The Hidden Dangers of Conventional Cleaning Products
Behind the sparkly sheen of conventional cleaning products lurk a cocktail of potentially harmful ingredients: dyes, phthalates, ammonia, bleach, triclosan, formaldehyde, parabens, optical brighteners, synthetic fragrances, and a myriad of petrochemicals.
But here's the shocking part:
Manufacturers aren't mandated to reveal all the components of their concoctions. So, what's really nesting in your cupboards and creeping around your surfaces?
While many brands tout the safety and quality of their ingredients, their refusal to disclose them raises an eyebrow. If they're genuinely proud and transparent, why the secrecy?
Demystifying the 'Chemical' Debate
Yes, it's true: "everything is a chemical," including the water we sip and the air we breathe. The world runs on chemical interactions, many of which have undeniably bettered and even prolonged our existence. The real concern isn't chemicals per se but discerning which ones adversely affect our health or our planet.
Moreover, "natural" or "naturally derived" doesn't equate to being intrinsically safer or eco-friendlier. The vast majority of ingredients undergo some kind of chemical process so it's generally misleading to call products "natural". Additionally, the safety of an ingredient extends beyond its origin. The dose and application must always be considered.
