🗞 The study, published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, investigated home cleaning products, including sprays and other cleaners. The study aimed to find out how cleaners damage the lungs and impair function.
The researchers concluded that cleaning products’ irritating ingredients cause damage through different avenues, including:
✔️ Triggering immune system dysfunction
✔️ Setting off inflammation in mucous membranes
✔️ Damage to the airways on the cell, structural and tissue level
The study linking cleaner use to cigarette lung damage should certainly give you pause 🤔 💭.
But there are dozens and dozens of other peer-reviewed, published studies outlining how harmful cleaning products impact our bodies ⚠️.
Perhaps the scariest part? Cleaner manufacturers don’t have to disclose all of the ingredients in products 🤯. And we just don’t know what health effects stem from the way all of these questionable ingredients mix with each other.
No one should be risking their health with these products. You’re better off just using water.. Or pick truly green companies like pure haven that don’t compromise and won’t trade your safety for a quick buck like most other greenwashed brands do i.e. ECOs, Mrs. Meyers, Method, Seventh Generation, etc.
