WAHM chatall the ins and outs of being a Work At Home Mom, how to get popcorn out of your keyboard/printer, and when not to send that invoice with the scribble.
This is so sad.... I have to share... Please use safer products!
I received a story yesterday, of a sweet little boy who is almost two that loved blues clues and trucks... he grabbed some resolve his mother sat on the floor and she turned her back for a minute and sprayed some in his mouth. He died 18 hours later. Not sure of the details of his death, but please mamas keep your kids safe. There are so many other, safer alternatives out there and be VERY careful using ANY cleaners around your children!
This hits so close to home, the little boy decribed is my sons age, he loves the same things my son does (blues clues,trucks). My son will turn 2 in one month, 1 year ago, Resolve carpet cleaner was very widley used here as I have light carpet and it's constantly getting stained. I am so VERY thankful to have safer products in my home, and to know that my son is safe. I can't count the number of times he's grabbed a cleaner sitting right next to me and sprayed it before I could grab it back. I don't ever want this to happen to anyone! I hear so many stories and EVERY single one I've ever read the mom thought "that will never happen to me" but it does happen and can happen to anyone and not just with resolve, I've heard stories of kids dying from cascade, hair conditioner, liquid dish soap, and it doesn't take large amounts, just a spray or a fingerful can do so much harm and even cause death! Please protect your families in any way you can, find a way to get the toxic products out of your home, find healthier, safer alternatives! There are so many other, safer alternatives out there, I just want you to use which ever one best suits your lifestyle. You have the power to educate others, you can save a life. This was me a year ago, I wish someone would have opened my eyes sooner and I am so very thankful that this didn't happen to me. Hug your little ones, and keep this family in your thoughts.
**EDITED TO CLARIFY THAT I DID NOT SAY ANY OF THE THINGS YOU SEE QUOTED IN THIS THREAD! THEY WERE FROM AN EMAIL I RECEIVED WITH THE STORY IN IT!**

I need to stop reading your posts, I guess since I thought this was an actual post, not spam type of stuff.
I know business is supposedly great, but I do wonder if it would be even better if the guilt factor wasn't used...or maybe it would be worse and that's been proven...
Anyway, I didn't realize when clicking on this post that it was a creative title to get people to come read about your business.
I hope that mom who lost her child does not know that she is being used as a bad example as to why to use your products. But hey, if she'd used those products, she would have been a good mom and her life would be perfect, right? Heck, if those products will make my life perfect, sign me up! (This is sarcasm, I am not interested in the company at all and posts like this turn me off of it even more.)
I like you as a person, but I hate these techniques.

Like I said in my post, you can use any products you want, I just want people to use safer products. If not ours then someone elses. Seriously I want to help people, not guilt people. Some people honestly do not understand or think that this can happen to them, but IT CAN! And if sharing this story saves even ONE life then it is very worth sharing. I don't care if mamas start using vinegar, water and baking soda to clean, I just want them to get the chemicals and toxins out of their home so that this doesn't happen to anyone else. If someone can't afford to use our products, I would help them find something they could, there are ways to make your own but some people don't have the time or energy to do that, so that is where we come in. I would have never made my own, and I would never have paid health food store prices.... so thank GOODNESS I found this company and the products, or my child might not be here right now, He's a little houdini that can get into ANYTHING and seems to know how to get into ANYWHERE so I have no doubt he would have found a way to my cleaners.

fortunately i don't think that is a risk. i am pinned down on my rocking chair with two grumpy teething babies so i just did several news searches for information on this tragedy. there is no record that i can find.

.....plus if she really wanted to be a good mom and avoid those hedious products she should not have allowed her kids to drink colored sugar water AKA Kool-Aide. and then she would have never had a emss to clean up in the first place
But hey, if she'd used those products, she would have been a good mom and her life would be perfect, right? Heck, if those products will make my life perfect, sign me up! 
. ftr, anything you read about that you can use wahm soap to do will also apply to ivory soap.
when you are marketing to us.
