EWG is now compiling a list of common household cleaners (2000 products / 200 brands) that are toxic to our humans! If these are toxic to our humans then you know who gets the toxins next, or first, it's us pets!
Now here's the kicker..... There are even so-called “green” products that hide hazardous ingredients! We've known about some of these products but did you know that among the worst offenders are:
- Mop & Glo Multi-Surface Floor Cleaner contains DEGME which can damage the unborn child...
- Tarn-X tarnish remover contains up to 7 percent thiourea which can...
- Simple Green Concentrated All-Purpose Cleaner claims to be “non-toxic” but contains ...
- Mystery mixtures such as Target’s Up & Up and Walmart’s Great Value brands...

Great blog! Stopped by to follow back. Thanks again for joining the hop! :)
While we still use some commercial cleaners, for much of our cleaning we have switched to vinegar and water. After reading this I am so glad I did! Thanks for posting this! I will be interested to see the complete list when it does come out.
Thank you for the heads up!
I agree, we've switched to vinegar and water for most stuff as well. Thank you.
It's not nice to tease! I want to read the whole article now! Thank you for letting us know in advance.
i use lysol wipes on almost everything. I cut back on papee towels, they kill 99.99% bacteria. it bearts the smelly kitchen sponge
I use Clorox kitchen wipes on my counters. Pepper can't reach them, so she isn't exposed to them.
I use lemon juice and vinegar for most of my cleaning. I also use 7th Generation which is a "green cleaner."
Thanks for the heads up, I always worried about all those "green" cleaners.
