There’s no shame in being a neat freak, but you need to have your head examined if you are still using traditional cleaning products to get your home to sparkle and glow. People like Beth Greer are going to emergency rooms and finding via MRI’s that they have brain tumors partly due to their use of toxic chemicals to ‘clean’ their homes. This doesn’t need to be you.
There are all kinds of unpronounceable chemical toxins in cleaning fluids, sprays, powders, scrubs, and other products – and these toxins cause what is called “chronic exposure” adding to the body’s toxic burden. These chemicals start to be stored in your tissues because you can’t expel them through normal detoxification pathways fast enough.

- Phosphates – Can cause harmful algae Blooms that contaminate water and are toxic to humans and animals
- Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Dehydrate – Eye, skin, and respiratory irritant, and can also cause kidney damage
- 100’s more. An Environmental Working Group study found that more than 53% of all cleaners studied contained health-harming compounds, many of which created well-known carcinogens like formaldehyde and chloroform.
