Could cleaning your home make you ill? by Kathy Joyce

Cleaning our home is something most of us do each day. From

washing up to cleaning work surfaces in the kitchen.

We also use air fresheners to make our home smell nice and

fresh, getting rid of any stale odours.

You probably go to the supermarket and buy your household

cleaning products without giving much thought to it, apart

from maybe the price or if you prefer lemon fresh to pine

fresh!

However have you ever considered some of the toxic and

potentially carcinogenic chemicals that go into many of

these products?

Many people could suffer ill health due to toxic chemicals

present in many products used in the home. These could

range from cleaning products to toiletries.

Fewer than a quarter of the 70,000 chemicals used in

toiletries and cleaning products have been fully tested for

safety, and some classed as hazardous waste are often found

in baby lotions, eye drops and cleaning fluids. Many of

these chemicals accumulate in the human body causing cancer

and other diseases.

Aerosol products such as spray paint and stripper may

contain methylene chloride,a carcinogenic chemical. They

also contain butane which is a propellant. This could cause

asphyxiation if used in an enclosed area in large amounts

Detergents break down the surface tension of water, allowing

other chemicals like surfactants to enter the material or

pores of the item being cleaned. This is very effective in

dislodging dirt and grease, giving a squeaky clean effect!

However residue from these chemicals left on cutlery and

plates even in tiny amounts can still accumulate in the body
