Enviro-maids wish

Help enviro-maids with our wish!!

Eat your fruits and veggies but be careful what you buy!

I admit...I am a lazy blogger. I mostly just cut and paste links that i find useful or helpful to people. Having a small business in the cleaning industry, i am just so dang busy with no time to do what i love! Frankly, i love writing but i have forgotten how over the years because i have been too busy since i can remember. Today was supposed to be a massive ice storm which caused me to cancel all my cleans for today (major cash loss by the way) and as it turns out, it is a really nice day. It has, however, allowed me some time to sit in front of my computer and while perusing facebook, i came across an article regarding certified organic products

http://eartheasy.com/blog/2013/04/certified-organic-what-does-it-mean/

 I took the time to read it and so should you! With all of this awareness of GMO'S and PESTICIDES, you would think i would buy strictly organic but for some reason i always just reach for whatever is there. I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables http://www.ewg.org/foodnews/summary/ and i will definitely start paying attention from now on to these particular items. I remember growing up and never having intestinal issues until i hit about 30 years old. Now i am 44 with all sorts of problems. I guess some of it can be linked to stress but i am starting to wonder if the food i have been eating over the past 15 years hasn't caused some of the problems i and apparently tons of other people are having with irritable bowel etc. http://bodyandhealth.canada.com/channel_condition_info_details.asp?disease_id=169&channel_id=42&relation_id=10900
It shouldn't be this common! 20% of the population affected?? Caused by eating?? crazy eh!

Problems getting hard wood floors shiny again?

Every day i seem to get asked the same question. "What can i use on my hardwood floors that won't streak and requires less effort"? It's time you bought yourself a Norwex mop system. $123.99 plus HST and your worries are over. I can personally vouch for this product because i use it in my cleaning duties every day. I have clients with large beautiful homes. Ones where you wouldn't want to be responsible for damaging their floors yikes! We also had a grueling challenge on construction cleans after the trades have all made a disaster of the hardwood floors and it is all up to http://enviro-maids.ca/ to make those floors gleaming for the customer when they walk into their shiny new 'just built' homes. Nothing i tried worked on the floors until i found Norwex. Now all i have to do is vacuum up the drywall dust and debris, run the dry mop pad over the floor to catch all the fine dust that the vacuum leaves behind and then spray on warm water and use a wet mop pad to finish. Three easy steps and it only needs to be done once if you can believe, even after all that mess. Before Norwex i had to do floors 3 to 5 times to make them ok and they still didn't look like they do with Norwex. Of course i am also impressed with the money i save, not needing to buy chemicals any more. Water is all you need! Click on the link to find out more. You can buy directly from this link or just call me and i will demo the mop system for you that is of course if you live in the Owen Sound area.
