Dangers in Household Cleaners

The Dangers of Many Household Cleaners



We all want a clean house - but if you’re using conventional household cleaning products, you could be ingesting dangerous chemicals through your skin, mucous membranes, and respiratory system. While many commercial cleaners contain dangerous ingredients, some of the most toxic include:

• Bleach, which can damage your respiratory system and react with other household products such as limescale cleaners and ammonia.
• Air fresheners, which may contain formaldehyde, petroleum distillates, aerosol propellants, and dicholorobenzene.
• Ammonia, which can cause skin burns and respiratory irritation. It can even create a harmful gas when combined with bleach.
• Drain cleaners are caustic and can burn your skin and harm mucous membranes. They can also contain perfumes that may damage the respiratory tract.
• Laundry detergents contain dyes and other chemical agents that you can inhale or absorb through your skin. Biological or enzyme containing products can cause skin sensitisation
• Dishwashing soap contains chemicals and fragrances. Dishwasher detergents may contain bleach and other chemicals that can end up in trace amounts on your utensils and crockery, and therefore then get into your food.
  
• Scented candles may contain harmful perfumes
