According to Environmental Working Group’s investigation, more than 2,000 cleaning supplies contain substances linked to serious health problems. Regular exposure to harsh chemicals in common household products have been linked to asthma, cancer and respiratory problems. Unlike our digestive system, our skin does not protect us against these toxins. When we absorb harmful chemicals from our cleaning products it goes straight to our organs.

Many of the household cleaners we use in our homes are convenient and used to make our lives easier. However, we fail to realize the consequences of using many of these chemicals. According to Poison Control, dish washing detergent accounts for more accidental poisonings than any other substance particularly in households with small children.

Alternatively, when we use green cleaning products we do not have to worry about chemicals being breathed in or absorbed into our bodies.Green cleaning products are a healthy alternative and can reduce the chances of developing chemical induced illnesses.

Cleaning products are known to release harmful chemicals into our environment but changing to eco-friendly methods, helps reduce pollution to the air and minimizes impact on the environment. Most green products also use recyclable packaging which minimizes waste.

Green cleaning products can be cost effective and also made at home. The natural essential oils, also have a soothing aroma versus the overpowering smells of chemical cleaners. There is no question that cleaning with natural environmentally-friendly products is much healthier than the impact of harsh chemicals on our health, home, and the environment.
