The dirty truth about your household cleaners
Real talk: Most commercial cleaning products are full of super nasty,
get-that-away-from-me ingredients. We know—it’s a total bummer!
No stress though; just as we helped you kick your toxic makeup to the curb,
we’ll walk you through why and how you can stop settling and start
choosing home-cleaning superstars.
Read on for the whole truth and nothing but the truth about your household
cleaning products.
How toxic are my household cleaners?
At the risk of being the bearer of bad news, your run-of-the-mill cleaners are
incredibly toxic.
According to the American Lung Association, the ingredients in most
commercial solutions, sprays, and scrubs can:
• Be air pollutants
• Be harmful chemicals
• Be flammable or corrosive
• Irritate eyes or throat
• Cause headaches
• Contribute to health problems like chronic respiratory problems
and allergic reactions
Not only are these ingredients problematic, but they’re pretty far from
your “let’s go green!” goals. Choosing cleaners with naturally derived
ingredients is a win for you and a win for Mother Earth.
Yikes! Anything else I need to know?
Unfortunately, yes.
Brace yourself—manufacturers aren’t even legally required to list all
ingredients. It sounds bonkers, but toxic ingredients could be lingering
in your laundry detergents and floor cleaners without you knowing about it.
For example, some products such as carpet cleaners and dishwasher liquid
release VOCs—volatile organic compounds. Experts say that some VOCs can
irritate eyes, nose, and throat; create difficulty breathing and nausea; and cause
harm to the central nervous system and other organs.
At Young Living, we’re incredibly meticulous about which ingredients we bring
into the YL family. Want a list of stuff we will never, ever, ever mix with pure
and precious essential oils? Enjoy!
That’s awesome! How do I clean without harsh chemicals?
For starters, trust us and don’t use any of the ingredients linked above.
The simplest way to get the job done—check the labels. Products
can be greenwashed, meaning they have packaging that advertises
as “green” or “natural” but sneak unwelcome ingredients into their
formulas. Yuck!
It’s also important to remember that these issues don’t solely apply
to the cleaning aisle. When shopping for candles and air fresheners,
avoid these factory-crafted temptations. Instead, mix and match
essential oils and diffuse them for personal, unique household aromas.
Ultimately, if you can find companies and products with the mission to use
from-the-earth, not-harmful, naturally derived ingredients, you’re golden.
