By using fabric softeners and dryer sheets, you are directly affecting your family’s health and wellbeing.  You are actually wearing out your clothes faster each time you use fabric softeners and dryer sheets!  When you get rid of these products and clear all the chemicals from your clothes, symptoms you never knew were associated with exposure to your clothes will disappear.  In particular avoid any synthetic formulas that include these chemicals:Benzyl Acetate, Chloroform, Dichlorobenzene & Limonene: four known carcinogens (limonene also irritates eyes and skin).  Benyl Alcohol, Camphor & Biodegrad-able cationic softeners accumulate in the body and cause symptoms ranging from confusion to serious damage to the nervous system Ethanol and Ethyl Acetate: two chemicals listed on the Environmental Protection Agency’s “hazardous waste” list.  Alpha Terpineol, Pentane & Linalool: cause central nervous system damage, reduced spontaneous motor activity, and respiratory issues – pentane can even cause loss of consciousness and is extremely harmful if inhaled.
