WHY “GREEN” CLEANING?
Many of us were raised with cleaning products that contain innumerable amounts of toxins. Growing up, questions regarding the toxicity and the hazards of chemicals within the environment were altogether over looked. Today, however, evidence shows that what we put in our home - and what we use to clean our home - is just as important as what we put inside our bodies. In fact, the products that we use within our homes enter into our bodies via the air we breathe, through our skin, and through the water we drink.
17,000: the number of petrochemicals available for home use, only 30 percent of which have been tested for exposure to human health and the environment.
63: the number of synthetic chemical products found in the average American home, translating to roughly 10 gallons of harmful chemicals.
100: the number of times higher that indoor air pollution levels can be above outdoor air pollution levels, according to US EPA estimates.
275: the number of active ingredients in antimicrobials that the EPA classifies as pesticides because they are designed to kill microbes.
5 billion: the number of pounds of chemicals that the institutional cleaning industry uses each year.
23: the average gallons of chemicals (that's 87 liters) that a janitor uses each year, 25 percent of which are hazardous.
5 million: the number of household product poisonings reported, most of them involving children.
With all these chemicals, it’s no wonder that the EPA found the air quality in our homes to be 5 times to 10 times more toxic than the air outside, and typically contaminated by anywhere from 20 to 150 different pollutants. Much of this pollution comes from petrochemical cleaners.
Want to learn more about the potential hazards related to the cleaning products you are currently using?
If you would like to find out about some of the chemicals in the cleaning products you use, www.scorecard.org provides ‘chemical profiles’ that allow you to type in the name of a chemical (just look on the ingredient list of a cleaning product to find one) and find out the health hazards associated with it. Household bleach, for example, is a neurotoxicant and blood toxicant.
Unfortunately, many commonly used cleaning products contain many toxic ingredients. If you are not using a 100% natural product, you are probably using dangerous chemicals. Be aware of products that do not disclose all of their ingredients.
Products that do not openly disclose all of their ingredients usually have something to hide. The words 'organic', 'non-toxic', and 'eco-safe' do not always mean the product is natural - or completely safe. On personal care and household products, the labels 'organic', 'non-toxic', and 'eco-safe' are not regulated by the FDA or USDA - this means that companies can use these terms even if their product is toxic and un-natural. Look for products that have nothing to hide and products that openly disclose all of their ingredients. If you can't pronounce it, it probably isn't natural. Some products that use a ‘natural’ label, such as Ms Meyers, Simple Green and Method, contain artificial fragrances, and other chemicals, and are NOT natural products (see below for a list of products that ARE 100% natural and safe).
