UNSAFE INGREDIENTS = UNSAFE PRODUCTS

Many common cleaning products that are purchased at the grocery store contain warning labels that the products are dangerous, poisonous, or flammable. When exposed to heat, aerosols can explode and cause accidents, serious injury or death. Cleaning your home or offices shouldn't be a risky job. Unfortunately, the majority of cleaning products available in retail stores are unsafe, harmful, toxic, and even deadly. The American Association of Poison Control Centers reported that exposure to many popular household cleaning substances can be serious enough to require treatment in a medical health facility.
  Unsafe cleaning products can be more dangerous than a loaded gun. The National Safety Council reported that "more children under four die of accidental poisonings at home than are accidentally killed with a gun at home" You wouldn't keep a loaded gun under your sink or in your bathroom yet millions of households keep extremely dangerous household products where children or pets might accidentally get them. How many chemicals do you breathe in your home?
 
  You know that good, healthy feeling you get when you've just cleaned your house? Sorry to spoil it, but you may have just made your home dirtier. Think of it this way. You wouldn't let your kids play with toxic chemicals, so why would you let the baby crawl over a floor that's just been wiped with them. That's much more dangerous than the orange juice that was just there.

 How dangerous? Just take a look at these statistics.

  •  Over 90% of poison exposures happen at home.
  • Common chlorine bleach is the #1 household chemical involved in poisoning.
  • Organic pollutants, found in many common cleaners and even air fresheners, are found at levels 2-5 times higher inside your home than out.
  • A person who spends 15 minutes cleaning scale off shower walls could inhale three times the "acute one-hour exposure limit" for glycol ether-containing products set by the California Office of Environmental health Hazard Assessment.
  • Common cleaners give off fumes that can potentially increase the risk of kids developing asthma, the most common chronic childhood disease.
  • 1 in  13 school-aged children has asthma. Rates in children under five have increased more than 160%.
  • Children are highly vulnerable to chemical toxicants. Pound for pound of body weight, children drink more water, eat more food, and breathe more air than adults. The implication of this is that children will have substantially heavier exposure than adults to any toxicants that are present in water, food, or air.
