Simple Changes: NonToxic Cleaning Products

from Today’s Gut Health Tip · host Melissa Hall Klepacki, M.Ac.

Today, a simple step you can take along this wellness journey is to check your cleaning products - are they toxic? First off - scan your labels; anything that reads "hazardous to humans and domestic animals" is toxic and should be disposed of. The average household contains an average of 62 toxic chemicals from the phthalates in synthetic fragrances to the noxious fumes in oven cleaners. Ingredients in common household products have been linked to asthma, cancer, reproductive disorders, hormone disruption and neurotoxicity. Triclosan is an antibacterial in soaps  causes cancer and is ruining our environment Phthalates - endocrine disruptors Perchloroethylene or PERC found in carpet cleaners and spot solutions is neurotoxic (KILLS BRAIN CELLS) Ammonia is an irritant and can cause lung issues.  Substitute with vodka. Chlorine can also cause lung issues and irritate skin.  Use baking soda instead. Love this website for lots of do it yourself ideas!! https://diyjoy.com/homemade-cleaners-recipes/
