Facts don't lie!!
I wanted to share a few of the ingredients found in the leading cleaning products and why they are so dangerous and harmful:
Phthalates: Phthalates are considered harmful because they are potent endocrine disruptors—chemicals that interfere with the body’s hormone systems. Known as "plasticizers" used to make plastics flexible and durable, they leach into food, dust, and air, leading to chronic exposure. Key risks include reproductive issues (especially in males), developmental delays in children, obesity, diabetes, and certain cancers. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8157593/
2-Butoxyethanol: 2-Butoxyethanol is a solvent found in household cleaners, paints, and degreasers that is considered harmful due to its ability to cause respiratory irritation, severe eye/skin damage, headaches, and vomiting through inhalation or skin contact. High exposure can damage red blood cells (hemolysis), causing anemia and potential liver or kidney harm, while some studies suggest it is a suspected human carcinogen.

Triclosan: Triclosan is considered harmful because it acts as an endocrine disruptor, potentially interfering with thyroid and reproductive hormones, and promotes antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Linked to skin irritation, allergies, and potential liver cell damage in studies, it is also harmful to aquatic environments and persists in the body. https://www.provenskincare.com/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about-triclosan/
