"That's the power of Pine-Sol, Baby"

Many common disinfectants out there contain phenols-caustic, poisonous
and dangerous compounds that are used to cover smells. And they're
used in everything from all-purpose cleaning sprays to toilet bowl
cleaners.

Phenol is toxic and sensitive people could experience serious side
effects or even death. This rapidly absorbed chemical can cause
toxicity throughout the entire body. Typically, death and severe
toxicity result from phenol's effects on the central nervous system,
heart, blood vessels, lungs and kidneys.



Other symptoms of exposure include:

* Shock
* Delirium
* Coma
* Pulmonary distress
* Phenolic breath
* Scanty/dark urine
* Severe burns and numbness if exposed to the skin
* Death

Further studies have shown that these compounds can cause:

* Damage to respiratory and circulatory systems
* Cardiac damage
* Major damage to the liver, kidneys and eyes after chronic
exposure
* Respiratory problems and pneumonia in rats, mice, and guinea
pigs
* Nonyl phenol ethoxylate, a common ingredient in laundry
detergents and all-purpose cleaners, is banned in Europe, and
biodegrades slowly into even more toxic compounds

Some commonly used household products that contain phenols include:

* Household detergents
o Lysol
o Pine-Sol
o Spic-n-Span
* Acne medications
* Baking Powder
* Mouthwash
* Sugar substitutes

So when it comes to keeping your home clean, a good rule of thumb to
remember is: If something SMELLS clean, then it is most likely toxic.
Most people are fooled by the "smells clean" factor in chemical
cleaners; however, the truth is that what is ACTUALLY CLEAN is
ODORLESS.

You wouldn't let your kids play with toxic chemicals. Why then would
you let the baby crawl on a floor that's been wiped with them? Toxic
chemicals from cleaning products get absorbed directly into a child's
bloodstream. Think before you clean
