You must have read several times that our household normally has 62 different kinds of chemicals which are used on everyday basis when you clean your house and multiple surfaces.

Heard of Phthalates?

Where are how? Many fragranced household products, such as air fresheners, dish soap, even toilet paper. Because of proprietary laws, companies don’t have to disclose what’s in their scents, so you won’t find phthalates on a label. If you see the word “fragrance” on a label, there’s a good chance phthalates are present.

Phthalates are known for endocrine disruption. Men with higher phthalate compounds in their blood had correspondingly reduced sperm counts, according to a 2003 study conducted by researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Harvard School of Public Health. Although exposure to phthalates mainly occurs through inhalation, it can also happen through skin contact with scented soaps, which is a significant problem, warns Alicia Stanton, MD, coauthor of Hormone Harmony. Unlike the digestive system, the skin has no safeguards against toxins. Absorbed chemicals go straight to organs.

So what can you do? Choose natural essential oiled, fragrance-free or all-natural organic products. Bypass aerosol or plug-in air fresheners and instead using essential oils with diffusers or simply opening windows to freshen the air. Besides causing more serious effects like endocrine disruption, Aerosol sprays and air fresheners can be migraine and asthma triggers, You can add more air purifying plants like the snake plant as they’re natural air purifiers.

One very widely used product is the dishwash bar or gel at home and it all mostly contains Triclosan which is an aggressive antibacterial agent that can promote the growth of drug-resistant bacteria. So stick to natural or mild liquid like the ones made from baking soda or vinegar based.

It not only takes of your hands , it makes sure you don't up eating off the chemicals from the washed plates in your own home.

One more common toxic suBstance found in most home multipurpose cleaner is Butoxyethanol. What is it ?

2-butoxyethanol is the key ingredient in many window cleaners and gives them their characteristic sweet smell. It belongs in the category of “glycol ethers,” a set of powerful solvents that don’t mess around. If you’re cleaning at home in a confined area, like an unventilated bathroom, you can actually end up getting 2-butoxyethanol in the air at levels that are higher than recommended safety standards.
