Laundry Care Products are made from vegetable based ingredients – not petroleum!
Ingredients for traditional detergents come from the petrochemical industry (the
same non-renewable resources used to make gasoline). The detergents can contain
suspected carcinogens, and ingredients that do not fully biodegrade. They may
contain things like chlorine bleaches, optical brighteners, powdered enzymes and
synthetic fragrances or dyes (even in some of the so-called “fragrance-free”
brands). Some detergents may contain even nastier ingredients like ammonia,
ethanol, napthalene and phenol.
Detergent residues on clothes and bed linens can be a source of skin irritation and lingering scents from these products can cause respiratory illness and other allergic reactions. Here’s a little known fact: Petroleum-based detergents cause more household poisonings than any other household product, when ingested by children.
Produce Wash
Wash fruits and veggies, even organic, with more than just water.
Each year, far more people are
sickened by (contaminated) fruit and vegetables than by beef and poultry
combined.” Strange Fruit by Lori Miller Kase, Self, June 2004.
You are what you eat! These famous words were never more important than today. Strong evidence suggests that the amount of toxins in and on our food is increasing. Most pesticide residue can’t be removed with water alone. Pesticides are water-resistant so they won’t get washed away by rain or tap water. Even organic produce is not immune. It can be exposed to everything from contaminated rain or irrigation water, animal feces, fertilizers or bacteria from human contact.
Household Cleaning
Which household
products likely contain carcinogens (cancer-causing agents)?
“In the 1930s, 1 in 10 Canadians could expect to develop cancer over their lifetime. By the 1970s that number had risen to 1 in 5.”The CancerSmart Consumer Guide, LEAS, 2004
“In the next generation, one in
two Canadians will be diagnosed with Cancer. One in two!” Canadian Cancer
Society CBC MARKETPLACE Chasing The Cancer Answer Broadcast: March 5, 2006
Very simply, a carcinogen is a substance that can cause cancer. In the1960s, the UN-based International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) began to study a vast number of chemicals and list those found to be carcinogens. The chart on below shows a few of the chemicals identified by IARC as potential hazards, along with the products in your home where you are likely to find them. Use this list to eliminate or at least reduce your exposure to these chemicals.

Traditional Products |
Chemical Name | Health Concern |
| Plug-in air fresheners | Formaldehyde | A carcinogen. Forms when it comes in contact with an electronic air cleaner or excess ozone in your home |
| Powdered Cleansers | Silica (finely ground quartz) | A carcinogen (when in powder / dust form) |
| Powdered Laundry Detergents | NTA (Trisodium Nitrilotriacetate) | Possible carcinogen (Environmentally harmful substitute for phosphates) |
| Spray Cleaners, Degreasers, Laundry Detergents, Carpet Stain Removers | NPE (Ethoxilated Nonylphenols) | Disrupts the action of hormones in our bodies |
| Window / Glass Cleaners, All Purpose Cleaners, Spot Removers, Silver & Jewellery Polish | Ethylene

Dish Care
Most dishwashing
liquids contain synthetic detergents, coal tar based colours, and artificial
fragrances. They may even contain Quarternium 15, an eye and skin irritant which
can release carcinogenic (cancer causing) formaldehyde. Many dyes used are known
to be carcinogenic and they can both penetrate the skin and be left behind on
your dishes. Traditional dish liquids are made from petroleum-based raw
materials. The same stuff that is used to make heating oil!
natureclean® Dish Care
products are made from vegetable based ingredients – not petroleum!
Personal Care
Companies using harsh
chemicals in their products aren't looking out for your welfare ... it just got
personal!
The wonderful part about bringing all natural alternatives to consumers is that
we get to feel good about what we do.
More than 5,000 ingredients are allowed for use in traditional personal care
products. Many of which have been identified by Government Agencies as
hazardous.
Our goal is to help you reduce or eliminate your exposure to these toxic
chemicals. After all, these are products we come in contact with everyday.
Nature Clean®'s Commitment to you:
We understand your desire to make the healthiest choices for you and your family. There are 3 ways that chemicals can enter our bodies:
(1) Inhalation; (2) Absorption through skin; (3) Ingestion. Our total exposure during our lives can result in either acute (immediate) or chronic (longer term) health issues. Many experts have seen a connection between the toxic chemicals traditionally used in household cleaning products and the following illnesses:
Asthma, Cancer, Cardiac Damage, Chemical Sensitivity, Respiratory Tract Infection, Liver & Kidney Damage, Nervous System Damage, and Severe Allergies with symptoms like headaches, burning eyes, skin rashes, runny nose, and fatigue.
We offer full disclosure of each ingredient on every label. Other companies, including many that offer “green products” won’t give full chemical names so you’ll never know what’s really in the products you’re using. Nature Clean® is guaranteed Free of these, and many other, suspected carcinogens (Cancer causing agents), toxic or environmentally harmful chemicals:
Ammonia / Benzene / Chlorine
/ Cocamide DEA / EDTA / Ethyleneglycol / Formaldehyde / Hydrochloric Acid / LAS
/ Mineral Spirits Nonyl-phenols / NTA / Optical Brighteners / Petroleum based
chemicals / Phosphates / Propylene Glycol Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) /
Synthetic Perfumes and Dyes

environmentally safe alternatives for Household Cleaning, Laundry and Personal
Care products. Ours is a 100% Canadian, 3rd generation, family run company,
dedicated to providing safer consumer household products for over four decades.
