Are You Wearing Toxic Clothes & Sleeping On Toxic Sheets?
If you check your closet right now, how many pieces of wrinkle-free and easy care clothes or bedding would you find? We began eliminating all wrinkle free and easy care items from our life in 2002 once we found out what made them wrinkle free and easy care. It was just not worth it for us to put our health risk once we found out.
They say everything in life comes at a price. We simple choose not to pay that price. We choose to buy quality cotton and iron them when necessary instead. Why such a drastic step? Because we did not want to sleep on or walk around inhaling formaldehyde 24/7. So, just in case you were wondering, here are a few reason why we never went back to anything that say easy-care or wrinkle free on the label.
The united states does not regulate formaldehyde levels in clothes or bedding.
Formaldehyde does not wash out of clothes or sheets once its treated.
Government agency in the United States does not require manufactures to disclose the use of the chemical on labels.
Formaldehyde is used to keeps the fabric’s fibers in place, because without it, the fibers become wrinkled or fade?
Formaldehyde is a human carcinogen as declared by the National Cancer Institute.
In 2011, the National Toxicology Program, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, classified formaldehyde as a known human carcinogen.
Exposure to formaldehyde produces a litany health woes.
There is no law or regulation to disclose to the consumer when formaldehyde is used.
In 1987, the EPA declared formaldehyde as a probable carcinogen.
We know life gets very busy and paying attention to everything can get a bit overwhelming. Some companies are very happy about that. It makes it easy for them to do and get away with things that harm your health. The thing is, while they don’t, care, we at Houston Organic Home Cleaning Service do.
