The Dirt on Household Cleaning Products

Many people do their heavy cleaning this time year, being that Spring is a time of renewal and all that stuff. So I thought it would be interesting to find the dirt behind "green" cleaning products. As someone who has grown weary of large companies following fads just to gain customers, I found it interesting that Women and the Environment conducted an independent set of tests of so called environmentally friendly cleaning products. According to their tests, many of these products are not green in the true sense. Some ingredients are not even listed and many are harmful to people with asthma. With the growing number of findings suggesting that certain chemicals may be the cause of autism, Kawasaki's disease (cause professional carpet cleaner fumes) and of course asthma, I wonder when these companies are going to wake up and smell the lawsuit। My friend of over 20 years has a child with both autism and down syndrome, if we knew more of the ugly truth behind autism, she might not be locked in a sometimes sensory deprived/overloaded world। I have a feeling that ugly truth could be in our kitchen cabinets under the sink। Check it out। At least one of the company's results will probably surprise you.http://www.womenandenvironment.org/newsreports/media/News%20Item%202008/news_item.2008-10-21.8348650556/view?searchterm=dirt
