Mum used good old soap and water on us and for cleaning and we were never sick. When we went to the doctors for injections the doctor would say children need to consume a peck of dirt if they are to build up resistance . The only child that attended before us was never allowed to get dirty and was constantly visiting tthe doctor he said the poor little boy needed to build up his immunity by being exposed to some dirt.Carolyn.K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814984506642537843.post-87734820777539227012019-01-05T20:15:45.619+11:002019-01-05T20:15:45.619+11:00Asa child, my mother kept me spotless and I was al...Asa child, my mother kept me spotless and I was always sick. She commented once that the dirtiest children in the neighbourhood were never sick like her children were and maybe there was something to be said for allowing your children to be dirty on occasion.PatriciaAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18354154150387601905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814984506642537843.post-31923082624081335692019-01-03T17:30:26.973+11:002019-01-03T17:30:26.973+11:00Miracle Spray is the best, isn't it, although ...Miracle Spray is the best, isn't it, although I tend to just use the microfibre cloths and good old elbow grease for most cleaning jobs. We have hand wash *for visitors* - my family knows it's not for them, they get to use the soap and water :) I am thankful every day for a family doctor with good sense (it helped that he has four sons and he and his wife weren't afraid to let them get dirty), and that we had such a tight budget for so long. I can see how young mothers and new homemakers get swept up into the multiple cleaning product propaganda with all the advertising and false information spread by marketing.Cath Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12982092492622482815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814984506642537843.post-89395992639609197462019-01-03T12:07:05.093+11:002019-01-03T12:07:05.093+11:00Hi Cath

I have never bought sterile anything like whipes , hand wash etc. Been making up miracle spray for a long time, bi carb and vinegar and micro fibre clothes keep our house lived in and our immune systems tip topMargMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08896423679765970372noreply@blogger.com
