Conventional Cleaning Vs. Green Cleaning
Does it really make a difference?
Harmful Effects of Chemical Cleaners
The drive for instant cleaning solutions for busy families and businesses has increased the use of strong chemicals in cleaning products, but without due consideration being given to the long term effects of such chemicals in our daily lives.
Health Effects:
Medical research shows that statistical increases in asthma, related breathing problems, skin irritation, even cancer, indicate that we are using too many strong chemicals in our homes and businesses. Ironically, a large number of these toxic chemicals are found in cleaning products that are advertised as giving us a germ-free environment.
In the last decade, the incidence of asthma in men has increased 29%, and in women that rise is 82% due in part to larger fat reserves in the female body, where toxins are stored, and also to longer exposure to chemicals because women carry out more household tasks involving cleaning materials.
The Effects on Children:
Children are especially at risk from absorption of harmful chemicals used in cleaning products. Small children rub their toys over carpets and floors cleaned with toxic products, handle their toys, and put them in their mouths. Add to that normal behavior the fact that a child's respiratory rate is three times that of an adult, and you can see that use of harmful chemical products in the home is an undesirable practice.
Without doubt, the main culprits are aerosols, which discharge cleaning products into the air. The maxim 'if you can't eat it, don't breathe it …' is certainly appropriate, and you should consider using an alternative to any product that demands use only in a ventilated space.

Dangers of Bleach:
Accidental swallowing of bleach is the most frequently received call at Poison Control Centers involving children under the age of six. Young tender hands and lips can also suffer serious burns. Not to mention the respiratory and eye irritation they cause adults and children alike..
If bleach can do such damage, and is so predominately a factor in the accidental poisoning of young children, why keep it around?
There are many natural, safe alternatives. -The Naturally Clean Home by Karyn Siegel-Maier
