We recently moved from our LEED gold certified “green building” to another green building, but we discovered there are different interpretations of what makes a building green. There’s always a bright side to everything and in this case I know there are many great things that can make your home a healthier place to live. One of the most important is removing the chlorine from your family’s bathwater. Excessive chlorine exposure is linked to asthma, eczema, dry skin, premature aging, and more serious diseases such as cancer. Considering the fact that you absorb about 8 ounces of water during a 15 minute shower, and even more while soaking in the bathtub, it’s important to dechlorinate your bathwater. In my experience, I couldn’t believe the difference in my skin after living in a building with double filtered water, to one that was heavily chlorinated. Talk about dry skin! and I definitely don’t want to be bathing my baby in this water. I was so relieved to find bath salts to add to bath water that inactivate the chlorine at Green Nest:
