Top 11 Spring Cleaning Products You Must Avoid
Alanna Ketler naturalblaze.com Yes, it is almost that time of the year again. Time to bust out the cleaning supplies, open up the windows and freshen up your home! How about if this year we make an effort to do this the environmentally friendly way? Many of the common household cleaners that we use are not only extremely toxic and carcinogenic to us, but they are taking a toll on the environment as well. Where do you think all of the chemicals end up? First off, let’s look at some of the chemicals that you should avoid during your spring cleaning, and well, whenever possible. Here are the top eleven conventional cleaning supplies that you should avoid: Top Cleaning Products to Avoid 1. WINDOW OR GLASS CLEANER– These products typically contain ammonia. Ammonia can irritate the skin, eyes and respiratory system. It will react with chlorinated products to produce a fatal chloramine gas. 2. CONVENTIONAL AIR FRESHENERS - Air fresheners coat your nasal passages with an oil film called methoxychlor, which will kill the nerves in your nose over time, and interfere with your ability to smell. 3. CONVENTIONAL ANTI-BACTERIAL CLEANERS - Along with the production of new antibiotic-resistant “super-bugs,” the Centers for Disease Control says that anti-bacterial cleaners can also interfere with immune system development in children and they also contain triclosan which can be absorbed by the skin and cause liver damage. 4. BLEACH - Bleach is an extremely strong corrosive that can burn the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. NEVER mix bleach with ammonia products, as fatal fumes will be produced. 5. CONVENTIONAL LAUNDRY DETERGENT - Laundry detergents contain phosphorus, enzymes, ammonia, naphthalene, phenol, sodium nitilotriacetate, to name a few. These can cause rashes, itchiness, dryness and sinus problems. These chemicals are easily absorbed through your skin from your clothes and bed sheets. 6. CONVENTIONAL DRAIN CLEANER - Drain cleaner typically contains sodium hydroxide or sulfuric acid, which can cause blindness if splashed in the eyes. 7. CONVENTIONAL OVEN CLEANER - Most oven cleaners contain extremely corrosive bases of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. 8. BLEACH BASED CLEANING POWDERS - Many of these cleaning powders such as ‘Comet’ or ‘Ajax’ contain formaldehyde (a known human carcinogen recognized by the World Health Organization) benzene, chloroform among many others. Side effects can include: cancer, asthma and reproductive disorders. 9. FURNITURE POLISH - Furniture polish such as ‘Pledge’ contains nitrobenzene, which is extremely toxic and easily absorbed through the skin. 10. TOILET BOWL CLEANERS - Contains hydrochloric acid, which is corrosive to the skin and eyes. 11. DISHWASHER DETERGENT - Contain a highly concentrated form of dried chlorine, every time you wash your dishes there is some residue left, and when you use these dishes to eat with you actually consume these chemicals.
