Nature Direct Eco-Friendly Chemical Free Home Cleaning Products

With a task as simple and straightforward as cleaning your home, you’d think that there wasn’t much that could go wrong. Sadly, you’d be surprised at all the corners that cleaning product companies cut in order to deliver you a “good” product at a lower price.

The cold hard truth is that unless your cleaning products are eco-friendly such as ours, they probably contain a whole range of different chemicals and toxins that are not only poor at cleaning but could be causing damage to your health.

What’s dangerous about my household cleaner?

From synthetic fragrances to the chemical substitutes used to clean your home, we’re going to look at a couple of toxins that lurk in your everyday cleaners and why you should immediately stop using them.

• Bleach – We’ve all heard of bleach and some of us might even use it. It can be bought and used separately or might be contained in a mix. It’s an irritant that can leave some nasty damage to our bodies and if you combine it with wastewater (stuff that you flush down drains and toilets) it can form toxic compounds that will cause respiratory issues.

• Optical whiteners – Ever wondered how some cleaning products make your clothes and surfaces so shiny and white? Well, it’s probably not because they’re clean, but because of optical whiteners. These are chemicals designed to absorb UV light and help items appear brighter and whiter.

• Stabilizers – These are included in cleaning products to increase their shelf life and make them last longer. However, stabilizers are often made from ethylene oxide or polyalkylene oxide which can cause dermatitis and skin, eye and lung irritation.

• Synthetic fragrances – Any cleaning product that is advertised as a certain small most likely uses a dozen to a hundred chemicals just to create a smell similar to what is being advertised. Many of these chemicals are not evaluated for safety and the combinations can even be carcinogenic if inhaled or put on your skin.

This is just a small list of toxic chemicals that could be in your cleaning products. Every time you purchase a use a regular cleaning product, you run the risk of harming not just your own health, but the environment around you. It could cause respiratory problems, asthma attacks, dizziness or even headaches if you’re exposed to these toxins for too long.
