Decades of research have revealed the hidden dangers lurking in conventional cleaning products. We made the switch to safer alternatives because your family deserves better.
Peer-reviewed studies from leading scientific journals reveal concerning findings about conventional cleaning products and their impact on human health.
Recent scientific studies have uncovered alarming truths about the products many families use daily. Common household cleaners contain hundreds of volatile chemicals—including 193 classified as hazardous—that can linger in your home's air long after cleaning. These chemicals have been linked to increased asthma risk, respiratory problems, and even cancer. The good news? Green cleaning products emit nearly 8 times fewer toxic compounds and contain significantly fewer hazardous ingredients. By choosing plant-based, non-toxic alternatives like Method, we're not just cleaning your home—we're protecting your family's health and creating a safer living environment.
A 2023 study published in Chemosphere tested 30 common cleaning products and detected 530 unique volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Of these, 193 were classified as hazardous with potential to cause respiratory damage, elevated cancer risk, and developmental concerns.
A comprehensive 2024 review in Environment International found that both occupational and residential exposure to cleaning products increases the risk of asthma and asthma-like symptoms. Cleaning sprays, chlorine bleach, and disinfectants showed the strongest associations with respiratory effects.
Research published in the International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health identified fragrances, glycol ethers, and ethanolamines as frequently used substances in cleaning products. These compounds are linked to skin irritation, respiratory sensitization, and potential endocrine disruption.
The same Chemosphere study found that fragrance-free green products emitted nearly eight times fewer VOCs than conventional cleaners. Green products averaged just 4 hazardous chemicals compared to 22 in conventional products, suggesting safer alternatives do exist.
Research from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory shows that VOCs from cleaning products can remain airborne for extended periods after use, exposing household members to potential toxins long after cleaning is complete. This is particularly concerning for children, elderly, and those with respiratory conditions.
A 2018 study estimated that half of the VOCs contributing to outdoor air pollution come from consumer products, including cleaning supplies. These emissions contribute to smog formation and broader environmental degradation. Choosing plant-based alternatives reduces both indoor and outdoor pollution.
After extensive research, we selected Method as our primary cleaning partner. Their plant-based formulas deliver powerful cleaning without the harmful chemicals found in conventional products. Plus, every bottle is made from 100% recycled plastic.
