WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR HOUSE CLEANING PRODUCTS
Why would I need a green house cleaning from Better Life Maids? I already have a good set of household cleaning products, and I do a good job of cleaning. Why should I spend additional money on something that I’ve already paid for with my own cleaning products?
Well, we certainly don’t want to offend you and your cleaning skills, but you may not realize a few things regarding those household cleaners you bought. Have you read those labels? Do you know what you’re even getting, or what those ingredients even mean? Here are a couple of things to know that could help demystify those things for you:
- The More Serious the Safety Warning, the More Likely it’s Hazardous to Your Health – You may think that these warnings are all the same. After all, there’s probably not a household cleaner out there that you want your child or pet putting in its mouth. But, it’s important to look at what comes after the warning on the household cleaner label. Labels such as “Danger” or “Poison” indicate that the cleaner contains something that’s poisonous, corrosive, and/or flammable. This is something you probably don’t want to breathe in or touch, let alone swallow. Also look at the labels for specifics, such as “vapor harmful”, or “causes burns.” In addition their are some cleaning chemicals like Parabens, Exylothates, and more that are know carcinogens. Many of these same chemicals are banned in other countries.
- Many Chemicals Haven’t Been Fully Tested – This means that we don’t really know how some of these household cleaner ingredients affect our health and the health of our children or pets. WebMD says that the harsh ingredients in household cleaners can cause health problems such as allergies, eye irritation, and airway irritation. If dirt isn’t healthy, then shouldn’t our cleaning products be the healthy ones?
- You Don’t Really Know What You’re Getting – Federal regulation does not require that cleaning products disclose every single ingredient in them. Meaning, a consumer, such as yourself, can’t really know what you’re buying when you purchase a cleaning product. Also keep in mind that unlike food ingredients, the ingredients listed on cleaning products may not necessarily be listed in the relative amounts. In fact, according to the Federal Hazard Substances Act, household cleaners are the ONLY household products that aren’t required to disclose all ingredients. Yikes!
