Most of us assume the products we use to clean our homes are safe. Unfortunately, many popular household cleaners are dangerously toxic! Long-term exposure to harmful ingredients can cause health problems including asthma, lung/breathing problems, wheezing, chemical burns, and even cancer. Consumers are finding it more difficult to know what is safe and what is toxic. Especially, with the high prevalence of greenwashing, which happens when companies use marketing tactics in their commercials and product labeling to makes customers believe they are selling natural and environmentally safe products. Sadly, according to the environmental watchdog, Environmental Working Group (EWG), there is little to no federal regulation of chemicals that are in our household products. EWG’s recent investigation found more than 2,000 cleaning supplies on the market were found to contain ingredients linked to serious health problems. Therefore, we must be vigilant in protecting our own health!
