Chemicals... GROSS!!

 What If I told you that everyday you allow over 50 of the most dangerous assassins into your home with your family, what if I told you these assassins claimed to be protectors of your family but actually all they do is hurt them? According to experiencelife.com the average household contains over 64 toxic chemicals as a result of cleaning supplies only. These are the supplies we use to keep our homes safe and clean and I just told you they can lead to cancer, breathing problems, and even death.

Lets think about that for a second, how can my cleaning products cause cancer and breathing problems? One of the main causes of the growth of tumors is internal inflammation, some of the harsh chemicals that are apparently so hard on grime are just as hard on your breathing tract and skin, unlike the digestive system, the skin has no way of filtering out toxins, when exposed to certain toxins they bypass any type of filtration and have unprecedented access to the organs. Some of these toxins found in everyday products such as air fresheners, oven cleaners, and glass cleaners. On of the most common chemicals found in a standard glass cleaner for example is ammonia, this chemical is known to be one of the most harsh agents against breathing is a common tool used in the weaponry of chemicals. Fortunately this and many of the other chemicals we are being exposed to that are not very healthy for us, all have safe alternatives, take ammonia for instance replace that ammonia based glass cleaner with your average household white vinegar and water and you will see streak-less glass without the emphysema.

Aside from the effects the chemicals have on us personally, even greater is the risks we are exposing our world to. Or world depends on us for protection just as much as we on it. Our O-zone layer is at imminent risk and awareness is the only adequate protection. Green cleaning is providing the protection to ensure that our world may stand the test of time. It is the hope that by switching to green products and using less of these harsh chemicals the effects may be reversed. Visit our directory for green cleaning companies and tips. Help make this world better you owe it.
