SAFE HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS FOR CLEANING

Picture
We all use products to clean our homes, but do you really know what is in these cleaning solutions? When choosing the right products for cleaning your home, it is important to carefully read the label and know exactly what is in the cleaner. Not all cleaners are safe for all uses.
There are some chemicals that should not be used to clean your home, even if you have access to products with these ingredients. To avoid exposing yourself and your family to harmful chemicals, avoid using products containing:
  • Phthalates – Phthalates are known endocrine disruptors and can be absorbed through the skin and go straight to organs. This harmful chemical is found in many fragranced household products, including soaps and air fresheners. Unfortunately, it is unlikely “phthalates” will be listed on the label because companies do not have to disclose what ingredients are in their scents due to proprietary laws. Therefore, if you see “fragrance” on a label, phthalates are most likely present.  The best way to avoid using these products is to avoid scented sprays and soaps.
  • “Perc” or Perchloroethylene – This chemical is found in carpet and upholstery cleaners, dry-cleaning solutions and spot removers. Perc is a known neurotoxin and has been classified as a “possible carcinogen” by the EPA.
  • Triclosan – This chemical is found in most liquid dishwashing detergents and hand soaps that are labeled “antibacterial.” It is an aggressive antibacterial agent that can actually promote the growth of drug-resistant bacteria as opposed to protecting you. Unless you have a reason to use antibacterial soap, stick to regular detergent.
  • “Quats” or Quaternary Ammonium Compounds – This is found in fabric softener liquids and sheets as well as most household cleaners that are labeled “antibacterial.” Like Triclosan, Quats can help antibiotic-resistant bacteria breed.
  • Ammonia – This common chemical is found in polishing agents as well as glass cleaner. Ammonia can be a very powerful irritant for those who have asthma or other breathing problems. Over-exposure to ammonia can lead to chronic bronchitis and asthma. Ammonia also poses a death risk. If mixed with bleach, ammonia can create a poisonous and deadly gas.
