Cleaning is all about creating a safe, healthy environment for you and your family.
However, traditional cleaning products contain chemicals that compromise your health rather than protect it! That’s why we put together a free guide on the hidden toxins in cleaning products. Here’s a free printable version.
Common Toxins in Cleaning Products
First, parabens are preservatives in cleaning sprays and air fresheners.
These are endocrine disruptors that may mimic estrogen, potentially linked to reproductive issues and certain cancers. For example, methylparaben, ethylparaben, and propylparaben.
Next, sulfates are in many surface and floor cleaners, dish soaps, and laundry detergent.
Can cause skin and eye irritation. Manufacturing contamination may introduce carcinogenic byproducts. Examples include Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), or ammonium lauryl sulfate.
Phthalates prolong the smell of scented products.
Endocrine disruptors affecting hormones including testosterone, reproduction, and
development. Also found in lotions, shampoos, and perfumes.
Next,VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds) caused by aerosols and air fresheners.
These release gases causing headaches, nausea, and dizziness. Also, prolonged exposure links to liver and kidney damage and may worsen asthma symptoms.
Lastly, PSAS (Per-andpolyfluoroalkylsubstances) are found in degreasers.
Known as “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down in the environment. In fact, they accumulate in the body over time, leading to long-term health risks. For example, they’re linked to cancer, liver damage, immune system harm, and developmental issues in children.
