You think they are your friends—but they are not. You invite them home, give them their own room, even take a shower or wash dishes with them.
You believe they are safe, but are they?
Who are these treacherous scoundrels—these threats to your home and family?
They are everyday grocery store cleaning products—brands you have trusted for years. How did you get fooled so badly?
Here are just four of the potentially dangerous everyday items you may be taking home from your friendly neighborhood grocery store:
1. Chlorine bleach: Words most often used by physicians and scientists to describe this product are “poisonous, toxic, and corrosive.” It can burn your skin, lungs, and eyes. Combined with other common chemicals, it produces a poisonous gas. One of the most common places you’ll find bleach in the home is in dishwasher detergent. Fortunately, Melaleuca’s Diamond Brite® Dishwasher Detergent gives you an effective bleach-free alternative. So if you have bleach in your home, you might ask yourself one question: Why?
2. Disinfectants: Quats or quaternary ammonium compounds, are the most commonly used active ingredients in home-use disinfectants. Quats are eye irritants and require warning label cautions and are poisonous if ingested. Actually—if you would read the cautions on the labels, you probably wouldn’t touch the stuff in the first place. Products such as Melaleuca’s Tub & Tile™ Bathroom Cleaner and Sol-U-Guard® Botanical Disinfectant are excellent alternatives to toxic grocery store products.
3. Glass cleaner: Come on, this can’t be bad for you, can it? From eye and skin irritation to a serious problem if swallowed, this harmless-looking liquid can clean your clock, not just your windows. Most grocery store glass cleaners are fueled by ammonia, a chemical so powerful that even a tiny bit is dangerous. Add ammonia to bleach and you create a lethal gas. Melaleuca’s Clear Power® does the job with vinegar, not ammonia.4. All-purpose cleaners: The idea sounds great: cleans most anything. To do that, though, most of these products combine substances you don’t want your family to smell or touch: ammonia, formaldehyde, chlorine bleach, and others. All-purpose cleaners can be a soup kitchen of toxicity. Melaleuca’s Tough & Tender® is powered by biodegradable cleaning agents and T36-C5® Melaleuca Oil.
Listen: Your family depends upon you to keep them safe, but you can’t depend upon most manufacturers or retailers to help you do that. Today is the day to start a diligent search for products that are safer for your home. Products able to get your toughest cleaning chores done, but without the dangers of toxic chemicals. After all, true friends would never do you harm.

I LOVE these products!!! I really find they work SO MUCH better than the store bought brands. Thank you Melaleuca for making safer, healthier, more envirnmentally friendly cleaning and other product alternatives for us to use.

Since we converted our entire home to Melaleuca’s amazing cleaning products my wife has not had an outbreak of hives or skin irritations!! Safe and affordable!!
WOW. I got the Renew promotional deal for April that has hand wash and body wash …I was out of shaving gel and used the body wash. How incredible! Silky smooth legs and because the Renew products are for dry skin, my legs didn’t need lotion when I got out because they were already moisturized!!! For a person with sensitive dry skin this is awesome! Everything I have purchased I loved! I save money, time, storage space and help the environment. You can’t go wrong with Melaleuca!!
I know many people who, once they got rid of the toxic cleaners in their houses and replaced them with the EcoSense line, have NO MORE MIGRAINES! What a relief for so many sufferers!
Before Melaleuca I would constantly break out in hives, I had no idea what it was from! But since I have switch all my stuuf and my kids bath stuff over to melaleuca I have not broke out once! I am so thankful to have been introduced to a company that not only cares about its customers but cares about out enviorment! THANKS MELALEUCA!
Since we converted our home to Melaleuca products almost 9yrs ago… we’ve had no more er visits for asthma attacks, no more breathing machines at home & no more inhalers! We rarely ever get sick (there are 5 kids in the home)! In fact, my daughter babysat for a neighbor who had cleaned with bleach earlier that day – during the night, I had to take my daughter to the er- found that she had chemical pneumonia! Bleach exposure! Thank YOU Eco-sense for keeping us healthy & safe!
Prior to Melaleuca, I was an un-educated mom when it came to cleaning products. Thankfully, a friend sat down with me and shared Melaleuca! If the smell of bleach did not burn the nostrils when walking into the bathroom, it must not be clean! I was wrong. Sooo… wrong! Thank you, Melaleuca, for providing my family with better, safer products to keep our home healthy and safe! I LOVE to share them with others! I want to help others like my friend helped me!
I LOVE THEM SPECIALLY THEIR GREAT SPECIALS. AND THIS MONTH I CAN HELP OTHERS JOIN FOR $1. WOW CANT BEAT THAT. THANK YOU MELALEUCA
