Environmentally Friendly Cleaning in Your Home
products they clean their house
with can affect their family’s health.
Some cleaners have toxic substances like phthalates
in synthetic fragrances to the noxious fumes of
sodium hydroxide in oven cleaners.
Ingredients in common household products
have been linked to asthma, cancer, reproductive
disorders, hormone disruption and neurotoxicity.
You can be affected by skin contact,
inhalation, ingestion and even storing
them in your house-hold.
Since many homes are almost air-tight
these days, our indoor air environment
has more chemicals than the air outside.
Using natural cleaners like lemon, vinegar
and essential oils won’t cause any harm.
You can also buy certified cleaners from
chain stores, that bear the EcoLogo,
Green Seal, and USDA BioBased Certified logos.
These logos indicate that the product is actually
environmentally friendly and works.
Beware, there are many products that say they are, but don’t have any proof!
Get educated on these harmful chemicals and make some changes!
