Cleaning House With Colloidal Silver
When it comes to keeping our homes clean, most of us consistently look for improved ways to rid our kitchens and bathrooms of bacteria. Left to its own devices such bacteria can easily morph into the cause of infection and illness. And while we often turn to harsh chemicals to help us get the job done, there are other more natural – and just as effective – ways to achieve the same results. One such cleaning agent that may be lesser known but is still successful in ridding the home of bacteria is colloidal silver.
Silver was used for centuries as a way to keep food and drink supplies fresh; it was discovered early on that silver, a natural mineral, was able to inhibit bacteria growth and effectually prevent illness. Because of these established properties, silver continued to be used as a topical treatment and eventually as an orally ingested therapy that helped the body fight bacteria. In fact, silver enjoyed widespread use as a preventative and treatment therapy right up until the introduction of antibiotics. Even after antibiotics came on the scene, silver still continued to be used, albeit less frequently.
Colloidal silver refers to microscopic particles of silver that have been suspended in water and exposed to a positive electrical charge. In this liquid state colloidal silver is ordinary taken by mouth, applied topically to the skin, or delivered in a nasal spray. But there are other, lesser known, uses for colloidal silver.
For instance, if sprayed onto surfaces that are prime breeding ground for bacteria, colloidal silver can kill microorganisms that cause illness, and stop the growth of bacteria. The result, of course, is that if bacteria are not allowed to grow then infection is incredibly minimized. In the spirit of keeping your family healthy, colloidal silver can work wonders in keeping bacteria at bay and keeping your home sparkling clean.
An added bonus is that colloidal silver used in this way can reduce odors in the home as well. Household odors are a direct result of bacteria growth; in keeping bacteria to a minimum, odors are reduced as well.
