Toxic Chemicals Harmful Effects

Organochlorines, a version of the pesticide called DDT that is banned in most countries, is now being used in our degreasers. Yes, you heard me; you are now using a form of pesticide to cut through the grease on the same pots, pans and plates that you serve your food on. Not only does this chemical cause cancer, but it also disrupts the endocrine system. The next time you pull out a degreaser, or use a detergent with a degreaser in it, think about what you’re cleaning your dishes with.

How Safe Is Your Home?

Metal Shiners and Cleaners could be killing you

Styrene, the same chemical that is found in floor wax, is not only a known carcinogen and endocrine disruptor; it is also found in most metal shiners and cleaners that you might be using on a regular basis. While you are busy ensuring that your home looks as good as new, the chemicals in the cleaners are affecting you in ways that you might not believe.

Since most products don’t contain a full break down of the chemicals used to manufacture them, you can choose to make use of products that are completely natural instead of exposing yourself and your family to these toxic substances.
