1️⃣ The health effects of “invisible chemicals” in cleaning agents
Many commercially available cleaning products contain artificial fragrances, highly irritating surfactants, antibacterial agents and other chemical ingredients. These chemicals may cause the following problems:
❌Skin irritation & allergy :
Commonly found in thickeners, artificial flavors, and preservatives , these ingredients will remain on the skin, especially for patients with sensitive skin and atopic dermatitis, which may cause redness, dryness, and even damage to the skin barrier.
❌Respiratory problems :
VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in cleaning agents can affect air quality. Long-term inhalation may cause headaches, allergies, and even affect lung health, especially for infants and families with pets.
❌Endocrine disruption :
Some detergents contain parabens and phthalates , which may disrupt the endocrine system, affect reproductive health, and are even believed to be related to hormonal imbalance.
2️⃣ Is the cleaning residue really “clean”?
You think you have cleaned it thoroughly, but in fact many chemicals still remain on the items you touch every day!
🛑Dishwashing detergent residue on dishes → It cannot be completely removed by rinsing with ordinary water. The residual surfactant will enter the mouth with food.
🛑Detergent residue on clothes → Prolonged contact with skin may cause redness, swelling, and itching, especially affecting infants and people with sensitive skin.
🛑Detergent residue on the table and toys → Children may touch them with their hands and put them in their mouths, and may unknowingly ingest harmful substances.
💡Solution : Choose products without thickeners, low residue, and easier to rinse to avoid residue on skin, dishes, and clothing , reducing the risk of chemical accumulation . It is more suitable for people with sensitive skin, infants and young children, and atopic dermatitis .
3️⃣ Over-cleaning may make you more susceptible to illness!
Excessive use of antibacterial hand sanitizers and strong disinfectants may actually reduce our immunity and make us lose our adaptability to bacteria in the environment.
🛑Excessive sterilization = damage to the skin barrier → The good bacteria on the skin of the hands will also be killed, causing dryness, cracking, and even more susceptible to infection.
🛑Risk of antimicrobial resistance → Long-term use of antimicrobial ingredients (such as triclosan) may cause bacteria to develop resistance, making it more difficult to treat infections in the future.
🛑Excessive disinfection of infants and young children may affect immune development → Studies have shown that moderate exposure to bacteria in the natural environment helps build a healthy immune system.
💡Solution : Daily cleaning ≠ disinfection . Choose natural, harmless, and gentle cleaning products to return cleaning to true "health"!
