- Most conventional home cleaners contain toxic chemicals such as 1.4 -Dioxane, Caustics and Phosphate. These chemicals are linked to skin and upper respiratory allergies and may lead to serious diseases. They are also suspected of causing damage to the central nervous system, liver, and kidneys. Most significantly they are known carcinogens. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that the air inside our home is more polluted than the air outside.
