The Cellular Impact
With our animals’ sense of smell at 40 times that of humans, these toxic smells do immense damage to their beautiful organic bodies. We know when we encounter a smell we do not like, we have to leave. The animals, however, are stuck in our households, and do not have a lot of places to go to get away if we are liberally using toxic cleaning products.
These toxic products affect all life forms chemistry primarily affecting the liver, spleen, kidneys and heart, the gut, and the brain, adding to their “toxic load”. This includes all living creatures in your households, birds too! What is important to understand also, is they are all programs, they are programming the organic structure in a debilitating way. These programs also must be removed when toxicity is being worked on, cleared.
Laundry Detergent | Toxic
Impact on Animals | Absorbed through SKIN and ingested via SMELL
What might be in your detergents, if you are buying directly off the shelf in any mainstream store:
1. Fragrances containing phthalates which have been linked to diabetes, obesity, and hormone disruption (affecting both development and fertility.)
2. Surfactants known irritant and toxic to aquatic life https://smartklean.wordpress.com/2010/12/03/are-you-and-your-family-exposed-to- toxic-surfactants/
3. Bleach known irritation – burns via smell the inside of the body, the throat, the nasal cavity, where breathing problems and the animal stops eating as in so much pain. This was the case with one feline client of mine. https://www.beyondtoxics.org/work/green-home-cleaning-campaign/bleach/
4. 1, 4 Dioxane known carcinogen – very, very, very dangerous to all organic bodies
5. Phosphates and EDA
6. SLS | Sodium Lauren Sulfate is so bad for us and the environment that it actually has 7+ different names, so it can be harder for the public to identify. Similar to what the corporations are doing with MSG having over 28 different names. Some of SLS’s aliases are :
- Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)
- Monododecyl ester
- Sodium salt
- Sulfuric acid
- Sodium salt sulfuric acid
- Monododecyl ester sodium salt sulfuric acid
- Sulfuric acid monododecyl ester sodium salt
- Aquarex methyl
- Akyposal SDS
- A13-00356
7. NPE | Nonyl Phenol Ethoxylate known endocrine disruptor. How does the toxicity impact you and your loved ones?? It is absorbed via all bedding, and clothing when one sweats. It travels into the environment and impacts the planet and her water resources exponentially.
TIDE | 83 Chemicals in the Product
This is an example of a product line where things have gotten so out of hand, where the consumer is not even paying any attention to what these companies are doing. This product line is so toxic that the body starts to break down with fungus and yeast over growth. This product is all absorbed through the skin via everything washed in it. Please read the Toxic Tide page for more details as I have listed everything. It is shocking what is on the shelves available to the consumer. All these mainstream products are the same. Diabolical poison, please stop buying them and supporting these shareholders. Demand, and stand for change in the market place.

Another Real-Life Example | Dog Itching Constantly
Product: Nellie’s Laundry Soda
https://nelliesclean.ca/collections/laundry/products/laundry-soda?variant=42729398436077
This is an example of a product sold to the consumer as clean, good for the home via the image displayed – this is all clever marketing. It is not though. It is very toxic. Nellie’s Laundry Soda was impacting a client of mine heavily. Below is the dis-ease causing highly toxic ingredient list which the animal is breathing 24/7 and is being absorbed by all carbon-based bodies skin in the household. It may seem simple enough, but it is highly toxic.
- Sodium Carbonate
- Linear Alcohol Ethoxylate
- Sodium Chloride
- Sodium Metasilicate
Linear Alcohol Ethoxylate

Support Planet-Friendly Laundry Detergent Alternatives
The challenge with directing people to specific products is that the products and companies are changing daily. Therefore, it becomes about educating oneself and becoming informed about what is good for the body, the planet and what is not, so you as a consumer are able to navigate the ingredients lists. From my perspective, the best source is a local supplier who knows their products, making them, and is invested in planet friendly alternatives.
Even this company, https://trulyfreehome.com/ingredients#75 is listing harmful ingredients, which was backed by a reputable source as “green”. Of the 75, listed 2024 February, only 32 are truly green.
Stain Remover | For clothing, carpets, and even countertops, Buncha Farmers All Natural Stain Remover
http://www.bunchafarmers.com/store/c7/All_Natural_Stain_Remover_Bar.html
Shop Local | Ideally, shop local. Find a shop which makes all their own products and supports refilling glass bottles so no waste generated. This is the best route, so you always know what is in the products, and you are supporting a local business owner who cares about the planet.
Cleaning Products
Impact on Animals | Absorbed through SKIN and PAWS, and ingested via SMELL
Please use cleaners which are neutral in scent and are made from the earth’s organic compounds. Also, please read the label carefully before buying any product as many corporations are throwing this word “organic” or “green” on packaging which, has nothing to do with the ingredients in the actual product.
I help the animals heal with smell, so even the ones that smell lovely to you may impact your being’s physical body negatively, as every being is different.
Also, it is incredible that pet products, including the terrible food, are sold in the same aisle in the grocery store as the cleaning products. This is a red flag to us all! The whole aisle is toxic and smells toxic, too. None of it should be in your household, much less ingested.
Some Companies Selling “GREEN” but not “GREEN”
2024 February | These companies below are listed on a “wellness” site as green. Some of these companies may have started out ‘green’ with good intentions, but they are longer what they seem. Do not use these products in or around your home or environment.

Simply Done, Another Example
I am exposed to many products based on what the pet owners are using in their households. This is an example of dish detergent called Simply Done Bright Day. The company provides this information in the link here, shown below, 2025 February 16 https://smartlabel.besimplydone.com/id/1e837af8-e656-4520-bea2-1b2114203680#other-info-about-this-product
The product is marketed with plant-based ingredients:
- USDA Certified Biobased Product
- Free of dyes and fragrances
- Rinses easily
- Removes dirt and grease from clothing
- Quality Guaranteed
- Bio-Based
- Dye Free
- Fragrance Free
- Plant-based”
However, the company is NOT saying this is chemical-free. The chemicals highlighted in the list below were also obtained from the link above.
These chemicals boxed in red are massively harmful to the carbon-based body, and the planet. The Material Data Safety Sheets say so.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate | Parchem MSDS; ThermoFisher MSDS
Lauramine Oxide | Parchem MSDS, Chemistry Connection MSDS
Benzisothiazolinone | Chemitechnique Diagnostics MSDS
Another Example: Seventh Generation: All Purpose Cleaner Free and Clear
https://www.seventhgeneration.com/all-purpose-cleaner-free-clear
Ingredient list as of 2025 February 17. Do not use.
Water, octyl/decyl glucoside (plant-derived cleaning agent), sodium citrate (plant-derived water softener), laureth-6 (plant-derived cleaning agent), citric acid (plant-derived pH adjuster), PEG-6 methyl ether (synthetic processing aid), methylisothiazolinone (synthetic preservative), octylisothiazolinone (synthetic preservative).
Real-Life Example | Dog Licking Bottom of Feet Constantly
Product: DR BRONNERS
https://www.drbronner.com/products/sal-suds-biodegradable-cleaner
Ingredients | Water, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Lauryl Glucoside, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Sodium Benzoate, Abies Siberica (Siberian Fir) Needle Oil, Picea Glauca (White Spruce) Branch/Leaf Oil, Picea Mariana (Black Spruce) Leaf Oil, Citric Acid, Sodium Chloride, Limonene
Product: MURPHY’s OIL
https://www.murphyoilsoap.com/products/original-oil-soap
https://www.colgatepalmolive.com/en-us/smartlabel/70481011024
Ingredients | Water, Sodium Tallate, Fragrance, Trisodium MGDA, Lauramidopropyldimethylamine
2024 February | One of my beautiful client’s, lovely male bulldog, was licking his front feet, he was very red between the toes. We were part way through the healing journey, and this symptom had not yet fully healed. After clearing and healing him, I kept seeing chemicals increasing again as a toxin in his body. After asking the pet owner a few questions, I was led to the cleaner who was using the above products. The ingredients in red are toxic to his body. He was trying to lick this off his feet, yet at the same time he was ingesting this. This was highlighted after walks as his feet were moist and then must have been absorbing more of the chemicals when he came back home.
Dr Bronners | This company is no longer a company to support as it has been purchased. All of its products have chemicals and essential oils which the body should not be consistently exposed to.
Murphy’s Oil | Should not be on the market, as it is lethal for all life forms to be exposed to.
Cat Urine Cleaning Products
Both these products, and products like them, are damaging to all cat’s biological systems. They also hurt their blueprint on their physical body. Extremely damaging. Do not ever use. If you have a cat peeing in odd places, they are calling for help, not for toxic products to be sprayed around their home.
Jackson Galaxy Stain and Odor Removal
Ingredients on bottle: Baking Soda, Citric Acid, Oxidizers, Cleaning Surfactants.
When I reached out to Jackson Galaxy, 2024 June 4, the company explained the following;
“The primary surfactants are called linear alcohol ethoxylates. These materials make up less than 5% of the total tablet formula. The largest percentage of the tablet formula is comprised of the materials that make the product dissolve in water (citric acid, sodium carbonate, and sodium bicarbonate).
Here is some more specific information on the ingredient content of the tablet:
citric acid (≥30%)
sodium carbonate (≥15% <30%)
sodium bicarbonate (≥15% <30%)
perboric acid (≥5% <15%)
alcohol ethoxylates (<5%)”
However, when I test the above regarding “dangerous to a cat’s well-being as the formula is designed” – the two highlighted in yellow are coming up not okay, and these are the two ingredients generalized on the product label. The issue is humans are not taking into account I feel the animal’s sense of smell. The nose can smell these ingredients, and it is 100% toxic to the animal.
Bissell 74R7 Pet Stain & Odor Portable Machine Formula
This product is showing on Amazon with the following information provided. Everything in red is toxic to the carbon-based body.
Material Feature: Biodegradable Warning
Ingredients: water, sodium citrate, alcohol alkoxylate, fragrance, linear alcohol ethoxylate, sodium caprylyl sulfonate, alkyl polyglucoside, sodium polyacrylate, silicone defoamer, methylisothiazolone, benzisothiazolone
Bissell’s Material Data Safety Sheet is also provided on Amazon. While it fails to show the symbols of how toxic this is, these notes give the reader a good an idea copied from the pdf linked above.
“Fire Fighting Equipment: Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
Handling: Use only as directed. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash hands before eating.”
And here we have testing on beautiful sentient beings: rats, and rabbits. While the reader may not like either, it does not give us, our species, the right to test harmful ingredients on their body parts to see how much they are hurt. Humans are putting carpet cleaner in rabbit’s eyes to sell to you, the consumer.
“11. Toxocological Information
Ingestion: The oral LD50 is greater than 5 g/ kg in rats.
Inhalation: The inhalation LC50 is greater than 20 mg/ L for one-hour exposure for laboratory animals.
Skin: Not a primary dermal irritant (rabbit).
Eye: An ocular irritant (rabbit).”
However, on the international MSDS the symbols are shown as poison. If it is poisonous to the eye, it is poisonous to ALL the cells of the body.
https://supplier.bissell.com/MSDS_International/Pet%20Stain%20and%20Odor%20SDS.pdf
At least this company is being transparent. All of it is highly toxic to ALL carbon-based beings, not just your cat, and should not be used anywhere on this planet especially not in your home.
Cleaning with Essential Oils
Impact on Animals | Absorbed through SKIN and PAWS, and ingested via SMELL
Every essential oil’s scent has a role in healing the body, mind, and spirit, but they still need to be chosen by the being. For example, one day lavender might smell lovely to the reader, and another day terrible. This is because your body does not need this plant’s healing properties on that particular day. The same applies to our animals. If the body says no, then this means it would be toxic to the body to be used on or around it. We are all designed with this intelligence. This is out navigation system communicating what is safe and what is not.
Please be very conscious of floor cleaning products and litter box cleaning products. The animals are designed for beautiful soil, dirt beneth their feet, not these powerful scents we equate as natural and doing no harm. Every plant has a purpose and is to be used with education and knowledge else.
Therefore, please do not use essential oils in spaces where your animal cannot escape the smell, and definitely NEVER on your floors. You will potentially do damage to their systems, their health. I do not advocate cleaning with any essential oils as again you can impact the animal’s internal cell structure.
Our Planet-Friendly Cleaning Alternatives
We use a local soap shops products, so we know what is in each of the products. Our product base is very small, so not only are we saving funds, but our house does not smell of chemicals, we are not poisoning nature which we love with toxic smells via the dryer (one example), nor are we supporting corporations and their shareholders which are not in alignment with what we wish this world to be.
Dishwasher & Mold | Just in case anyone does not know this – always leave your dishwasher open a little to dry out. This will prevent mold harvesting in it. I always see people closing their dishwasher which then becomes a breeding ground for all kinds of things. Keep it open and let it breathe after every load and especially throughout the night. Even if it has stuff in it, let the machine breathe. It will be much healthier for you all. Even if it has dirty dishes in it, let the machine breathe. It will be much healthier for you all.
Rinse weekly with vinegar to clean the machine. Place a small bowl on top shelf with vinegar in it, and let it run through a short cycle.
Hand Sanitizer | Lethal
Impact on Animals | Absorbed through SKIN and ingested via SMELL
It is incredible how FEAR can market such a deadly product with it being made available now all through hospitals, even at bank tellers I see it. These are harsh chemicals, triclosan used heavily, which literally travel to your heart in 40 seconds, and goes to the brain!
Please stop using this stuff. It kills all good, friendly bacteria in your body and increases your toxic load in all your organs. This should not be on the market. Good old soap and water will do the trick. Check all the information out on the web, children and all animals will be heavily impacted where this is being used by humans.
I cannot even imagine the internal damage if pets are licking this off your hands or if you are handling their food once applying this.
If one would like to take this a step further, check the Material Data Safety Sheet for each of the chemical ingredients on the back of the bottle. Toxic soup.
