Detox your Home… Naturally 

11 am-1 pm on Pigeon Lake, AB

Did you know that most common household cleaners that we use every day may create serious health hazards in our homes and are harmful to our health? Mild exposure to many of these chemicals may cause headaches, dizziness, skin reactions, as well as eye, nose and throat irritation. Chemical exposure can also trigger a serious asthma attack. Full-on exposure may cause skin burns, while prolonged exposure over time may cause gastrointestinal irritation, pulmonary edema, neurological dysfunction, kidney dysfunction or even severe lung or liver damage. 

In this 2-hour workshop, we’ll look at the most common chemicals found in most household cleaners—and their effects on our bodies. Then we’ll explore natural alternatives to replace these harmful products. Finally, we’ll roll up our sleeves and spend the rest of our time together creating a cleaning kit to take home.
