There are so many different types of cleaners necessary to ensure you have a spotless home, such as those for the kitchen, bathroom, laundry, mirrors and windows, floors, and more. And there is a good chance you have a cabinet, drawer, or closet somewhere holding a stash of household cleaners that you use regularly.

Here’s a thought to ponder. What if the very household products you are using to keep your home clean from germs and other dangers are actually adding a new type of danger?

Toxic household cleaners can be dangerous for you, your family and children, and your pets. It’s time to find more effective alternatives.

Kitchen Sanitizer Dangers: The ingredients in kitchen cleaners are designed to disinfect countertops, appliances, stove, dishes, and kitchen sink germ-free, but many of these products also produce harmful fumes that we inhale, or if touched directly or from touching a residue buildup on the surfaces previously cleaned. In fact, some sanitizers and cleaners are among the most toxic products found in the home.

In 2000, cleaning products were responsible for nearly 10% of all toxic exposures reported to the U.S. Poison Control Centers, accounting for 205,636 calls, and it’s much worse today.
