What are green cleaners and how are they different from regular cleaning supplies?
• “Green cleaners” are those which are healthier alternatives to cleaners with toxic chemicals. Many household cleaners contain chemicals, some of which are toxic. It can be tricky while shopping to determine which cleaners are better for you. Just because a cleaner is marketed as “green” or “natural” does not mean that it does not contain harmful chemicals. It is important to look for warning words on cleaners such as “caution,” “warning” or “poison.” These chemicals may cause short-term health problems like skin and eye irritation when you use them or they may have long-term health impacts. Some cleaning products are known carcinogens and contain chemicals which may trigger or cause asthma and reproductive harm.
