Air Fresheners - Not so Fresh!
Posted by Paige
Did you know that some air fresheners are actually polluting the air around you? Spraying anti-bacterial and synthetic air fresheners into the air is not the way to go! Traditional air fresheners can contain dangerous ingredients such as dichlorbenzene, naphthalene, and even formaldehyde.
Some candles even pollute your indoor air! Many candles contain paraffin wax which releases carcinogenic soot when burned. On top of that, many candles have heavy metals in their wicks, like lead, to make them sturdier!
These "air-fresheners" actually may lead to respiratory problems and cancer.
The solution? After avoiding paraffin candles and synthetic air-fresheners, try beeswax candles with natural cotton wicks. Beeswax actually burns longer, so your candles will have a longer life as well. And if you are in the market for an air freshener, try the air fresheners developed by Earth Friendly Products. They are made with all natural ingredients and essential oils.
