COVID-19 has made life at home difficult for families around the world. The scrubbing, cleaning, and sanitizing it takes to stay virus-free never seems to end!
Cleaning products that we use come with their own risks. It is unnatural and unhealthy to cover ourselves, our homes and our children with synthetic chemicals and toxic solutions every day. Fortunately, there are better ways to stay clean and protected during the pandemic. The EPA, FDA, and CDC have approved or recommended hundreds of products to kill COVID-19, including some natural solutions. You don't have to use abrasive chemicals and bleach to feel safe. We have selected some natural products recommended by our trusted authorities to help destroy COVID naturally and effectively. Let's scrub.
Natural soap
Soap and water are widely recognized as the best ways to remove COVID-19 from our bodies and surfaces at home. And you don't need to use soap that contains a synthetic disinfectant. Natural soaps made from fat or oil and lye kill the virus just as effectively. You may just need a little extra scrubbing to make sure your surfaces get super clean. Natural soaps remove the layer of fat that protects the COVID-19 virus. The virus cannot survive without this lipid layer. When you stock up on bars of your favorite natural soap (or make your own) your family will be virus-free without the fumes and toxins found in household cleaners.
UV-C light
Using light to kill COVID-19 is the cleanest way to ensure a 99.9% disinfection rate. Not only that, but it also kills bacteria, mold, allergens, and other harmful microbes. UV-C light contains radiation that destroys microbial life like COVID-19. This happens almost instantly and without chemicals or even water. It doesn't leave anything behind after cleaning. There is no residue or odor and it cannot be ingested by curious children. In fact, the CDC stated that it was UV-C light one of the most promising means of COVID-19 disinfection. And Irving Medical Center at Columbia University recommended it as a method of killing the virus. How do you get UV-C light for your home?
You cannot install a UV-C lamp as the radiation can be harmful to the eyes and skin if exposed directly. Instead, UV-C flashlights or wands are becoming popular products for getting rid of the virus quickly. One of the most popular is that Allume UV-C Light Wand from Violet Healthcare. This foldable and portable stick contains 16 powerful UV-C lights. This ensures that any infected surface is quickly and completely sterilized. Allume is about the size of a standard flashlight and can be used anywhere. However, since the lights are only on one side of the wand, there is no risk of the light shining in your eyes or on your skin. It even has a child-proof switch and a fail-safe gravity sensor that turns off the light when it rotates towards your body or face. Allume is all natural and 99.9% kills COVID-19 on surfaces such as:
* Countertops
* Bathroom
* Doorknobs
* Parcel deliveries
* Groceries (safe for fresh products!)
* Public transport
* Public toilets
* Elevator buttons
* Clothes and bed linen
So much more…
Allume is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery (like your phone) so you don't have to worry about alkaline battery pollution either. Allume is the smartest, easiest, and cleanest way to kill COVID-19 at home and on the go. To limit the spread of COVID-19, Violet Healthcare has reduced the price of the Allume UV-C wall by 50%.

Alcohol (70%)
Alcohol is on the list of approved disinfectants for COVID-19. It might not be the safest liquid to keep around the house, but it is way better than the chemical cocktails that masquerade as safe cleaning solutions, and it's 100% natural. The only catch is that alcohol is only effective at killing COVID-19 when it is 70% or more effective. This means that most of the store-bought alcohol cannot be used to kill the virus. Most of the alcohol we drink is 80-100 proof in strength. This has led many to believe that it is powerful enough to kill COVID-19. But “proof” is not the same as “percent”. 2 Proof is only 1%, so 80 Proof Vodka only consists of 40% alcohol (and 60% water). This is nowhere near enough concentrated to kill COVID-19. If you live in a country or state that sells pure alcohol, you can use it to clean your surfaces and kill COVID-19. Just make sure there is at least 140 pieces of evidence. Isopropyl alcohol or rubbing alcohol also kills COVID-19 with an effectiveness of 70%. However, we do not recommend having this type of alcohol on hand as it is highly toxic if ingested.
A Clean Way To Kill COVID-19
We are all concerned about COVID-19. And we are all concerned about the health of our families. But that doesn't mean that we have to give up our commitment to a sustainable future and a healthier lifestyle. Many natural cleaners kill COVID-19 just as effectively as the synthetic solutions available in the supermarket.
When it comes to hand washing, nothing beats natural soap and water. To clean surfaces, the Allume UV-C Light Wand sterilizes quickly and without waste. And if you only trust one disinfectant that attacks your nostrils, 70% alcohol will do it.
Stay strong during these tough times and remember that a better world is coming – especially when more of us are committed to using natural cleaning products!
