How are you cleaning your home?

Constantly inhaling chemicals is certainly not the healthiest thing! Many household cleaning supplies and products can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and have allergy like affects on respiratory tracts and lungs. Prolonged exposure can cause other health problems including respiratory illness and even cancer[1]. According to the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, ‘women cleaning at home or working as occupational cleaners have a significant risk of decline in lung function’[2].
“The use of cleaning products in spray form facilitates inhalation, and sprays may contribute to the burden of asthma in adults who do the cleaning in their homes.” [3]
