Cleanliness and Godliness:
A Green Cleaning Toolkit
From the

Scripture teaches us that we are all created in the image of God and that our bodies are
temples of the Holy Spirit.
Our 21st century lifestyles, however, often cause our bodies to
reflect modern lifestyles more than sacred living.
There are over 82,000 synthetic chemicals
registered for use in everyday household items, emulsifiers, automotive, agricultural, food
processing, and other industries.
We are exposed to these chemicals in our homes and work
places, in the food that nourishes us, and in the air we breathe.
Alarmingly, only ten percent of
these chemicals have been tested for their effects on human health.
