6 cancer-causing items hiding in your home (slideshow)
6. Cleaning products
Ironically, the items you’re using to clean your home could be the biggest source of cancer-causing pollutants. Unless you’re going out of your way to buy or make natural cleaners, your dish soap may contain phthalates, your carpet and upholstery cleaners probably contain perchlorethylene (PERC), your hand soap probably contains triclosan, your dryer sheets probably contain quarternary ammonium compounds and your multipurpose or window cleaners probably contain 2-butoxyethanol. All of these have been linked to health problems of some kind or another, including cancer.
So what’s the best way to keep your house clean without sacrificing your health? There are a lot of non-toxic cleaners on the market nowadays. Or you can turn to a time-tested natural cleaner that you probably have on-hand right now… vinegar.
