Lucky Vitamin cares about our planet. We offer several household items and cleaning products made from recycled paper.

Recycling is important to assure a green environment for future generations. We can all help to protect our planet if we can develop a “recycle / green” mind.

One of the easiest ways to start this change: buy recycled products for daily needs, such as napkins, paper towels and bathroom tissues. They can all be made of recyclable material providing the same top-quality as products made from raw material.

Most companies offer products made from 100% recycled paper, helping to reduce the need for virgin wood pulp - used especially to make paper - resulting in more trees left standing.

Most products are hypo-allergenic, whitened without chemicals,and do not contain chlorine. Some people may think products made from recycled materials are coarse and rough, but these companies are now making very soft and absorbent products.

We could save a lot of trees if everyone could start recycling. Most grocery stores are now using recyclable plastic bags, which can be used as trash bags.

Another way to reduce the environmental issues is purchasing a water bottle. Think about how many bottles of water you drink every year. Now, think about all the plastic bottles you could have saved if you had a “water bottle”. Reducing the water bottle waste is a great way to protect the planet and also save some money.

We love a clean place. Everyone feels great when our house or apartment is nice and clean. An organized and neat place makes life at home much more enjoyable.

Cleaning is very important for our health as well, as the absence of dirt, stains and dust will reduce the presence of germs, many times responsible for allergies, asthma and intestinal diseases.

Household products are very efficient these days but are they safe to use?

A quick look at their ingredients will answer the question: no, far from safe. Yes, cleaning supplies may get rid of all stains, and may claim to be the most powerful in the market, but these products could also be dangerous for your family.

The “all-purpose” cleaner can make you feel dizzy and sick. Some of the chemical ingredients used in these products may leave harmful residues for your family to breath or ingest. Just check the labels, it’s scary to find out that the “caution” and “warning” parts are normally twice longer than directions or how to use parts.

Air fresheners may cause the same problems. Air refreshers are great products to keep bad odor and garbage smells away from your place. However, it may not be safe for your health. Remember: when breathing, a “good smell” isn’t always a “safe smell”.

The solution? We don’t want to have a dirty place but we have to be very careful in our product selection. Natural cleaning supplies are not as easy to find, but are much better than conventional lines.

Most green cleaning aids do not use any chemical cleaning agents and use only natural ingredients, promoting a much better environment for your family.

How you decorate your home reveals a great deal about you. One color scheme -complete with matching accessories - can tell the world (or at least your guests) that you are a hopeless romantic, hiding a dark side beneath your preppy clothes, or unremarkably dull. That’s why you spend hours deciding between the purple skull and the country-chic still life, and days comparing the pros and cons of a red leather couch to those of an overstuffed beige sofa. But don’t think that once you’ve selected the perfect wall-hanging you’ve achieved the perfect image. Because it’s not just the décor that defines you, it’s the entire environment, and that includes how you clean and what you clean with. 

Traditional, mainstream products were, until recently, the only choice for true neatniks. If your mother walked in and smelled Pine Sol, bleach or an aromatic combination of both, you got her nod of approval. But that’s all changing. We are becoming startlingly more aware of the number of unnecessary chemicals in our cleaning products from ammonia to chlorine bleach to flammable solvents; we’re realizing just what they can do to our bodies as well as the environment.  And none of it is good. Fortunately, we have an alternative – we can clean green. Continue Reading >>

It doesn’t need to be spring to clean your household…and start fresh with non-toxic cleansers that won’t disturb the healthy balance of your body. It’s hard to understand how it’s taken us this long to become aware that those chemicals we’re using to clean our households are going into our bodies. Wiping down counters and vacuuming carpets shouldn’t be followed by an unhealthy round of coughing and sneezing. And if you have children, the chemicals found in standard cleaning products are detrimental to their sensitive immune system. Think about what you are “cleaning” with when buying these products at stores. If you aren’t using non-toxic cleaners, you’re likely to be causing more harm than good. Check out LuckyVitamin.com’s Natural Cleaning Aids to start you in the right direction.
