bag. You are not trying to bathe the burner. You just want to cover it up with the ammonia fumes.
