Sunnyside Guest House use of vegan crulety free none toxic chemicals

At Sunnyside Guest House, our commitment to a safe and eco-friendly environment means actively avoiding the use of harmful chemicals in every aspect of our operations. From cleaning products and laundry detergents to toiletries and weed control, we carefully select alternatives that protect the health of our guests, staff, and the planet.

Many conventional products contain toxic chemicals that can pose serious health risks. For instance, parabens, often used in toiletries as preservatives to prevent bacterial growth, can mimic estrogen in the body, disrupting normal hormonal balance. This interference can lead to issues with reproductive system functioning and has been linked to an increased risk of breast cancer. By opting for paraben-free products, we ensure that our guests are not exposed to these harmful substances.

Another hazardous chemical we avoid is Triclosan, an antibacterial agent and pesticide found in some soaps and cleaners. Triclosan can disrupt thyroid hormone regulation, potentially affecting metabolism and breast development. Additionally, it is classified as a skin and eye irritant and is highly toxic to aquatic life. Our choice to exclude Triclosan from all cleaning and personal care products reflects our commitment to both guest safety and environmental preservation.

We also ensure that none of our products contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), a harsh foaming agent used in many soaps and shampoos. SLS can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to irritation, dryness, and discomfort, especially for those with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema. Furthermore, SLS can accumulate in internal organs, posing long-term health risks. By selecting SLS-free products, we provide our guests with skin care that is gentle, moisturizing, and safe.

Another group of chemicals we consciously avoid is phthalates, which are often found in fragrances, cleaning products, and plastics to increase flexibility or to bind fragrances. Phthalates are known to disrupt the endocrine system, interfering with hormone regulation and reproductive health. Studies suggest that phthalates may contribute to developmental issues, fertility problems, and even increase the risk of certain cancers. By ensuring all of our products, from toiletries to air fresheners, are free from phthalates, we further protect the health of our guests and minimize environmental contamination.

At Sunnyside Guest House, we believe in providing a relaxing, worry-free environment by using only natural, non-toxic products. This dedication to health and sustainability ensures that our guests can enjoy their stay with peace of mind, knowing they are surrounded by products that are as safe as they are effective.

White Vinegar instad of weed killer

At Sunnyside Guest House, our beehive is a vital part of our eco-friendly approach, and using white vinegar instead of chemical pesticides plays a key role in ensuring the health and safety of our bees. Bees are incredibly sensitive to the harmful chemicals commonly found in conventional weed killers, such as glyphosate and 2,4-D, which can contaminate the plants they pollinate and negatively impact their foraging behavior, reproduction, and even survival. These chemicals are known to contribute to colony collapse and can devastate local bee populations.

By opting for white vinegar as a natural weed control solution, we create a pesticide-free environment that protects our bees and allows them to thrive. Vinegar doesn’t leave behind toxic residues or pollute the plants that bees rely on for nectar and pollen. This ensures that the flowers in our garden remain safe and healthy for our bees to pollinate, promoting a balanced and vibrant ecosystem. The use of vinegar not only keeps weeds at bay but also helps maintain the health of our hive, which is essential for the sustainability of our gardens and the broader environment.
