Why We Love Non-Toxic Cleaning Products (And Why Your Family Might Too)

Why We Love Non-Toxic Cleaning Products (And Why Your Family Might Too)

At The Market by Midwest Prime, we believe that what goes into your home matters just as much as what goes on your plate. That’s why we carry a carefully curated line of non-toxic cleaning products and eco-friendly household supplies—safe for your family, kind to the planet, and made by small businesses who care.

If you’ve ever picked up a store-bought cleaner and couldn’t pronounce half the ingredients, you're not alone. More families are turning to natural home cleaning solutions to avoid unnecessary exposure to harsh chemicals.


Why Switch to Non-Toxic Cleaning Products?

Conventional cleaners often contain:

  • Bleach, ammonia, and other irritants
  • Artificial fragrance (often made from undisclosed chemicals)
  • Endocrine disruptors like phthalates and parabens
  • Residues that can build up on counters, dishes, and laundry

These chemicals can trigger allergies, asthma, skin issues, and hormone imbalance—especially in children and pets. Choosing chemical-free cleaning supplies is a simple way to reduce that exposure and create a healthier home environment.


What to Look for in a Natural Cleaner

When choosing safe, non-toxic cleaners, look for:

  • Plant-based ingredients
  • Essential oil scents instead of synthetic fragrance
  • Biodegradable formulas
  • Plastic-free or refillable packaging

You’ll find all of the above in the cleaning section at The Market.
