Re: Chemicals, Chemicalz and Yet More Chemicals

It seems to me that anything that actually works is eventually banned by the powers that be, we are then left with lots of products which probably contain the same stuff anyway but sold in a different bottle. The Mr Muscle products are a good example, the original Mr Muscle was excellent and I used to use it to clean all sorts of things but these days it's like using a bottle of soapy water.

I'm not manic about cleanliness and believe we need to build up our immunity but when I do use a chemical, I expect it to work.

Re: Chemicals, Chemicalz and Yet More Chemicals

In my job I use various chemical products, descaler is the one I can't live without. I can do anything else with a microfibre cloth and cold water, but getting the stainless steel sinks shiny needs toilet descaler.

Re: Chemicals, Chemicalz and Yet More Chemicals

Omg it's funny how memories surface, the last two posts reminded me of my grandad, my nan used to meet him at the back door with a tin of vim,anyone remember that ? Anyway off he'd go into the washroom, no bathroom back then just a shed attached to side of the house with a tin bath in it. And he'd have his bath using vim to get the worst of the muck off himself ! Wonder he had any skin left really. Used washing up liquid to wash his hair too !

Re: Chemicals, Chemicalz and Yet More Chemicals

We seem to be surronded by chemicals
They are in Cosmentics, Shampoo, Aftershave, Household products and food all to prolong shelf life,and some of them are toxIc.

Sometimes the air we breath is toxic as well
It is thought that if the immune system is healthy they can not do much harm. That means eating Red and Purple fruits and some Red Wine an Chocolate full of Polyphenols but we would have to eat tons of fruit a day, impossible and expensive. You can buy tablets too, not cheap!

Ironically some lucky people stay healthy whatever they eat or drink
