Valentines Day isn’t even here yet and I noticed Easter items in the stores. That made me think of Spring cleaning, and all the chemicals we will be exposing ourselves and our precious little ones to.
If I had known then what I know now I would have handled it very differently as I do now. Thought I had allergies along with the children, that no longer happens, but I no longer use the harsh chemicals that I once thought to be safe.
Some of our cleaners contain 2-butoxyetanol those are window cleaners, carpet cleaners, tub and tile cleaners and all purpose cleaners etc. Long term use this chemical can be linked to cancer, liver damage, kidney damage and can affect the reproductive organs.
Formaldehyde can be found in air fresheners, carpet shampoo, carpet stain remover, deodorant, dishwashing liquids, make-up, perfume, and fabric softener which stays in your clothes and against your skin and you inhale it all day.
Read those labels protect yourself and your family make educated choices not those imposed on us by those catchy commercials. I am attaching one of many links that you can look up to see what is in the products you are using. Keep in mind we might be using several of them in one day.
Remember just because they sell it, doesn’t mean its safe….
