Thankfully, you can don’t have to resort to harsh, unnatural ingredients to get your dishes sparkling clean. Using some basic items in your pantry, you can make your own Homemade Dishwasher Detergent:

1 cup washing soda
1 cup Borax (ONLY if you have well water)
2 Tablespoons sea salt

Thoroughly mix together and keep in an air-tight container. Add 1 to 2 Tablespoon of the mixture to each load. If your dishes are cloudy, add a little vinegar or a small drop of Strong Kangen Water Dish Soap to the rinse cycle to reduce cloudiness.

…Or wash with Strong Kangen Water
If you don’t own an Energy Star dishwasher, or just prefer to wash your dishes the old fashioned way, Strong Kangen Water can help! Strong Kangen Water is a powerful cleaner, with extra strength absorption qualities to help fight tough grease and grime from your dishes.

Strong Kangen Water can help you save on your water bill. It takes a quarter of the usual amount of water to rinse off Strong Kangen Water, as opposed to chemical detergents.

All-Natural Pet Health

All-Natural Pet HealthMost Americans love to pamper their pets and keep them healthy, happy, and well-adjusted. In fact, over 60% of Americans own at least one pet, and the most popular pets are, not surprisingly, dogs and cats. Your veterinarian has probably recommended flea and tick treatments so he can live a long, healthy life without the nuisance and dangers of these parasites. But have you ever wondered if the chemicals in those treatments are safe for you and your pet?

The truth is quite shocking! There are pyrethroid-based chemicals, organophosphate insecticides (Ops), and carbamates found in most flea and tick treatments, and these ingredients can be very hazardous to pets and children. At least 1,600 pet deaths have been reported to the EPA over the course of five years as a result of these spot-on chemical-filled treatments, yet the government agency has still not enforced harsher regulations.

But do not fret! You don’t have to spend an outrageous amount of money on all-natural treatments, and you don’t have to succumb to using dangerous products on your pet! You can take Fido’s health into your own hands and make a healthy, natural, and effective flea and tick treatment in the comfort of your own home with Enagic’s Beauty Water. You’ll have peace of mind that every ingredient is good for him. See our recipe below.
Clean dogs with Beauty water
And while you’re making a healthy flea and tick treatment with Beauty Water, why not think about making your own pet shampoo as well? Most pet shampoos contain a chemical called pyrethrin, which has been potentially linked to an increased risk of autism. Pregnant women who bathe their pets with shampoos that contain pyrethrin are twice as likely to give birth to a child with an autistic spectrum disorder, according to early results from the study conducted by Childhood Autism Risks from Genetics and the Environment.

If these findings are any indication of what pyrethrin can do to an unborn child, think of the hazards of scrubbing your beloved pet with chemical-laden shampoo! The good news is that thanks to Enagic’s Beauty Water, you don’t have to purchase expensive holistic pet shampoos; you can make your own shampoo right at home.

Here are the recipes:

Flea and Tick Spray

  • 2 teaspoons essential oil (rose geranium or palmarosa)
  • 2 cups Beauty Water

Combine ingredients in spray bottle and shake to blend.
Spray pet and areas where pet sleeps.

All natural pet schampoo with Beauty water

Pet Shampoo

  • 1/3 cup glycerine
  • 1 cup natural dish soap
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 quart Beauty Water

Combine ingredients in a large recycled bottle and use as needed.

Enagic’s Beauty Water can help you keep your pet happy, healthy, clean and comfortable!

Wash Your Clothes With Kangen

Kangen Water and washing clothesSummer brings fun outdoor activities for all ages. From camping to soccer, beach volleyball to water skiing, and everything in between, summer is certainly the time to get out and get active! But after you come home and wind down, you’re left with the inevitable aftermath of summer fun: laundry.

Have you ever stopped to question your trusted laundry detergent? Here are some startling truths you may not have known:

Companies who manufacture laundry detergents are not required to list all their ingredients on the product label.

  • Most laundry detergents contain a chemical called nonylphenol ethoxylate, which is actually the same toxin found in many pesticides.
  • Your skin absorbs every chemical found in laundry detergents – it doesn’t wash out in the washing machine!
  • In order to mask the unfavorable smell of these chemicals, many companies add “fragrances,” which are actually just more chemicals (not natural ingredients)
  • Americans spend more than $3 billion a year on laundry detergents

If you’re thinking of switching out your laundry detergent for something more healthy, economical, and environmentally-friendly, look no further than Kangen Water®. Strong Kangen Water, with 11.0 pH level, is great for fighting stains. Even the dreaded coffee, oil, and grease stains are no match for this highly alkaline water! Regular Kangen Water® can be used to make your own all-natural laundry detergent. Here’s a wonderful “recipe”:
Soap nuts

  • Soak 1 cup of soap nuts in 4 cups of Kangen Water® overnight. These can usually be found in your local health food store.
  • In the morning, liquefy the mixture in your blender
  • Strain the liquid into a bottle through a ver fine sieve or cheesecloth
  • Use 1 cup of detergent with each load, or as needed.

Imagine finally getting rid of all those chemicals in your clothes when you use Kangen Laundry Detergent!

So enjoy your outdoor fun with peace of mind, knowing your clothes and skin can stay chemical and toxin-free, even after the laundry is done.
