Did you know that the products you use to clean your house can be affecting your indoor air quality? Many common household cleaners contain harmful chemicals that can cause respiratory problems and other health issues. In this blog post, Hedrick's Service Now will discuss some of the most dangerous cleaners and how to avoid them. Stay safe and healthy by using natural alternatives instead!
Multipurpose Sprays
Multipurpose sprays are a common type of household cleaner that can be bad for your indoor air quality. Many of these sprays contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can cause respiratory problems and other health issues. It is best to use natural alternatives to multipurpose sprays, such as distilled water and essential oils.
Air Fresheners
Air fresheners are another common household cleaner that can be damaging to your health. Many air fresheners contain harmful chemicals, such as VOCs, phthalates, and formaldehyde. Instead of using air fresheners, try some other alternatives such as essential oils or plants.
Chemical Drain Cleaners
Chemical drain cleaners can also be bad for your indoor air quality. Many of these cleaners contain harmful chemicals, such as lye and sulfuric acid. Not only are these chemicals bad for your health, but they are also highly corrosive. It is best to avoid chemical drain cleaners and use solutions such as baking soda and vinegar.
Ammonia
Ammonia is another toxic household cleaner that can be damaging to your health. Ammonia is a toxic gas that can cause serious health issues, depending on the severity of exposure. Some natural, healthier alternatives to ammonia include lemon juice and vinegar.
These are just some of the most common household cleaners that can be bad for your indoor air quality. Be sure to avoid these cleaners and use natural alternatives instead.
