Chemicals in Your Cleaning Products

The average household contains about 62 toxic chemicals, say environmental experts. We’re exposed to them routinely. Ingredients in common household products have been linked to asthma, cancer, reproductive disorders, hormone disruption and neurotoxicity. Chemicals found in laundry detergent and other fabric cleaners can damage your clothes and lessen their life as well.

Did you know that a study published in 2010 found that women who used more household cleaning products, including air fresheners and mold removers, had a 2x higher risk of breast cancer?

Manufacturers argue that in small amounts these toxic ingredients aren’t likely to be a problem, but when we’re exposed to them routinely, and in combinations that haven’t been studied, it’s impossible to accurately gauge the risks. While a few products cause immediate reactions from acute exposure (headaches from fumes, skin burns from accidental contact), different problems arise with repeated contact.

No one can avoid exposure to toxic chemicals altogether, but it is possible to reduce them significantly. My wellness company offers many safe alternatives to the cleaners found in your local grocery store. Most often, these cleaners are even less expensive than their chemical laden grocery store counterparts.

Our cleaners and products do not contain bleach, ammonia, formaldehyde, unnecessary fillers, phosphates and no safety caps! Even better, they come concentrated to save you money. All you need to do is add water. In fact, it would take 3 bottles of Tilex to equal 1 bottle of our bathroom cleaner which costs under $6.

Did I also mention that all of our products have a 100% satisfaction guarantee?
