Chemicals in Cleaning Products are Toxic
Not long ago, our grandmothers used only one remedy for washing dishes and clothes and that was the well-known soap. Perhaps this is a universal remedy which is not as well managed with its responsibilities. But the damage from it was minimal. Over the years, we gradually got used to the comforts of life and have become more demanding. The powder was used for cleaning of any dirt and detergents for dishes were made not only to cope with the fat, but also to protect your hands from dryness. In fact the quality of household today has become much higher.
Labels powder and other cleaning products are full of intricate "active formula" and other chemical additives that destroy the dirt on the spot. However, along with the dirt, our health is also slowly destroyed. Doctors are sounding the alarm bell and an increase in the number of allergies, skin and respiratory diseases that are directly linked to the chemical additives included in the cleaning products we use. Almost all detergents or washing powders contain special components called surface-active agents or surfactants. Surfactants are actively fighting the mud, literally pulling it out of fabric, but at the same time, they are also the cause of many diseases.
It is noted that the surfactant can accumulate in cell membranes, thus they violate the integrity of the cells, as well as slow down the metabolic processes. In this regard, many scientists believe that the surfactant can cause the accumulation of excess weight, getting rid of which is not so easy. In addition, the detergent powders contain toxic substances such as formaldehyde and chlorine. These substances can cause allergic reactions and respiratory diseases. It is noted that even after the wash harmful chemicals remain on clothes and slowly poison your body. Did you know that in the case of dish washing detergents, the detergent is completely washed out of the dishes?
A certain amount of active ingredients of detergents is delayed in the tiny pores on our plates, mugs and other dishes. Therefore, along with the food you also eat those active ingredients of detergents and quite often harmful chemical products. Just like laundry detergents, dishwashing detergent surfactants include the notorious ingredients. In addition, they include polyphosphates, synthetic dyes, fragrances, propylene glycol and other chemicals, which slowly incapacitate the functioning of our internal organs, in the first place - the gastro-intestinal tract. In cleaning the surfaces, virtually all cleaning agents that are used to clean the surfaces of glasses, mirrors, ceramics including toilets and bath rooms contain a caustic substance, disinfectants and antibacterial components.
Phenolic compounds and krezolnye may provoke gastrointestinal disorders, and kidney disease. In addition, frequent use of disinfectants will eventually lead to the fact that your house will only settle with more and more aggressive microorganisms. And in the window cleaners, there is a toxic alcohol called ‘isopropanol’, which is toxic to the liver, is an irritant to the skin, and harms the gastrointestinal tract, nervous system and kidneys. We should also be aware about aerosols used in the air fresheners in our bathrooms. They contain sodium nitrite and benzoate, which can cause cirrhosis of the liver, Parkinson's and even anemia!
In addition, each injection of aerosol into the atmosphere becomes a contribution to the ongoing process of increasing the ozone holes in the atmosphere. Almost certainly no one will be pleased by the above cleanliness. The question arises: what can we do? Here, incidentally, it is appropriate to once again go back to the basics, and apply the 'old women’s' recipes for maintaining the overall cleanliness in the house. Thank God, the soap is still sold in our markets.
Detergents for washing dishes can be replaced with soap and water. Windows can be simply wiped with a damp cloth, and water stains can be removed in the well-known old-fashioned way - paper or other thin paper. And for washing, you can use natural powders whose composition does not include surfactants and other components that are harmful to the body. A toilet and bath can be cleaned with regular soda.
