Learn how to safely clean with 3% and 35% hydrogen peroxide. Discover dilution ratios, best uses, and natural cleaning tips for an eco-friendly, effective home.

Conventional cleaning products may look harmless, but many release VOCs (volatile organic compounds) that can harm your health. A 2020 Canadian study linked frequent household cleaner use to increased asthma and wheezing in infants. Another study found these everyday products contribute as much to urban air pollution as car exhaust. Some cleaners also contain endocrine disruptors, neurotoxins, and even possible links to breast cancer—though more research is needed.

If you want a cleaner home and a cleaner body, consider switching to safer alternatives. Brands such as Essentially Om (launching soon!) offer effective, non-toxic options that are family- and pet-friendly.

Your home is sacred. Clean it like you mean it.

Think Dawn Dish Soap Is Safe? Roseville’s Om Sweet Om Cleaning Explains Why It Might Be Time to Switch

If you live in Roseville, chances are you’ve got that familiar blue bottle of Dawn dish soap sitting by your sink. It’s long been praised as the go-to grease fighter—even used by wildlife rescue teams—and it carries that unmistakable “clean” scent.

But at Om Sweet Om Cleaning, based right here in Roseville, CA, we believe that truly clean shouldn’t come at the cost of your health, your home, or the planet. In this blog, we’re breaking down what’s really inside conventional dish soaps like Dawn—and sharing safer, sustainable alternatives like our very own Essentially Om Bar Soap, created with your wellness and the environment in mind.

Acidic cleaners are powerful tools for tackling hard water stains, soap scum, and mineral buildup—but use them on the wrong surface, and you could cause serious damage. Learn which acids are safe for what, what to avoid (hello, chrome!), and how to clean smart without the costly mistakes.

Switch your cleaning tools and sponges to something more natural—and here’s why! Conventional sponges are loaded with toxic chemicals and plastic that pollute your home and the environment. Natural alternatives, like loofahs, coconut scrubbers, and cotton crochet scrubbies, are safer for you, biodegradable, and just as effective. Making the switch means a cleaner kitchen, fewer toxins, and less waste—good for you and the planet!
