There is no doubt that a break-in is by far one of the most horrible and traumatic things that you and your family could possibly go through. It's the kind of thing that can have some seriously long lasting effects on you and your kids. Sure, there's the initial horror of realizing that valuable things have been taken, but things can be replaced. What tends to have the strongest impact of all is the feeling of discomfort and fear that comes from knowing that someone else was able to invade your most private and personal space without you ever knowing. Your home is meant to be your sanctuary. It's the place where you feel the safest and most secure in the world. So when that safety and security is violated, it's pretty understandable that many people find it incredibly difficult to deal with. However, you can't spend your life living in fear, especially when you have a family. Because of that, here are some things that you can do to help you and your family feel safe again after a break in.

Where’s the best place to seek shelter from the sun? The answer is, our homes.

A How-To Guide: One Weekend Home Deep Clean

[JuralMin]

Cleaning. We know we have to do it, but wow, is it something we’d rather not be wasting our time on. It’s a chore and it feels like one, especially when you’ve had a long day at work and just want to be zoned out on the sofa. 

The general advice when it comes to cleaning is that you should do it on a little-and-often basis. Sweep a floor here; wipe down a sink there - that’s how we should all be cleaning, a little bit at a time. This belief stems from the idea that if you’re constantly doing a little bit, nothing ever mounts up and you always feel the home is at least somewhat clean. 

However… how about we fly in the face of common knowledge? Rather than spreading the misery throughout our every day, is it possible to condense a major deep clean into a single weekend? 

It is - and it’s worth trying, especially during the summer months when you’d rather be spending time with your kids. While you’ll still need to do the basics of daily cleaning, you can skip over anything more intensive and let it build up. Then, you can blast it in all in a single weekend. 

Amway Earns Safer Choice Award for the Manufacturing of Environmentally Safe Products

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Amway has been named a 2017 Safer Choice Partner of the Year Award winner by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The award recognizes Amway for its outstanding achievement in the formulation and manufacturing of products with ingredients that are safer for families, workplaces, communities, and the environment.

“Amway is committed to creating high-performing home cleaning products that are safe and environmentally friendly,” said George Calvert, vice president of supply chain and R&D. “This award is testament to the commitment and dedication of our Amway scientists and staff. We are indeed honored by this award from the U.S. EPA and look forward to a long-term partnership with them.”

Products that meet the EPA’s Safer Choice Standard may print and promote the Safer Choice label on packaging and promotions.

More than 40 Amway laundry, surface, and dish care products have qualified for the Safer Choice seal by the EPA.

When the Safer Choice label appears on a product, it means that the EPA has evaluated each ingredient in the product for potential human health and environmental effects and that the product contains only those ingredients that pose the least concern among chemicals in their class.

Selection of Partner of the Year Awards winners is based on activities that increase awareness of the Safer Choice program, including Safer Choice-labeled products, and promotion of the program’s mission to help safeguard human and environmental health through safer chemistry and safer products.

The Safer Choice Partner of the Year Awards recognize stakeholder organizations from five broad categories. Amway was acknowledged in the Formulators/Product Manufacturers category.

Partner of the Year Award Winners represent a wide variety of leadership organizations, including Fortune 500 companies as well as small- and medium-sized businesses.
