Are Your Household Cleaners Toxic?
Most people assume that the ingredients in their household cleaners have been government tested, but there may be danger lurking under your kitchen sink. Many of these products contribute to allergies, asthma and headaches and may contain carcinogens.
Purezing.com has a great resource to help you identify the ingredients and products you purchase that may be harming the environment and the health of you and your family. Drain cleaners, toilet cleaners and oven cleaners, for example are some of the most toxic products you use in your home.
Most manufacturers will not list their ingredients on the label, so look for products that say “nontoxic” or “biodegradable.” Brands like Seventh Generation, Mrs. Murphy and Simple. Pure. Clean. are all great choices. These natural products may cost a bit more, but are well worth it. You can also make your own cleaners very inexpensively at home. Look for more information on this in future posts.
