Cleanin Green

Government trade-secret laws protect cleaning-product manufacturers from having to reveal their ingredients.  Scary thought?  It should be.  That means that any number of asthma-inducing, cancer-causing, skin-irritating chemicals can legally be used in your cleaning products and according to the government, you don't need to know about it.  

What "they" use and why we don't

Ammonia - Cuts through grease.  Also known to cause asthma.

Chlorine - Disinfectant.  Lung and skin irritant.  Lethal if ingested.

MEA - Surfectant.  Causes respiratory irritation and asthma.

Glycol ethers - Dissolves soil.  Causes nerve damage when absorbed by the skin.  Has been linked to reduced fertility and lowered sperm counts.

APEs - Surfectants.  Hormone disrupters that act like estrogen in the body.

Phthalates - Used in synthetic fragrances.  Hormone disrupters linked to obesity and hypothyroidism.

Triclosan - Disinfectant used in antibacterial cleaners.  May linger on cleaned surfaces, allowing resistant bacteria to grow.  Also forms the probable human carcinogen chloroform when exposed to chlorinated water.
