With the world being conscious of health and the environment, a great concern has turned towards the products that causes different types of illnesses. Companies are manufacturing product that contribute to some of the sickness that is being caused by using toxic chemicals in clothing, cleaning products, foods, and beauty products.

Some of the harmful chemicals used in products that is purchased for the home are Phthalates (used in fragrance household products), Perchloroethylene (spot removers, carpet and upholstery cleaners, Triclosan (liquid dishwashing detergents and hand soaps labeled"antibacterial), Amnonia (found in polishing agents for bathroom fixtures, sinks and jewelry, also glass cleaner), Chlorine (scouring powders, toilet bowl cleaners, mildew removers, laundry whiteners), and Sodium Hydroxide (oven cleaners and drain openers).

Those are just a few of the toxic chemicals that are encountered everyday in the homes and because of the expectancy of the product completing the cleaning results, the toxic chemicals are not taken into consideration of the harm it could do.

Green Cleaning eliminates a high percentage of the toxic chemical usage that is encountered on a daily bases by promoting products that contains natural ingredients that is environmental and human friendly. The green cleaners eliminate the toxic orders, the injury that could have a negative affect if touch by the skin, and will help to reduce the destruction of the environment. 

I encourage everyone to join the IJCA to learn more about green cleaning and the positive effects it will have on the environment and the entire family. Also, if you are in need of a company that does green cleaning, check out the IJCSA Green Cleaning Directory.
