Burning Nose Hairs

Cleaning has been an emerging art for me. I grew up in a home that was bursting at the seams with love, laughter, and dust bunnies. We were certainly encouraged to clean and tidy things up, but it wasn't until college age that I began to discover how enjoyable cleaning could be.

But, there was one aspect of cleaning that I never liked: burning nose hairs. Headaches. The need for fresh air. This dimension of cleaning never felt right. And, it should never feel right, because it's completely wrong.

Cleaners have the potential to adversely affect your skin, eyes, and respiratory system. There are 80,000+ chemicals registered with the EPA. Do you know that less than 20% of them have been tested for toxicity?

The University of California at Berkeley affirms that a person who spends 15 minutes cleaning their shower can inhale 3x the "acute one-hour exposure limit". This all seems wrong, doesn't it? Should cleaning our showers really be deemed a danger zone?

Of course, we have to also remember that children are at a much greater risk because of their smaller size. These over-the-counter cleaners that are so easily accessible and inexpensive can lead to issues such as asthma, cancer, kidney and liver damage. The Annual Report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers' (2005) states that bleach alone may cause reproductive, endocrine, and immune system disorders.

We often think of the 90% of poison exposures occurring in the home as a child getting into a cabinet that he shouldn't. But, have we considered that poison exposure can also occur every day as we use cleaning products?
