(NaturalNews) By now, most NaturalNews readers have realized that mainstream household cleaning products are filled with toxic chemicals. Typical household cleaners, including window cleaners, bathroom tile cleaners, toilet cleaners and kitchen cleaning products, are frequently
loaded with toxic chemicals. These chemicals include benzene-based chemical solvents (many of which promote cancer), artificial fragrances, artificial colors and more.
In fact, the cleaning products aisle of a typical grocery
store is
a tour of toxicity featuring
chemicals that cause cancer, Alzheimer's disease, liver
disorders, kidney problems, reproductive disorders and much more. Use these
products in your house long enough and you just might find yourself suffering from serious degenerative
disease.
It's a fact: Neither the FDA nor the
EPA has never tested nor approved most of the chemicals used in household
cleaning products. They are experimental, synthetic chemicals and they're not only
toxic for you, they're also extremely toxic to
the environment.
The challenge, though, has always been "So what should I use instead?" Are there
household cleaning products that are truly
natural, safe for you and your
family, and that
actually work to get the
cleaning jobs done?
Searching for a natural product that works
Over the last two months, I traveled to several
natural products trade shows in California, including
Expo West and the Health Freedom Expo. I was looking for safe, natural
home cleaning products that I could review and recommend to
NaturalNews readers.
While I found quite a large number of products that were natural, there were two problems with most of them:
Problem #1) Huge amount of natural
fragrance. Some home cleaning products were so loaded with fragrance that I couldn't even stand to be in their trade show booths. I wanted something that had no added fragrance and smelled nice but not overpowering.
Problem #2) Watered-down formulas. Virtually all the natural cleaning products I found were watered-down formulas, where the consumer is buying mostly
water. What I wanted was a
concentrate where I could add water myself and avoid buying and shipping excessive water in the product bottle itself (it's very expensive to ship water).
Jackpot at the Health Freedom Expo!
A few weeks later, I was chatting with
Robert Scott Bell at the Expo West show. Robert is the
radio host of the super-popular
Robert Scott Bell Show (
http://robertscottbell.blogspot.com) which is without a doubt the best
health freedom radio show on the air today.
Robert introduced me to Bill Tufts, a former
environmental attorney in Canada who has dedicated a lifetime of work to protecting water resources and the
environment. Thanks to his professional focus, Bill became acutely aware of the environmental
toxicity of mainstream cleaning products. The chemicals in those products cause
frogs to have both male and female reproductive organs; they kill the
fish, pollute the oceans and create a toxic world.
With all the
toxic products they purchase,
most consumers are literally poisoning the planet with the chemicals they dump down the drain. To help solve this problem, Bill set out to develop a safe and
truly natural cleaning product that was not only incredibly powerful and effective around the house, but was also safe for aquatic
life downstream and didn't pose any threat whatsoever to the environment.
The secret of d'limonene
And he found it! Locked within the cells of
orange peels, there is a natural chemical called
d'limonene which turns out to be an ultra-powerful cleaner that is both remarkably strong while still being safe for the environment.
As Bill Tufts explains in an interview in
The Health Crusader (
http://www.healthtruthrevealed.com/full-page.php?id=13253633412&&page=article):
"A study was conducted by the World Health Organization in 1992 on the evaluation of carcinogenic risks to humans. d’limonene was the highlight in this study, and it was declared that not only was d’limonene non-carcinogenic, it was actually anti-carcinogenic. The conclusion was that d’limonene was safe in all respects and the US
FDA gave it a rating of GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe). This report was published in 1993. It was also determined that d’limonene was non-ozone depleting and was in a position to replace toxic chemical cleaners, which were not only toxic, but carcinogenic to the users as well as ozone-depleting."
Even with the discovery of
d'limonene, however, mainstream cleaning product
companies never made the switch. Their cancer-causing benzene-based chemical solvents were so much cheaper than d'limonene that they stuck with their toxic formulas (which exist to this day). But Bill developed a natural cleaning product called
Orange TKO, which is made from
orange peels and has d'limonene as its active ingredient.
We now carry
Orange TKO in our NaturalNews Store at a huge discount for NaturalNews readers.

It turns out I had first tried Orange TKO back in 2005, when I gave it a "Best of Show" award at the natural
health expo in Tucson, Arizona (
http://www.naturalnews.com/015623_health_water_salt.html). But I had never met the inventor, Bill, until a few weeks ago. After talking with him in person and learning more about his history and integrity, I got really turned on to both the product and the man behind it. One thing I've learned over the years in this
business is that it's not just the product that matters; it's the integrity and personal vision of the people
behind the products that's just as important.
Orange TKO has it all: A truly remarkable cleaning product that works so well you'd think it must contain toxic chemical solvents (but it doesn't), and a caring, passionate company leader who developed the product for all the right reasons.
Made from orange peels,
Orange TKO works on just about everything.
It replaces over a dozen cleaning products around your home, garage and
garden. It's safe enough to use on your baby's crib, yet strong enough to remove grease from a farm tractor. It works in the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room and dining room. It's safe to use on
pets (when diluted, please read the instructions), and it eliminates odors, stains, grease and much more.
I've found that with Orange TKO and Dr. Bronner's soaps, those are the only two general cleaning products I need in my entire house! I've used Orange TKO to remove diesel fuel stains from a shirt, to remove tar stains from my
car, and to wash non-organic
vegetables and fruits in an effort to remove pesticides residues.
This is important because I have a rule on my farm in Ecuador: No
toxic chemicals! (Well, as close to that as we can manage, anyway.) We don't even allow guests to bring toxic
shampoo products from America, because we don't want that stuff going down the drain and into our water table around here.
Only natural products are allowed at our house! I shampoo with our own Valley of Longevity shampoo product (
http://www.truthpublishing.com/Valley_of_Longevity_Natural_Shampoo_36_oz_...), I do laundry with Maggie's Soap Nuts liquid (
http://store.naturalnews.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=100151_100378), I mop the floor with Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps, and now I'm using
Orange TKO for cleaning just about everything else.
Orange TKO has quickly become my No. 1 household cleaner. I even use it on my laptop computer to clean the keyboard. It has a wonderful orange smell, and the best part is that I know it's safe for the environment here. When I'm using Orange TKO, I'm not flushing toxic chemicals down the drain or supporting those big bad corporations that manufacture
poison. Instead, I'm supporting a company championed by an environmentally-conscious businessman who developed an amazing product that really works!
I definitely consider Orange TKO to be "Health Ranger Approved." It has earned my thumbs up for use in every home, business, ranch or farm. It's even been listed by the Organic Materials Review Institute for use in
organic food production facilities (
www.OMRI.org).
Orange TKO at the best prices ever
Naturally, being so impressed with this product, I just had to figure out a way to get it to NaturalNews readers at a bargain price. We were able to acquire a shipment of Orange TKO products at ridiculously good prices that we're passing on to you through the NaturalNews Store.
When you price this out, keep in mind that
Orange TKO is a super concentrated liquid made from orange peels. You add your own water at home to dilute it down to usable levels. A mere two ounces of Orange TKO mixes with an entire gallon of water to create a household-strength spray cleaner! That's why just one bottle of Orange TKO is equivalent to 32 bottles (or more) of ordinary cleaners.
Most cleaning products sold in stores are mostly just water, you see. But Orange TKO is highly concentrated, so you get far more product for your dollar by simply adding your own water. If you do the math, Orange TKO is actually
less expensive than the toxic chemical cleaners on the market!
The NaturalNews discount
A 16 oz. bottle of Orange TKO concentrate retails for $24.95. It sells on the Orange TKO website for $20.95 plus shipping. Through our special arrangement for NaturalNews readers, we've been able to offer the following:
• You can purchase one 16 oz. bottle of Orange TKO concentrate for
$19.95. When you buy three 16 oz. bottles, the price for each bottle is reduced to
$15.95! That's 36% off retail price, and a bottom-line cost of just under $1 per ounce. Remember, one ounce of Orange TKO concentrate makes 1/2 gallon of cleaning solution, so these three bottles makes a whopping
twenty-four gallons of cleaner!

get Orange TKO at an even lower price per ounce because we've also managed to stock some 1/2 gallon containers of Orange TKO concentrate. It normally retails for $54.95. The Orange TKO website sells it for $53.95 plus shipping. But through this special arrangement for NaturalNews readers:

$49.95. When you buy three 1/2 gallon containers, the price for each container is reduced to
$42.95! That's 22% off retail price, and just 67 cents per ounce. Remember, because one ounce of Orange TKO concentrate makes 1/2 gallon of cleaning solution, this container makes 96 gallons of cleaner -- enough to clean a football stadium!
Pick some up from the NaturalNews store by clicking here.Remember,
Orange TKO stores for years, so it's perfect for preparedness, too. It doesn't degrade, so it has an unusually long shelf life. The fact that this liquid is so highly concentrated means that half a gallon may last you a year (or more) while handling virtually all the cleaning needs in your house, garden, garage and more.
The cleaning liquid with a thousand uses
Throw out all those toxic cleaning products that clutter the space under your kitchen sink! As you know, most conventional products are bad for you and bad for the environment.

it has a thousand uses around the house, garden, office or farm:

Click here for the NaturalNews Store page.And thank you for your support! Remember, as we always say,
you vote with your dollars. The simple act of choosing to purchase and use
environmentally-conscious products that support small companies rather than toxic products made by mega-corporations makes an important difference.
You are affecting everything that happens downstream (with the fish, frogs, oceans, etc.) with every decision you make about cleaners, soaps,
body care products and even medications. The fewer chemicals you use in your house, the more you help protect both the planet and your own health.
As Bill Tufts explains, "Most
household cleaners are created with toxic chemicals from the
benzene and chlorine families. These chemical cleaners churn out streams of
toxins. These toxins enter your body through the pores in your skin to a point where your
liver cannot process all the toxins. These toxins spread throughout your body and cause prostate
cancer, [breast] cancer, pancreas and colorectal cancers, all in epidemic proportions. These chemicals cause other diseases including lung disease, and are also destructive to the earth and water supplies of our country." (CRUSADER, HealthTruthRevealed.com).
Orange TKO is the best household cleaner I've found yet, but I also support many other companies' products, including Seventh Generation, ECOS, and others. They're great products too, but I personally like the Orange TKO concentrate the best.
