Scented Cleaning Products.

In the same vein as perfume and air fresheners, most scented cleaning products that are imbued with "spring meadow" or "moonlight breeze" most notably laundry detergent and fabric softeners - rely on synthetic fragrance. And many of those may cause acute effects such as respiratory irritation, headache, sneezing, and watery eyes, just for starters. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health found that more than 30percent of the substances used in the fragrance industry are toxic. But again, they get to be placed under the mystery ingredient of "fragrance" since they are considered trade secrets. What does "moonlight breeze smell like anyway.

Rather than dousing the things you wear in these chemicals and spraying them all around you home, opt for all-natural cleaners or fragrance-free products. And note there is a difference between fragrance-free and unscented. Fragrance-free should indicate that no fragrances have been added, unscented just means it has no scent, sometimes fragrances are added to unscented products to mask the smell of other ingredients.

Antibacterial Soaps.

We have been on the antibacterial-soap soapbox for years and the rest of the world is catching on. A few companies have started to reformulate their products without Triclosan (the most common antibacterial chemical in antibacterial soaps) and Minnesota became the first state to ban it n consumer products for cleaning or sanitizing. Why? Consumer Reports lays it out pretty tidily.

Antibacterial soaps won't help prevent infections caused by viruses.

Antibacterial soaps aren't better than soap and water at preventing even bacterial infections.

Overuse of antibacterial soaps may breed resistant bacteria.

Triclosan may pose other health risks too. It could contribute to infertility, early puberty, obesity and other problems.

Other research hints that children with long exposure to triclosan may be more likely to develop allergies.

Triclosan is so ubiquitous these days, that in one recent study the chemical was detected in the urine of 75 percent of the people tested.

Antibacterial soaps may be harmful to the environment.

We don't need it in our homes, plain old soap and water is a beautiful thing.

Pesticides
Pesticides are meant to kill things. Of course an ant's body is different from the human body, but what's toxic to pests is toxic to humans too. Pesticide exposure has been linked to headaches, nausea, skin irritation. and other symptoms. And a recent study found that children who had been exposed to insecticides indoors were 47 percent more likely to have leukemia and 43 percent more likely to have lymphoma. Other evidence connects home pesticide use with neurological consequences, such as lower IQ and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Look for non-toxic approaches.
