For me, I pretty much switched all my cleaning products at the same time, but TILEX was first out the door. When I became more aware of the toxic ingredients in cleaning and laundry products, I picked up the TILEX bottle and it literally said “Do not stay in room while using this product”!
Yeah…read that last statement again and then think about it.
Interestingly enough, in 2015 and then again in 2019, Clorox amended the label to sound not so scary. It now says:
“Wash hands and any exposed skin thoroughly after handling. Wear eye protection/face protection such as safety glasses. IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes.”
We take warning labels for granted.
Did you know that TIDE and grocery store laundry detergents have an ingredient called 1.4 Dioxane, which is a known carcinogen? It’s banned in Europe and finally certain states are establishing laws. Unfortunately, all the manufacturers do is “reduce” the amount instead of removing it entirely…like that makes it okay.

What did you ditch? More importantly, what do you NEED to ditch?
