The Dangerous Household Items that In Your Home and How to Avoid Them!

You may not know it but there are many dangerous poisons lurking in some of your most commonly used household items. In America, we consume so many products without ever knowing what the real ingredients are. At Bayes, we don't think that's fair to you, and is why we decided to produce our own line of home essentials to help you clean and protect your home in the safest way possible.  

But in the meantime, it's important for you to be aware of the dangerous household items in your home and how you can avoid them. Thanks to Every Day Health for putting the below list together!

1. Plastic food containers

Ever wonder why clear plastic containers turn cloudy after running through the dishwasher a few times? Plastic breaks down over time, and this breakdown can release dangerous chemicals into your food. Many plastic containers are made from chemicals including phthalates, which act as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs).  Switch to glass containers.

2. Prepared foods in plastic containers

You don’t necessarily have to toss these, but don’t heat them up in the plastic. Heating plastic can release chemicals that seep into your food. It’s well worth your time to take a few extra seconds to transfer prepared foods into a glass container before heating them in the microwave.

3. Nonstick pans

Many nonstick pans contain trace amounts of a chemical called perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), which has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals. The pans’ non-stick lining can scratch or chip off into your food. Instead, use cast iron or stainless steel cookware, and natural, non-stick sprays such as olive oil.

4. Air fresheners

I never allow artificial air fresheners in my home. Anything you breathe in eventually ends up in your bloodstream. Plug-in scents or synthetically scented candles many contain chemicals called phthalates, which have been linked to reproductive problems. Instead, choose candles made with essential oils and fresh flowers to scent your home. Also,  try using baking soda and white vinegar as odor absorbers.

5. Perfumes

The one-word ingredient “perfume” can translate to a product containing upwards of 300 chemical ingredients. (Perfume companies won’t release lists of exact ingredients for fear of divulging secrets to their competitors.) Avoid perfumes and colognes or switch to products that are scented with natural oils.

6. Fabric and upholstery protection sprays

Stain blockers essentially create an invisible plastic barrier over your furniture. This plastic will eventually wear off and be released into your home environment. Instead, simply clean stains as necessary rather than trying to prevent them.

7. Cleaning products

Check the labels of cleaning products for chemical ingredients such as phthalates and chemical surfactants. These ingredients are not only dangerous to your home, but to your skin and lungs too!

Bayes products are organic and 100% eco-friendly and work not only just as well, but far better and without coating your home in toxins. Be sure to check out our website for our full product line. You deserve to have the best and that's what Bayes is known for! 

Clean & Protect Your Indoor or Outdoor Furniture Easily With This Special Cleaner!

Spring is in full swing! This means BBQ season is ready to be enjoyed. But can your indoor or outdoor furniture handle that? With the warm weather also comes a lot more wear and tear for the fabrics on the furniture we use most; most commonly coming from dirt, food and drinks.

Easy Tips for Green Living at Home and On the Go.

The world is changing fast and in order to keep up, we need to know how to care for it. Bayes has made an entire line of cleaning supplies to help do our part in supporting you on your path to more environmentally friendly living.  Aside from that, we want to share with you some very helpful and easy tips to living in a more conscious way, both at home and on the go. 

Learn to Compost. Most people throw out old food and scraps from the table and never give it a second thought. But when you have a composting system in your backyard, you can turn those old food scraps into fertilizer or even a material that can help repair damaged parts of your lawn. You can also include lawn clippings and leaves in your composting system to create a comprehensive source of organic material. You can create a compost pile in your backyard, or you can invest in a more advanced composting system that will create the materials you need for your lawn and garden.

Conserve Energy. There are many things you can do to conserve energy in your home. Always be sure to turn off lights and appliances when they are not in use. Invest in new doors and windows when the old ones have become drafty and unable to help regulate the temperature of your home. If your home appliances are 10 years old or older, then replace them with more energy-efficient models. You may also want to think about adding alternative energy sources such as solar panels and windmills. These alternative energy sources will reduce your reliance on electricity that is generated using fossil fuels, and it will also help to lower your monthly energy bills.

Choose to Reuse. Whether work, are a student or have a family, one of the best things you can do is to prepare ahead of time and pack your own organic lunch. Along with that, choose to invest in reusable, BPA free containers and utensils. This will not only save you money but reduce the waste of paper and plastic bags and flatware. This is an especially simple option that makes a big difference. 

Start Recycling. Recycling in the home starts with finding out where you can take old newspapers and cardboard in your community to get it processed into new products. Many communities have recycling programs that make it easy for residents to put their old paper and cardboard to good use. If your community does not have an official paper recycling program, then check with a local church or civic group to see if they are running one. You can also recycle old plastic and glass food containers or reuse them by washing them out and using them as storage containers around the house. Before you throw anything out in your home, make sure that you cannot find another use for it and reduce the amount of garbage that goes into your local landfill.

Use Less Water. In some parts of the world, there are water conservation laws that dictate how residents of those areas can use water. But everyone should be conscious of water conservation and preserve the water we have. Instead of allowing rainwater to flow into the ground, you can develop a rainwater collection system and use it to water your garden or your lawn. This saves you money by allowing you to water your landscaping without using your house spigot. You can save the dishwater from when you do the dishes and use that to water the lawn or clean up accessories around the home. Conserve water and you will save money and help your community.

Use Organic Cleaning Supplies. Sometimes being green at home is not about saving money. Sometimes it is about using supplies that are safe for the environment and safe for the family. For example, home cleaning supplies that use harsh chemicals can get into the water table around your home and contaminate your property. Those harsh cleaning supplies can also leave behind a residue that can get on the hands of your children and possibly cause disease. Instead of using those harsh cleaning chemicals, you should use more environmentally friendly cleaning solutions. There are many different kinds of cleaning solutions you can make from household items that have no dangerous chemicals at all. By learning to make our own safe cleaning solutions at home, you are teaching your children a skill that they can use when they grow up to save the environment and keep their children safe as well.

This is where Bayes comes in.  We know that you have a lot of options for better green living, and we want to make sure it's as simple as possible. This is why we developed our line of organic cleaning products. We want you and your home to be as healthy as possible. Stop by today and see what we have made for you!

Save Money and Lower Energy Use in the Kitchen with These Tips!

We spend a lot of time in our kitchens but that doesn't mean we should be spending more money or using more energy! At Bayes, we value the health of your home and the earth, which is why we developed a line of organic cleaning products at an affordable price with ingredients you can trust. But we know it doesn't stop there.

The truth is, everyday kitchen tasks may be causing you to use unnecessary amounts of energy and causing your household to have a higher power bill, not to mention sucking valuable energy away from you that would be better spent on things that you enjoy! But by taking a few precautions and following a few steps, you can help save energy and money in the kitchen.

Save Energy while cooking: There are several simple ways to save energy every month in your kitchen by simply changing a few cooking habits and techniques. One easy tip is to always cover your pots and pans when cooking, preventing heat from escaping. This also cuts down on the amount of time you will be using the stove. Another great tip is to turn off the stove just before your food is ready, letting the heat that is already in the pan continue to cook for the last few minutes. The pan will stay hot for some time even though the stove has been turned off, resulting in a simple energy saver.

Purchase energy efficient appliances: Another tip to save energy in the kitchen is to find very energy efficient dishwashers or refrigerators when it’s time for a replacement. Refrigerator models that have moisture control are very helpful for saving a large amount of money on your electricity bill.

Set the faucet to cold water: A good habit to be in is to keep your faucet running cold water at all times when hot water is not needed. If you don’t need too much water for a quick clean or for any other small uses, stick to using cold water. Even if you turn the hot water on for a few seconds, energy is still being used to heat the water.

Tend to your refrigerator's seal and temperature: Many refrigerators are set to a colder temperature than is really necessary. This can lead to excessive amounts of energy being wasted. The ideal temperature to set your refrigerator to is between 37 and 40 degrees, and your freezer should be kept at around 0 degrees. If you keep your freezer packed, many times it may not be shut as airtight as it could be otherwise. It is always best to pack your refrigerator or freezer with a little bit of extra space instead of packing it tight to make sure it can be shut all the way.

Plan ahead: Here's a tip to save your sanity. If you are going to be making a pasta dinner or a casserole, why not make a large amount and refrigerate or freeze the extra portions? This way, you are getting most bang for your buck by running your oven. Also, for lunch the next day you can reheat the dinner in the microwave instead of cooking something new in your oven or on your stove.

Invest well: Be sure you always stock your kitchen with quality products and avoid the cheap stuff. Just like with Bayes organic cleaning supplies, you know your kitchen will not only be cleaned, but also maintained and preserved. When investing in home cleaning products, always make sure they are adding to the life of your home - not just meeting a short term need!

Knowing these helpful tips is a great way to not only conserve energy but also save a little bit of money when it comes to your bills. Bayes knows the importance of keeping a clean, green kitchen. We hope to find ourselves in your kitchen soon!

An Unbelievable One Step Furniture Cleaner FINALLY Exists!

We all hate lugging around five different bottles of cleaners and with a range of steps and instructions. When it's time to clean the house, it's already a task and should be kept as simple as possible. At Bayes, we saw a large need for an improvement in furniture cleaning products and we answered the call. 

We have developed a Pro Series of cleaning products meant for cleaning, protecting and maintaining your furniture.  It's been a couple years in coming but has produced a line of products that are highly effective, environmentally responsible and safe for use in the home for the family, pets, plants and leather, microfiber and other multi-surfaces. 

Today we'd love to focus on the furniture polish we've created. It's a very simple, eco-friendly alternative to other more time consuming, complicated and often toxic options. We knew you needed a one step furniture polish from satin finish wood to veneer and high gloss, even synthetic and natural stone. 

Use is simple, as demonstrated in the video. You simply spray onto the needed area, wipe gently with a microfiber towel and the polish with the unused dry side of the microfiber towel. Simple right? What's even better is that not only does it protect and clean the furniture, but due to it's natural anti-static properties, it will now resist new dust from landing on the furniture, keeping it in polished condition for even longer!

Our new line of Bayes cleaning products is totally safe for everyone in the home, while leaving no odor, no residue or even build up. Each time you use it, it takes the last application away with it. 

That's a smart one-step furniture cleaner!
