Everyday chemicals VS Green products

22 Oct 2022 4:17 PM | Deleted user

There are several of harmful chemicals used in our homes each day,  Below will compare the benefits of incorporating Green Cleaning into the home.

A common household product, window cleaner, contains Dioxane,  Dioxane with prolong use can harm eyes, skin, lungs, liver and kidneys. A green subsititue is white vinegar and water.  A very common household product is laundry detergent and they contain Alkyphonol Ethoxylates.  AE's have been linked to breast cancer and are highly toxic to amphibians. A brand called puracy natural laundry detergent has a very high green rating. Hydrogen perioxide can also be used to clean laundry. Many households use air fresheners reguarly.  Common air freshners contain formaldehyde and many other VOC's.  These products should be avoided at all costs.  A great green air freshner is non-toxic brand absolute green. Fresh flowers and pine cones also freshen air!

A great place to start on your Green Cleaning journey is IJCSA.org/Green Cleaning Directory.

As this information is shared, learned, and implemented, I believe, Green Cleaning will become the new normal for homes throughout the world!
