    Most people are unaware of the real harmful effects that common household chemicals can have on them and the environment.

    For instance all-purpose cleaners and automotive antifreeze contains Ethylene glycol, which is highly toxic and is a neurotoxin and nasal irritant. This chemical also contributes to ozone pollution and has been listed as a hazardous air pollutant under the Clean Air Act of 1990. On the other hand baking soda is a green and healthy cleaning alternative.

    Benzalkonium chloride, used in most disinfectant sprays and cleaners is a biologically active which supports the mutation of bacteria that are resistant to it. The healthier alternative as a natural anti-bacterial cleanser would be vinegar of baking soda. When mixed with water and essential oils, this serves as an effective and pleasant aroma bacterial killing solution.

    Most furniture polishes and degreasers contains Kerosene which cuts grease. This hazardous chemical can damage lung tissues and dissolve fatty tissue surrounding nerve cells. Using citrus essential oils along with baking soda mixed with water works great as a decreased. Lemonene found in the peels is a natural grease cutting agent. For your furniture you can use beeswax, almond oil and lemon essentials as a good alternative for polishing.
     
    Another dangerous chemical most people use daily is fluoride. Not many people are aware that fluoride poisoning is more dangerous than lead poisoning and can be found in toothpaste and drinking water. Up to 50 000 people die each year of fluoride poisoning. It is known to weaken the immune system and is poisonous to the kidneys. The safest natural alternative to fluoride in toothpaste would be to buy fluoride free toothpaste or by making a paste with baking soda. Osmosis water filters are known to remove up to 90% of fluoride so it's a worth while investment.

    Many traditional daily household cleaners contain extremely harmful chemicals that may be toxic to the brain and nervous system, the hormone system and other organs. The government has so few resources dedicated to this research, so the problem continues to be largely hidden from the everyday consumer in America. Furthermore, the lack of ingredients listed on product labels makes it almost impossible for the everyday consumer to find healthy household products.

    The products used to clean your surroundings can affect your health and the environment. Chemical levels can be up to 70 times higher inside the home than out. There are over 100 chemicals commonly found in homes that have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer, skin reactions, psychological abnormalities, headaches, depression, joint pain, chronic fatigue, chest pains, dizziness, loss of sleep, asthma….and the list goes on. Housewives have a 55% higher risk of getting cancer than do women working outside the home.

    Poisoning by these chemicals is also major concern. The harsh chemicals are usually bottled in attractive packages and bright colors, making them all the more likely to be found by children. Approximately 70% of all poisoning accidents occur in children between the ages of one and five.  

    Removing toxic chemicals from your home and replacing with natural green products is simple. The amount of products need to truly clean your home will be greatly reduced. Very minimal natural products are required, and can be combined to make different types of pastes and cleaning agents for a variety of applications. The cost savings is hugely beneficial as well. Not to mention the extreme health benefits for anyone residing in the home.

    Many cleaning services are making the switch to natural green products. Employees risk for developing health issues will be decreased significantly, as well as the employers risk of liability for workers health issues. Local communities will recognize the companies effort to reduce the use of resources. 

    A proper green cleaning program will protect the cleaning employees and the occupants of the space being cleaned all while maximizing cleaning results. Technology has allowed the development and mass production of natural cleaning products, making it that much easier and attainable by everyday consumers.

    Harmful effects of everyday cleaning chemicals compared to green cleaning includes irritation to the respiratory passages, eyes and  skin. 

      Some harsh chemicals can cause brain damage, nerve damage, reduced memory and concentration, personality changes, fatigue, sleep disturbances and reduced coordination.

      Some cleaning products that include surfactants are slow to biodegrade in the environment.

      Hash chemicals  have also been found to stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells.

      Cleaning chemicals can be harmful to the environment and the ozone.

      There is always a risk of cancer with the use of harsh chemicals.
