My 3 Fave Highlights from The Dirty Truth Webcast!

Did you get a chance to watch The Dirty Truth About Everyday Products?

If you missed the live show, I understand entirely—life gets busy. But I just had to pop in and share the takeaways I really loved and didn’t want you to miss.

Here are my 3 favourite highlights from the show

Just Because It’s Sold Doesn’t Mean It’s Safe

When Bob was in college, he took a job cleaning hospital floors. At first, it seemed harmless enough—just another student job.

But after weeks of coughing and constant lung irritation, something clicked.

One day, while leaning over a steaming bucket of industrial cleaner, Bob took off his glasses and froze.

His lenses were coated in a thick, filmy residue. That same residue had been floating in the air and going straight into his lungs.
When he looked at the labels on the cleaning products, they were covered in skulls and crossbones. That’s when Bob had his wake-up moment: “Just because it’s sold doesn’t mean it’s safe.”

Bob’s story is a powerful reminder to take a closer look at the cleaning products we trust.

How Could Your Cleaning Products Be Affecting Your Family?

Children & Pets

• Kids crawling on floors can absorb toxic residues through their skin or by putting their hands in their mouths.
• Pets breathe in fumes at ground level and may lick freshly cleaned surfaces.

Immediate Health Risks

Chemical fumes can trigger asthma, worsen allergies, or even affect focus and mood.

Harsh cleaners can irritate or burn eyes and skin, especially if spilled or splashed.

Long-Term Exposure

• Some toxins may disrupt hormones and impact brain or nervous system health
• Lingering VOCS (volatile organic compounds) pollute the indoor air you and your family breathe
