What do YOU know about Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether? This chemical is commonly found in today's cleaners, including Clorox Clean-up with Bleach. It has quite a history behind it. The 1989 Exxon Valdez Oil Spill was cleaned up using this chemical, which resulted in hundreds of workers being seriously affected by their exposure. This chemical delivers a hard punch to many aspects of our health including cardiovascular, kidney, and central nervous systems, as well as causing developmental, endocrine, gastrointestinal, and respiratory problems. When choosing a household cleaner do your research! Think of yourself, your children, and your pets - cleaning your bathtub today may affect you negatively tomorrow! Remember, disclosure of these harmful chemicals may not be required by law; choose green products that you can trust.
