True story: my boyfriend had been diagnosed with sleep apnea, and when we bought our first home, I changed my ways and made my own detergents, truly clean and biodegradable, and then painted with VOC-free paints – well, not only does he not use the machine, he doesn’t turn in his sleep and he doesn’t even snore at night now! He’s cured!

What needs to happen now in marketing and PR departments for this true eco-cleaners, is convincing the masses how these products can be:
1. cost-worthy
2. effective
3. worth switching from commercial brands and synthetics
