THINGS I MENTIONED:
▸ Air Purifier (recommended by my vet) - amzn.to/3wRnfpt
- Okay I just want to say about this that I did a lot of research before I bought this. I considered the warranty AND they have an option to buy open box so I got it second hand but it was essentially new! It monitors PM 1, 2.5, and 10! It covers more sqft than we technically have but the scheudles you can set are SO helpful. You know I'm not one to push you into buying something but I do love this and I do think it has helped us A LOT!

As an Air Quality Scientist who has learned a lot about indoor air quality, I'm glad you got an air cleaner! I also have an air cleaner and air sensor to monitor my indoors. Note that they work best for CO2 and PM2.5. They are okay for giving you relative VOCs (like increasing or decreasing), but I wouldn't trust the number. They are not good with PM1 or PM10 (this is just a limit of the physics the technology uses that is available to consumers). Cooking is one of the biggest contributors to indoor air pollution due to a whole bunch of incomplete combustion. Running the fan above the stove and an air cleaner while cooking really helps more than most people think!

What is your thoughts on essential oils

@tehyas4622 4 месяца назад

I personally have strong reactions to fragrances and can’t do anything with scents (phthalates are a big concern fora lot of people and they don’t realize). I avoid anything that says it contains phthalates or “fragrances.” I don’t think essential oils are bad, but I don’t think I would want to breathe them very often. Just make sure they don’t contain phthalates, which can enhance smells for oils that aren’t purely what it says on the packaging.

@abigailroseflynn 4 месяца назад

if anyone else is struggling with routine (particularly my fellow neurospicy folks!) i’ve heard that having a mini-basket in each room of your cleaning products and tools will help because it removes that initial step of “i have to grab my stuff to clean before i clean”. would definitely say don’t buy too much but it’s apparently a game changer!

@CarlyAnn16 4 месяца назад

I agree with this. It works well on a small scale This is why i disagree with the thought of keeping ALL of your cleaning products together. Keeping an all purpose cleaner and cleaning cloth in each bathroom as well as the kitchen i am way more likely to wipe things down more often. But good to be careful not to gather too many duplicates at the same time

One of the most eco friendly things I use is steam. Having pets means cleaning the floors more regularly and I notice a huge odor difference after we steam clean our home. Steaming is also good for parts of clothes that need freshening up but not to be put through the laundry. And of course steaming is bathroom and kitchen friendly too with the right adapters. It's great because my home just smells normal or will at least uncover smells that I need to smell rather than masking up the funk.

@crystalfaunt8991 4 месяца назад

Steaming will also kill dust mites that cause allergies! I own a commercial grade steamer (it's for work but you know), I use it to steam my mattress, carpets, pillows, computer chair, etc every week or two weeks. It really does help.

I had a fitted sheet that got a huge hole in the middle of it (we had a snacky puppy), so I turned it into 'paper towels' by sewing 2 paper towel sized pieces together, turning the inside out, and then sewing around the edges and an x down the middle to keep its shape. Theyre so good!

@princesschelsea1558 4 месяца назад

Love the kitty tips! When we moved in our current house, my cat, Athena, started coughing randomly. I freaked out and thought it was asthma, but thankfully the vet was able to confirm it was just allergies. This house is our first house with baseboard heat instead of vents and it turns out burning the dust off the baseboards when we turned the heat on for the winter is what triggered her allergies. We use an air purifier year round and I try to only use items with no fragrance added. I also thoroughly vacuum our baseboards before turning the heat on for the winter. Honestly, these tips helped my allergies, too! 🩷

@@kalpic11 yes! It sounds like a wheeze, but according to my vet that is how cats cough. It reminds me of coughing with a super dry throat for a person.

Living in an apartment building with 24 units (and over 40 buildings in the complex) means that I have to deal with the fumes from other residents' cleaning & air freshener products, as well as the products used by the complex in communal areas. In addition, the communal laundry room sometimes stinks from scented detergent, dryer sheets, and the evil scent beads. Working on educating the leasing office, but the complex is owned by an out of state company. Due to my asthma, my daughter's asthma and migraines, and our dog's allergies, other people's choices impact us every day. Honestly I wish we could ban many of the scented products and toxic chemicals. One of the reasons I chose this apartment is it is in a non-smoking building, but breathing is still a challenge.

@geenskeen 2 месяца назад

just a couple PSAs: 1) vacuuming up baking soda breaks / ruins vacuums. 2) dishwashers are almost always more water efficient than hand washing even if you only put a couple things in them. DETAILS BELOW *more on 2) a fuller load of dishes in a dishwasher is better than a small one, but unless you are being way more careful than anyone i have ever met, handwashing even a couple things is using more water than most dishwashers use. my dishwasher uses like 2-3 gallons of water for a whole load. if you rinse dishes under running water, you are almost definitely using more than that. *more on 1) any vacuum service professional will tell you this. most regular people tell you to do it, and it's not good for your vacuum. Any fine powder really messes it up. You should not throw it all over your carpet or whatever and vacuum large amounts. Small amounts are ok. Official carpet powders are either (a) a scam or (b) large enough granules that vacuums can handle them without issues. Look into it if you want more info. One idea is to use a small grain size of activated charcoal for deodorizing carpets or mattresses etc, but NOT powdered charcoal. It needs to be large enough grains that it can't get through and funk up the filters and components and stuff in the vacuum.

Apparently if an attack happens you need to get it treated ASAP or permanent damage can be put on their lungs so they have less good lung tissue for the rest of their lives.

Man, absolutely. I worked at a small fabric store for a while and the dust was everywhere. I sneezed at least 4-6 times every shift because of the countless bolts of raw edge fabric, precut fabric, and dust from whatever we're cutting or sewing for people. We would vaccuum 1-2 times a day because otherwise, you could TASTE the dust when you talked. Absolutely crazy. Oh, and all of it was cotton 😂

I work at a thrift store and have for 14 years. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the ratio is even lower than that. Generally we sell 50% of the items that GO TO THE FLOOR. So that has nothing to do with things that don't even manage to reach the floor. Thrift stores are notoriously bad for not paying well and not treating their employees well (ngl the location I work at is a nightmare and I work for a major chain that is very successful -- yes it's Savers), the pace they force their team to work at is insane so there are many, many things that get tossed out. Thrift stores could be doing so much better. Especially since second hand is getting so popular. Unfortunately, I think they have realized it and are trying to capitalize on it but not meeting that rising demand with proper incentives for their workers. Typically story of capitalism...

I’ve used the same vacuum for 7 years now and have reusable cloth sponges that can be washed in the washer it honestly saves so much money rather than having to buy a new sponge

What kind of reusable cloth sponges are you using? I really want to like the bamboo brushes and have tried them out but I just cannot use them and hold them so I’m still using through a pack of sponges I’ve had for forever but want to try something new and more sustainable.

In sweden we have a brand who boils and makes a special type of soap from perused oil from restaurants. Fat dissolves fats and its makes wooden furniture and floors amaaazing. I use it all over the house and its scent free. They sell small concentrated bottles that you put in a bigger bottle and add water. The tiny bottles are made from POP-prevented ocean plastic and can be recycled. I think its one of the best options. No chemicals, all natural, no scents and made from already used stuff. I just wanted to put it out there for any swedes who want to check it out!

Hey I just wanted to let you know that you can ask your vet to call in your cats inhaler to a pharmacy in Canada and it’s a fraction of the price.. I’m a vet tech and that is what we do at my clinic to make it more cost effective for our clients.😊 I do understand that it requires shipping from Canada and is not super sustainable but I thought it might be helpful.

@Shelbizleee 4 месяца назад

@@Shelbizleee yes, your vet would call it in to the Canadian pharmacy (probably with refills) and then they get your information and ship it straight to you. I live in Oklahoma and it usually comes out to about $50 for our clients.

@@TurtleStormer I do wash all my clothes on cold and dry the vast majority of them on a drying rack. Thanks to allergy shots, my allergies are pretty minor these days, so if the hot water makes only a marginal difference, I may not need it.

Just a tidbit of trivia - a lemon is an origin of citric acid; it's the reason the lemon juice's pH is low enough to be used as a mild disinfectant 🍋 Any acidic kitchen substances can technically be used as a cleaner to an extent, for example we can also use acetic acid (vinegar) and lactic acids (found in fermented dairy products) to clean.

I tried a few times the dish brush, same brand you showed, and others. I haaaaaate it. It does not dry completely between washes even when stored properly.

It is very ironic to get a plant to help your cat breathe that is toxic for cats😂 As long as he’s not a nibbler, it’s safe, but all Epipremnums are toxic to cats if consumed. It is an interesting marketing ploy for that company to mark up one of the cheapest house plants on the market and provide vague claims with little data to support how their product(s) actually works.
