Product #1: Seventh Generation Lemon Dish Soap
The label on this dish soap advertises being non-toxic, so my expectation was that this product would not be too harmful, which is the case. It is a minimal eye and skin irritant, and has no known health hazards or carcinogens. I'm glad to know this since dish soap is something I use everyday- it comes in contact with not only my hands but the utensils/dishes that I eat with.
Product #2: Swiffer Wet Floor Wipes w/ Mop
I was more nervous to find out what was in these, especially since they have such a strong fragrance and are a powerful cleaner. However, it is non-toxic and a non carcinogen, yet may have acute health effects especially in regards to ingestion and skin irritation of dry skin. The ingredient is almost all water, which was surprising but makes sense, with the addition of some preservatives and ethers.
Hi Angela!
ReplyDeleteI did this blog after doing the personal care products and I too was nervous to find what was in them. I literally went through 5 cleaning products looking for a "high" score but they all scored a 1. I thought right away how boring because my personal care products scored higher and these cleaning products are killing something and they are a boring 1 score. lol.
Hey Angela,
ReplyDeleteGood thing you also found out that your household products/cleaners were safe to use and non-toxic so that you don't have to throw them out and buy something safer! I was also thinking that the swiffer wipes would be toxic, but glad they're not!
