Ditch the Chemicals: Clean Your Home Naturally

Updated: Apr 4, 2023

Water is essential for our health and well-being. It hydrates us, keeps our bodies functioning, and helps remove toxins from our system. But with so many different types of water available, it can be challenging to know which one to choose. In my personal experience, I have learned that choosing the right water and filtration system is critical.


It all started with hearing about the potential dangers of drinking water from plastic bottles left in the car during hot weather. As a health-conscious person, this brought up my awareness and made me realize that I needed to take action. I started researching different water bottle brands, from elite to affordable, but nothing felt quite right.


I then tried various water filtration systems, such as Brita and water dispensers at the grocery store, but still couldn't find the right fit. I spent a year investigating water filtration systems, and that's when I stumbled upon kangen and other comparable options. While I initially dismissed kangen as just hype, my research revealed that a good water filter is essential, and I needed to find the right one for me.


After analyzing all the options and comparing the products, I landed on a company that provided me with the right filters for my needs and desires. I even got a water report on the water in Jacksonville, Florida, where I reside, to ensure that I made the right choice. The reality is that water needs to be filtered, and a good filtration system is necessary to ensure that we are drinking safe and clean water.


In my research, I noticed that many companies in the water filtration industry engaged in competitive marketing tactics, such as bashing each other's products. For me, this was a red flag. As a potential customer, I needed facts, not just marketing hype. I wanted to know what the product was, what its warranty was, and how well it did the job it claimed to do.


Choosing the right water and filtration system can be overwhelming, but it's worth the investment to ensure that we are drinking clean and safe water. My personal experience has taught me that we need to do our research, look beyond marketing tactics, and invest in high-quality filtration systems to protect our health and well-being.


As someone who has been using a water filtration ionizer machine for quite some time, I've come to appreciate the numerous benefits that come with having access to acidic water. That is produced from the machine. While most people are aware of the alkaline water produced by these machines, few are aware of the benefits that come with the acidic water that they produce. In this blog post, I'll be sharing some of the ways that you can use acidic water to improve your health and your life.


Firstly, it's important to understand what acidic water is and how it's produced. Acidic water is water that has a pH level lower than 7.0, which is considered neutral. The machine that I have is an AlkaViva Delphi 2. It produces both alkaline and acidic water by running tap water through a series of filters and an electrolysis chamber that separates the water into its acidic and alkaline components. You can check the machine and it's family out on my product page.


The acidic water produced by the machine typically has a pH level between 4.0 and 6.5, depending on the source water.


One of the primary benefits of using acidic water is its antibacterial properties. Acidic water has been shown to be effective in killing bacteria such as E. coli and salmonella, making it a great natural alternative to chemical cleaners. You can use acidic water to clean your home, your kitchen, and even your fruits and vegetables. Simply fill a spray bottle with acidic water and use it to clean surfaces or rinse your produce.


Acidic water can also be used as a natural skin toner. The low pH level of the water can help to balance the skin's natural pH, which can help to reduce acne and other skin issues. Simply use your hands or a cloth to apply the acidic water to your face.




Another way to use acidic water is for hair care. The low pH level of the water can help to reduce the pH of your scalp and hair, which can help to reduce frizz and improve the overall health of your scalp and hair. You can use acidic water as a final rinse after shampooing your hair, or if you're like me and you don't shampoo very often, it can be used as a substitute.


Finally, acidic water can be used for cooking. The acidic nature of the water can help to tenderize meats and improve the flavor of certain dishes. You can use acidic water to soak beans, lentils, and other legumes before cooking to help reduce cooking time and improve digestibility. It's also great to clean fruits and veggies!


Ditching chemicals can have a positive impact on fertility for both women and men. Chemicals found in common household cleaning products, personal care items, and even food can disrupt hormone balance, affect reproductive organs, and contribute to infertility.


By choosing to use natural alternatives such as acidic water, you can significantly reduce your exposure to harmful chemicals and promote a healthier reproductive system. By making these small changes, you can create a safer and healthier environment for yourself and your family, while also promoting fertility and reproductive health.


In conclusion, there are many benefits to using acidic water from an ionizer machine. From cleaning your home to improving your skin and hair, acidic water can be a powerful tool in promoting overall health and wellbeing. If you have a water ionizer machine, I highly recommend exploring the many ways that you can use acidic water in your daily life.




Here's how you can get started! If you don't have acidic water YET, you can substitute Vinegar! I prefer not to use essential oils anymore, So I simply put a few lemons in the mix and let them sit for a while.


Cleaning with acid water and lemon is a great way to clean your home naturally and without harsh chemicals. Acid water is created by the process of electrolysis, and has a pH level below 7, making it a natural disinfectant. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to clean your home using acid water and lemon:

Ingredients:

  • Acidic water from a water ionizer machine (such as the alkaViva Delphi 2)

  • 1-2 lemons

  • Spray bottle

  • Microfiber cloth

Instructions:

  1. Fill a spray bottle with the acidic water from your water ionizer machine.

  2. Cut one or two lemons in half, and squeeze the juice into the spray bottle. You can also add lemon slices or lemon essential oil to the mixture for a fresh scent.

  3. Shake the spray bottle to mix the ingredients together.

  4. Now your natural cleaner is ready to use! Simply spray the mixture onto surfaces such as countertops, sinks, and floors.

  5. For tougher stains or areas with built-up grime, let the mixture sit for a few minutes before wiping with a microfiber cloth. The acid in the water will help to break down and loosen the dirt.

  6. Rinse the surface with water and dry with a clean cloth to remove any remaining residue.

Tips:

  • Be cautious when using acidic water on surfaces that could be sensitive to acid, such as natural stone or aluminum.

  • Use caution when handling lemon juice, as it can be acidic and may irritate skin or eyes.

  • For extra disinfectant power, use hot or warm acidic water.

  • Always label your spray bottle with the ingredients and date of creation.

  • Store your cleaner in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight.

By using acid water and lemon to clean your home, you can avoid the use of harsh chemicals and create a safer, healthier environment for you and your family.
