The Danger of Household Chemicals

Click to go to our Home Page


The Consumer Product Safety Commission has listed 150 chemicals that are commonly found in the home, that have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer and psychological abnormalities¹, as well as other chronic health problems such as asthma. I've also found out that more children under age four die from accidental household poisonings at home than are accidentally killed with guns at home². The number one cause of accidental poisonings in children is Dawn Dish Soap, which is the most popular brand on the market. Did you know that Tide contains lye? How about that Formula 409 is considered a legal pesticide? Or that Lysol contains phenols, which are caustic, and dioxin (better known as Agent Orange)? Even our personal hygiene products and cosmetics can contain chemicals such as formaldehyde and phenols.

It has been proven that hydrogen peroxide used in a spray bottle and in conjunction with vinegar also used in a separate spray bottle and then sprayed on one or the other is ten-times more powerful than any commercial household germicide.
