A microbiologist then took slides from all the surfaces she had cleaned, labelled and then took them back to his laboratory. The claims of the makers were then gradually disproved.
It seems to me, that ultra cleanliness and excessive pouring of chemicals into the water table is wrong and a waste of money and resources. When you were young, didn't you have a pocket full of dirt and earthworms to shew mummy? It seem that a little dirt didn't hurt anyone.
What do you think?

If you have tall walls, an extendable squeegee is a must-have. This article on eco-friendly bathrooms suggests natural cleaning solutions http://www.dispenser.com/blog/organi...ndly-bathroom/. Chemicals in cleaning products can also enter our bodies by absorption through the skin or through ingestion of chemical residues left on dishes and cutlery. When cleaning products are flushed down the drain, they can have serious impact on the ecosystems.
