That’s why eco-friendly cleaning isn’t just trendy — it’s essential. Non-toxic solutions keep your home clean without exposing loved ones to unnecessary risks.

Why Kids and Pets Are More Vulnerable

• Closer to surfaces: Babies crawl, toddlers explore countertops, and pets nap on the floor.
• Faster absorption: Developing lungs and skin absorb chemicals at higher rates.
• Immature systems: Children’s immune and respiratory systems are still developing.

Common Household Cleaners to Avoid

• Ammonia — harsh on eyes and lungs
• Chlorine bleach — effective but irritating to skin and airways
• Phenols — present in some disinfectants; toxic to pets
• Synthetic fragrances — may contain phthalates that disrupt hormones
• Formaldehyde — linked to long-term health concerns

Non-Toxic Alternatives That Work

• Vinegar & water: Natural disinfectant for windows, counters, and bathrooms
• Baking soda: Gentle scrub for sinks, tubs, and stovetops
• Castile soap: Plant-based multipurpose cleaner
• Essential oils: Antibacterial boost and light natural fragrance (e.g., tea tree, lavender)
• Microfiber cloths: Trap dust and dirt without chemical sprays
