Cleaning your home is an everyday task that you just can’t avoid. However, cleaning can be harmful to your health and harmful to the health of your family. Have you ever thought about how much you fill your home with unnecessary chemicals? What makes cleaning products dangerous? Is it possible to clean safely yet effectively? Let’s take a look at the dangers of conventional cleaning and a better way to clean your home that is so safe that your kids can actually help!
The Dangers
One of the scariest things about household chemicals is we don’t really know what is in them and how it can effect our health. The information just isn’t available. The National Research Council states that “No toxic information is available for more than 80% of the chemicals in everyday use products.” Why is that? The Environmental Working Group found that only 7 percent of household cleaners disclosed all their contents. This organization studied tons of cleaners and found lung-harming ingredients in 53 percent. Even cleaners labeled as “green” can still have harmful chemicals in them.
Here is a scary statistic –“Women who work at home have a 54% higher death rate from cancer than women working away from the home.” The study found that household chemicals were directly linked to this alarming result. We are poisoning ourselves and our families and we don’t even give it a second thought. Just because there are countless bottles of cleaning products on the shelves of our local grocery and superstores, we assume they are safe. However, they are not. If you use chemical cleaners, you are leaving a residue on any surface cleaned with those chemicals. You kiddos touch those surfaces, eat off those surfaces, crawl, sit, and play on those surfaces.
All this sounds scary because it is. However, bacteria is also scary and can make your family just as sick. The dangers of bacteria are well documented. The question is, how can you eliminate bacteria from the surfaces in your home without covering everything in dangerous mystery chemicals? Dust is also harmful, causing allergies, breathing problems, and it can be carcinogenic not to mention it is unslightly. Can you dust without an aerosol dusting spray?
The Safe Way To Clean with Cleaning Cloths
You can make a change for the better in your home. You can clean without dangerous chemicals and your house will actually be cleaner, making your family safer from germs and harmful chemicals. Put the bottle of toxic spray down and let’s chat about cleaning safely!
e-cloth is a chemical free way to clean that is scientifically proven to be effective. Here is how it works:
This is more than a microfiber cloth. Cleaning cloths from e-cloth use superior fiber composition, fiber size, fiber processing, and and fiber density to allow you to clean and remove bacteria from your home safely. This microfiber technology belongs to e-cloth and e-cloth alone. There are millions of tiny fibers in every e-cloth cleaning cloth, the highest density of fibers in any cloth in the world. e-cloth is scientifically proven to remove 99 percent of bacteria.
e-cloth cleaning cloths are reuabable and washable. This makes cleaning with e-cloth the most environmentally friendly way to clean your home! After cleaning with an e-cloth towel or wipe, rinse with hot water or just toss it in the washing machine. Use them over and over. Quit throwing away money on paper towels and costly cleaning chemicals that are bad for you, your children, and our planet.
Parents rejoice! Because of the super safe cleaning power of just e-cloth and water, your kids can help and you don’t have to worry about their health.
