The Hidden Truth Behind Detergents

Our environment plays a vital role in everyone’s lives and it is our responsibility to do our share in preserving it. How? By using products that are free of ingredients that pose a threat. There are various household chemicals that we, as consumers, use everyday that harm both ourselves and our environment. Two of the most common are phosphates and chlorine bleach.

THE DANGER OF PHOSPHATES

Phosphates are molecules which, if introduced into our rivers, oceans, lakes and streams, could lead to algae overgrowth. This overgrowth poses a hazard to our ecosystem because when large amounts of algae die they consume massive amounts of oxygen. Which results in the death of the plants and animals that inhabit are waterways. Phosphates have been commonly used in laundry detergents and dishwasher detergents, however, their use in laundry detergents have been outlawed due to this environmental risk. But, on the contrary, they are still a major ingredient in most dishwasher detergents.

WHY ARE PHOSPHATES USED?

Phosphates are used as a water softener and they also make cleansers more effective. Manufacturers use them because they are a cheaper means of making an effective product.

WHAT YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT CHLORINE BLEACH

For years, chlorine bleach has been a common household item. It is found in just about every cleaner on the market. Why? Again, it’s a cheaper way of making an effective cleaning product. But what you don’t know is that when mixed with the hot water from either your dishwasher or washing machine, chlorine fumes are created and released into the air in the form of a mist.

THE DANGER

The fumes emitted by chlorine bleach have been known to cause headaches, fatinge, burning of the eyes and difficulty breathing. How many times have you had to open your window for ventilation while cleaning with products containing chlorine bleach? Well, I can tell you that needed to do so EVERY time I cleaned. The American Association of Poison control reported that during the 1990’s, there were 462,000 cases of accidental poisoning due to chlorine bleach. As a matter of fact, chlorine bleach has been the most common cause of accidental poisoning cases in North America! Scary isn’t it?

Are We Poisoning Our Children?

Warning:Your Household Products May Do More Harm than Good!!!


Hello and thank you for taking the time out to read my latest blog. By doing so, you have expressed an interest in learning about how everyday household items pose a chemical risk to our bodies. We all like to use products that effectively clean and disinfect our homes. What we don't realize is that the chemicals used in these products are actually TOXIC.

Have you noticed that when you are cleaning your home you may often have to open a window becuase the fumes from the cleaners are so strong. I know I have. I often become lightheaded and even nauseous by the time I'm finished cleaning my bathroom! This is because chemicals such as bleach and ammonia are extremely harmful for our nasal passages and if inhaled for even a short period of time will cause these reactions.

Studies have shown that the leading cause of household poisonings among children are due to the ingestion of household cleaning products. It is important to know that there are safer alternatives out there. It is equally important that we provide a safer environment in our homes for ourselves and our families. You may ask yourself "Well how do I do this?". The answer is by using eco friendly products. By eco friendly I mean products that do not contain harmful toxins that are found in leading brand products. Products in which alternative ingredients are used that do not harm the environment or our bodies.

When I first decided to work from home I had no idea as to what type of business I wanted to take part of. It wasn't until I viewed a presentation by Four Point Wellness that I decided to work for a company that had a cause. This cause is to inform and promote awareness that we are all using unsafe products on a daily basis. We endores a company that has been in business for over 20 years and are an Inc. 500 company. Our company promotes products that are eco friendly. Our products range from laundry detergents, cleaning product, snacks, candles, vitamins, toothpaste, first aid, bath & body, make up and so much more. I am proud of the company that I work for and enjoy using their products, which clean just as efficiently as the leading brand but they don't pose a health risk.If you are interrested in obtaining more information about how to make your home a safer one, feel free to contact me at puretorganics.verizon.net.
