The Truth About Laundry
Detergent
How Banned Toxic Chemicals are Still Being Used
Today In Your Laundry Detergent... And What You
Can Do To Never Pay For Laundry Detergent Again,
Have Cleaner Clothes & Amazing Skin...
by Kacper M. Postawski. Natural Activist, New Energy Researcher,
and founder of DetergentTruth.com
Dear friend looking for better health, and a better planet...
Did you know that laundry detergent
companies are not required to list toxic
ingredients on their product labels? These
chemicals, which may not appear on the label, can
interact with your body’s hormones, cause
reproductive harm, induce asthma, and cause
cancer. In addition to the multiple risks they pose
to our health, detergents are polluting our water
with chemicals that impair fish and plant life.
The benefits that you have come to expect from
your store-bought laundry detergent,such as brighter whites, deep cleaning, and a
lingering fresh scent, are actually harming human health and the environment.
While we depend on the government to monitor and control hazardous chemicals, many
consumer products use top-secret patented formulas that contain the very same
chemicals listed as “hazardous” by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

As we become more aware of the dangers posed by commercial products, the
companies are trying to save face by marketing new “natural” products. There is a big
difference between “natural” and “all-natural,” and the people in charge of
advertisement hope that you don’t know the difference. Exploring the individual
ingredients found in laundry detergents will help you make safe, healthy choices for
you, your family, and the environment. And you won’t believe how much money you
can save by using alternatives that are just as effective!
Natural vs. All-Natural
While shopping for cleaning products, you have probably noticed that all of the top
brand products have new labels claiming “natural cleaning power!” So, they must have
switched to safer ingredients, right? Well, they may have added some natural
ingredients to their products, but they did not eliminate all traces of toxicity.
While it is true that the “natural power of baking soda” will cleanse and brighten your
clothing, it will not neutralize the other cancer-causing chemicals that leave a fresh
scent, nor will it need the addition of harmful surfactants (cleaning agents) to clean
your fabrics. Some of the biggest culprits within detergents are chemicals that we often
overlook. The average consumer does not recognize the dangers of a seemingly
harmless ingredient (fragrance), and most of us cannot pronounce the other ingredients
(nonylphenol ethoxylates), let alone know what they do!
Pretty in Petrochemicals
Many of the harmful ingredients found within laundry detergents are petrochemicals,
which are synthetic chemicals made out of petroleum. As political and global conflicts
build1 around our depleted resources, the oil industry has continued producing
petrochemicals for consumer products. But are they really necessary? An in-depth
examination of petrochemicals, such as fragrance, phthalates, artificial colors and NPEs,
offers us every reason to avoid their use.
The Filth within a Clean Scent
When shopping for cleaning products, what is the first thing you look for? After
considering the price, you want to know what it smells like. You may think you are
choosing between spring blossoms and mountain rain, but you might actually be
sniffing formaldehyde and inhaling at least one carcinogen (cancer-causing agent).
If you have ever participated in a science class dissection, you probably remember the
tear-jerking, nostril-flaring scent of formaldehyde (the embalming agent used to
www.DetergentTruth.com

preserve frogs and pigs for dissection). The scent is unforgettable, but cleaning
products use a cocktail of synthetic fragrances that cover up this noxious gas.
The EPA2 reports that formaldehyde causes cancer in animals and may do so in
humans. In addition to severe allergic reactions, this gas can also irritate your
respiratory system and cause nausea. It is nauseating indeed to think of how often we
are exposed to these fumes while doing laundry and wearing clothes that carry the
scent.
The Science Daily News (July 24, 2008) reported3 astonishing findings from a study
conducted by the University of Washington on the toxicity of leading laundry detergents
and air fresheners. All but one of the tested products released at least one carcinogen
that the EPA deems hazardous and unsafe at any level of exposure. All of the tested
products contained chemicals known as “hazardous” and “toxic” by law, but the product
labels did not list any of the offensive ingredients for consumers.
Not only are the fragrances harmful, but the carriers of fragrance (phthalates) show
adverse effects on reproductive health. The Environmental Working Group4 notes that
phthalates cause deformities in the testicles of exposed male animals, while Women’s
Voices for the Earth5 reports that phthalates may harm male children and reduce sperm
count. This chemical pollutes the air and water while increasing your risk of developing
liver cancer.
In Living Green6, author Greg Horn discusses the reproductive harm caused by
phthalates because many plastics contain them too. He reports that human sperm
counts have dropped by 50% in the U.S. over the past century. Horn suggests that the
estrogen-mimicking compounds may lower male sex drive and result in “feminizing
effects.” He adds that breast development now occurs as early as 24 months in females.
The Body Burden7 Report proves that exposure to these chemicals produces long-term
effects, as urine and blood samples from all tested humans contained traces of
hundreds of chemicals, including phthalates.
The flowery perfumes escaping your wash cycle may smell pleasant, but they may
trigger asthma in your children and cause the development of new allergies. If cleaning

leaves you with a headache or cranky mood, don’t assume that it’s caused by the act of
cleaning. Your body is responding to the fragranced chemical cloud of neurotoxins.
If you are wondering why companies use such harmful ingredients for fragrance, the
answer is this: the bottom line. Natural fragrances, such as essential oils, are costly in
comparison to synthetic fragrances.
Cleaning Your Whites: The Illusion of Whiter
Are your white clothes really whiter after you wash them? Most laundry detergents
contain optical brighteners, which are chemicals that trick your sensory perception. Your
clothes are not really whiter and brighter, you only think they are.
Optical brighteners leave a residue of molecules that reflect ultraviolet light from your
clothing. The detergents are not providing a deeper clean to brighten fabrics; they are
leaving yet another layer of chemicals to give the appearance of vivid color.
The brighteners stick to more than just your clothes. While you are working, relaxing,
eating and sleeping, the chemical coating on your clothes and bedding is rubbing
against your skin. Due to the ultraviolet reactive molecules, your skin can become
photosensitive and easily burn from exposure to sunlight. Increased exposure to
ultraviolet rays increases your risk for skin cancer, which is only one of the many
reasons to avoid optical brighteners.
People with sensitive skin often experience irritation and develop skin rashes from
optical brighteners. Because many people assume this is some sort of allergy, they opt
for detergents that market “hypo-allergenic” formulas. The problem with such
detergents is that many of them actually contain ingredients to mask undesirable
chemical odors.
In addition to the irritation that optical brighteners may cause your skin, they harm the
life within our waterways. Such toxic chemicals can change the physical properties of
small organisms and poison fish. As they do not readily biodegrade, their effects are
long lasting within our environment.
Is Bleach a Safer Alternative?
Bleach within laundry detergents, whether regular or color-safe, seems like a great idea
because we know that bleach disinfects and brightens clothing; however, the negative
health risks outweigh any possible benefits.
www.DetergentTruth.com

While you’ve probably heard the warning not to mix bleach with ammonia, you may not
have heard about the dangers of bleach itself. A bleach and ammonia mixture will steal
all oxygen from the air, but bleach alone is a harmful irritant that hurts your lungs.
In Green Living, the editors of E/The Environmental Magazine8 note that chlorine
bleach, as it flows down the drain, can produce organochlorines (OC), which create
problems for your reproductive and neurological system while increasing your risk of
developing cancer. Vinegar and baking soda provide the same benefits of chlorine
bleach without harming your health and the environment.
Harsh chemicals are just as bad for your fabrics as they are for your health. According
to the EPA, you are increasing the potential for fires by using chlorine bleach in your
laundry. As the chemicals break down fabric fibers, the amount of lint increases and
may catch fire in your dryer.
To stabilize bleaching agents, manufacturers add ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic acid
(EDTA). EDTA slowly biodegrades and can release settled heavy metals into the water
supply.
Our “Clean” Clothes are polluting our Bodies and
the Environment
What’s used to actually clean our clothes is yet another petrochemical: nonylphenol
ethoxylate (NPE). Extensive research and reports from the Sierra Club show us, yet
again, that the bottom line is more important than our health. While Canada and the
European Union have banned NPEs, the United States continues their use.
According to the Sierra Club, the possible reason behind the continued use is that the
Alkyphenol Ethoxylates Research Council (APERC) represents the manufacturers of this
harmful petrochemical.9
One of the many problems with the use of NPEs is that they imitate the hormone
estrogen, which then classifies them as an endocrine disruptor (as seen in phthalates).
Our hormones regulate many of our bodily functions, such as reproduction, and
anything that disturbs our hormonal balance can severely affect physical function and
fetal development.
Our current water treatment facilities are unable to completely break down and
neutralize NPEs, which is unfortunate because NPEs actually become more toxic as they

9 Sierra Club. (2005, November). The truth about toxic cleaning agents.
linger in our environment. The Sierra Club report shows that 61% of tested waters
contain NPEs, and at a concentration of less than one part per billion (ppb), NPEs
adversely affect aquatic life.
At 0.1 ppb concentration of NPEs, young oysters show developmental problems, such
as difficulty moving their shell hinges, and their death rates rise. At an increased
concentration of 1 ppb, some oyster larvae actually develop both male and female sex
organs. But the levels of NPEs in our waterways are an astounding 50-220 parts
per billion!
The Journal of Pesticide Reform10 shows that dogs that ingested NPEs for 90 days
formed spots of dead tissue on their heart muscles, whereas cats’ hearts were no
longer able to contract normally. They also report that NPEs caused vaginal stretching
and uterine growth in laboratory rats. Even the offspring of exposed rats showed
lowered sperm counts.
NPE’s ability to mimic estrogen can alter some of the cells within your body. This
chemical is prevalent in our communities because of its use in pesticides and
detergents, and its slow degradation time. If you have family history of breast or
ovarian cancer, or if you are pregnant, you must strongly consider
alternatives to commercial detergents.
It is not cost-effective or feasible to upgrade all of the water treatment plants to control
this outpouring of NPEs when we should ban their use all together. While we can urge
government reform to control toxic chemicals, we each have a personal responsibility to
find and use safer alternatives.

The bottom line is this: this saves you money. When you think how much money
you've spent on detergent over your life, switching to this just makes sense...
When I did the math I figured I've forked out over $3,000 on toxic laundry sludge
over the past 15 years, and all of it, gallons and gallons have been in my clothes, on my
skin. I could have saved all that money, and my health.
You usually have to buy detergent every month!

No More Toxic Chemicals On Your Skin
While I love saving all that money, it's really not why we chose to switch to the
Magnetic Laundry System. You can't put a price on health. The difference this has
made in my family's health was what sold us on this new method.
When you put on your clothes, you notice within days your skin is less dry, not as
irritable and itchy. If you have allergies or rashes on your skin frequently, you may
notice them reduced or even gone.
Corporations shouldn't have the right to put cancer causing chemicals in products that
end up on your skin, have you pay for that, and get away with it. You can start today,
get healthier, and start saving money.
Much Softer Clothes and Towels!
With detergent your clothes usually come out hard and stiff, which is why a lot of
people spend additional money for chemical fabric softener. With the magnetic laundry
system you'll notice our clothes, towels, and linens are soft and plushy without
fabric softener! This is because of the unique way of how it cleans your clothes...read

Your Jeans Stay New and Colors Don’t Fade...
How long do your jeans keep that "new" look and feel? Usually not very long before
they fade and you have to buy a new pair. This is because the intense chemicals in
detergent rip the dyes right out of your clothes.
Because of how the magnetic laundry system cleans, you'll notice your jeans last almost
5 times longer. In fact, most of your clothes will keep their bright colors for much much
longer!

You get all the cleaning power of laundry detergent... without the detergent! All you
do is stick these puppies into the washer and turn it on. My wife and I were both
skeptical when we first tried it, we were surprised to find it works just as good as
detergent. Click here to watch video proof
The manufacturer's warrantee on the magnetic laundry system is 50 years. That's a lot
longer than a container of detergent!

The Magnetic Laundry System
"We have done 5 loads of laundry with the Magnet Laundry System. I wasn't skeptical,
but my husband sure was! My clothes are washed on cold, due to the work I do (office).
My husband is a Welder/Machinist/Industrial Mechanic- can we say GRIME?! We wash
his on warm or hot, depending on what is on them. His clothing is always washed
separately and he was amazed they came out clean!!!"
Lori Christe Seabeck WA, United States
"Even after reading testimonials etc., I was still amazed. Clothes come out really nice and
clean. We raise animals so after doing chores, sometimes our clothes are really dirty!"
J.O. Ft. Dodge, IA

We Are Using Nature to Control Nature

We are not using a toxic sledge hammer! We are using nature to control nature. Give your pets a chance to respond to the threat in a more normal way. Yes there might be an occasional flea but no fleas or worms will be able to survive inside your pet or outside to a moderate degree. That means no infestation. Your pets immune system will be able to handle it. If you prepared your rugs and living spaces properly then those places may see an unfortunate flea but not for very long. FFO must be given all year round to reap the benefits of good health. You pets will not stop coprophagic (eating feces) behavior just because there are no fleas in the winter. Your cat will still catch the occasional bird or lizard. They need a little help from nature. So help them!. Give Flea Free Organically, all year round so they can fight nature with nature!

That’s all for now.

Kody's Story...

I was handicapped in ’05 and at that same time my mother who suffered from Alzheimer’s also died. The Family dog became her service dog and after her death he became my service dog. He served our family for 15 years before dying. Kody was allergic to fleas but really hated the monthly spot treatments. Sometimes our best friends are our families or life partners, sometimes an animal comes into our lives that is something more than a best friend. Pet owner know what I’m talking about. Kody was my life friend. Kody was 80% wolf. We went everywhere together. He loved children "no, not for breakfast" …I use to joke with frightened parents. Sometimes we’d have 20 people around petting and loving him. We had so much fun together. I believe that his condition was due in some part to the toxic flea preparation I was forced to give him. He’s not here to benefit from Flea Free Organically but you can. Deciding to use organics take a little more effort then spot treatments and you may see a flea or two but you will always be armed against any infestation of flea, ticks intestinal parasites worm and even some viruses.
If you want to kill a flea with a sledge hammer and the rest of the planet along with it, then use the spot treatments that only takes care of fleas. After a while some people report that the spot treatment no longer work and you’re stuck with a sick flea bitten animal. Or you can keep you your family and you best friends happy, healthy and flea free organically.
