Powerful cleaners that are highly effective on
virtually every surface in your home.
Yet they're gentle to the environment.
How Do You Clean Your Home?
How safe is your home?

Unfortunately, the commonly held
assumption that legally marketed
household cleaners are safe to human
health and neurological function is
unwarranted.
How safe is your home?

Legal standards for preventing harm from toxic
cleaners are inadequate for several reasons:



Only a small fraction of hazardous chemicals are
tested;
Federal regulations require only a small proportion
of chemicals to be reported on labels;
Guidelines about safe use of cleaning products are
notoriously inaccurate and difficult to understand.
How safe is your home?

In the face of steadily increasing rates of
developmental disabilities, cancer and autoimmune systems dysfunction, the public has a
right to know about the toxic chemicals they
are exposed to.
How safe is your home?

Many popular household cleaning solutions like
Fantastik & Formula 409 contain a synthetic
solvent and grease cutter called butyl
cellosolve. This hazardous petroleum based
chemical can irritate your skin and eyes, and
repeated exposure to it can cause
permanent liver and kidney damage, and
impair the body’s ability to replenish
blood supply.
How safe is your home?

Traditional scouring cleansers like Ajax &
Comet contain crystalline silica, an eye,
skin and lung irritant, classified as
“reasonably anticipated to be a
human carcinogen” by the National
Institute of Environmental Health Science.
Chlorine, commonly used, is also
extremely harmful to the respiratory
system.
How safe is your home?

Window cleaning sprays like Windex &
Glass Plus contain ammonia, a
suffocating gas, irritating to the eyes
and respiratory tract. Many like Windex
and Glass Plus, contain butyl cellosolve, a
neurotoxin that’s easily absorbed
through the skin.
How safe is your home?

Most well known powders like Tide, All,
Gain & Dash contain corrosives that can
burn the eyes and skin. Other chemicals
include sodium bisulfate (a corrosive that
can cause severe eye, skin and
respiratory irritation), ethoxylated
alcohols (which contain I,4- dioxane, which
is “reasonably anticipated to be a
human carcinogen.”)
How safe is your home?

Two of the best selling brands of automatic
dishwashing detergents, Cascade & Sun Light,
contain phosphates and chlorine–two extremely
toxic chemicals. Phosphates released into the
environment rob lakes and ponds of oxygen,
leading to the suffocation of aquatic plants
and animals. Chlorine fumes are highly irritating
to the eye, throat and respiratory tract. Inhaling
them can cause headaches, burning eyes,
and breathing difficulties.
