It is time for a spring clean. As we get ready to detox our house and environment, we lean on our cleaning products to help us do so. However, many household cleaning products pose serious health threats and envi- ronmental consequences. Many harmful chemicals in household cleaning products can disrupt our immune and endocrine system and also harm our water and air. Some of the most dangerous chemicals currently used in home cleaning products include 1,4-Dioxane, chlorine bleach, antibacterial products, formaldehyde, ammonia, 2-Butoxyethanol, flammable ingredients and fragrance. It is best if you avoid cleaning products that contain these ingredients. Even products advertised as green or natural may contain ingredients that can cause health problems.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, there are some all-natural products on the market that don’t contain the ingredients mentioned above. And if you want to take things a step further you can also create your own cleaning products. It’s easier than you might think. Here are a few basic recipes for cleaning products for a proper spring cleaning.<\/p>\n
