How I clean my VRBO (Non-Toxic & Chemical-Free)

Non-toxic cleaning solutions

Gary Brecka (popular Human Biologist and Biohacker) loves Hydrogen-Rich Water (HRW), and we love him for spreading the message!

HRW Benefits:

  • It offers over 170 documented therapeutic benefits for the body
  • It's a selective antioxidant, which means the H₂ gas neutralizes harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS)
  • Boosts mitochondrial performance and ATP production, helping your body and brain stay sharp, energized, and resilient.
  • Supports Detox Pathways + Genetic Health 

Best of all? It helps to reduce cellular aging and inflammation exactly where you need it the MOST!

There are now over 3,000+ published medical and scientific studies showing hydrogen’s positive effects with zero side effects. Gary uses both ionizers and tablets to get his daily H₂. For a therapeutic dose, the sweet spot is around 0.5–1.5 ppm in 2 liters daily.³

Here’s where we differ from Gary: we don’t use bottles, tablets, or H₂ bags. (Check out our resource links below). We’ve relied on medical-grade water ionizers for the last eight years. At home, we clean it monthly and replace filters annually. It’s simple. But there’s something even more powerful that many people miss: keeping your home chemical-free and non-toxic. That’s why I personally love my ionizer, it creates my drinking water and my cleaning solutions.

Can I tell you a quick story? 

We got our VRBO cleaned by professional cleaners. Their mopping solution was SO strong that the smell stayed in the house for hours. I texted them and asked if they could use our mop and spray solution (11.5 pH) instead. They graciously obliged and even texted me the solution they used: Fabuloso. Given that work I’m in, I quickly researched and apparently my nose (and no doubt my GSTP1 Genetic SNP) wasn’t lying. Fabuloso has been recalled! Not due to the toxic chemicals, but the Pseudomonas bacteria. I guess not all multi-purpose cleaners are anti-bacterial. If you go down a second rabbit hole, you really don’t want a pseudomonas infection. In particular, it’s hard to find the right antibiotic as many pseudomonas have become resistant, and sometimes surgery is needed.² Geez, not so Fabuloso!¹

Some toxic ingredients are Glutaral, sodium laureth sulfate, and Fragrance. The Colgate and Palmolive company says it best on its Fabuloso website: do not inhale, do not get it on your skin, and keep it away from children and pets. 

Can non-toxic and chemical-free solutions really keep my house clean? We’ve received 82 five-star reviews and a perfect 10/10 cleanliness rating. Here’s what we use to clean our VRBO and home regularly. Children and pets are welcome!

  1. 11.5 pH for degreasing, mopping, and stain removal, no smell, just clean.

  2. 2.5 pH kills 99.9% of bacteria in under 30 seconds, safe for all surfaces, even fabrics. Better than bleach!

  3. 6.0 pH beauty water replaces glass cleaners like Windex.

  4. Bar Keeper’s Friend for occasional scrubbing.

  5. Method's Toilet Bowl Cleaner, because the Spearmint scent is non-toxic and smells great!
