COMMON SIGNS YOUR CURRENT CLEANER IS HARMING YOUR HEALTH? Ever seen these warnings on your favorite cleaning products?

“Use in well-ventilated area” “Avoid direct contact with product” “Excessive inhalation can cause headache, drowsiness, nausea and lack of coordination.” With warnings like these, it’s no wonder Poison Control Centers across the nation field over 200,000 calls each year involving household cleaning substances. Choosing to go natural with whatever cleaning brand you choose, will put your mind at ease, knowing that they contain no caustic chemicals and can be mixed with other cleaners without fear of formation of harmful gases. Household chemicals can affect more than just the person using them. According to the EPA, household chemicals and other factors can make the air within a home more seriously polluted than the air in even the largest and most industrialized cities.(1) Yikes! Did you know that? Many common household cleaners can contain ammonia, phosphates, chlorine, and other known offenders. The Ecosense brand, for instance, contains no ammonia, no phosphates, no chlorine and is made from all natural, biodegradable products. 1.
