What’s *really* in our cleaning products?
Why going natural isn't just a trend — it's a necessity.
We all want clean homes. Fresh-smelling rooms, gleaming counters, laundry that feels like sunshine. But here’s the question that’s becoming harder to ignore: What’s actually in the products we use to clean our homes?
Because “clean” shouldn’t come at the cost of your health.
The Hidden Cocktail in Conventional Cleaners
Take a walk down the supermarket aisle and you’ll be hit with lemony bursts, floral sprays, pine-scented this and ocean-fresh that. But behind the bright labels and overpowering scents lies a cocktail of synthetic chemicals, many of which are unregulated and undisclosed.
What’s really in there?
Phthalates – often hidden under “fragrance,” these are known endocrine disruptors
Ammonia & Chlorine – strong cleaners, yes, but irritants to lungs and skin, especially for children and pets
Formaldehyde – used as a preservative, linked to asthma and respiratory issues
2-Butoxyethanol – gives that streak-free shine, but can affect liver and kidney health
And here’s the truth: brands aren’t legally required to list every ingredient, especially if it falls under “fragrance.” That means you could be unknowingly filling your home with toxins.
Your Skin, Your Air, Your Space
Our skin absorbs what it touches. Our lungs take in what we spray. Children crawl on floors, pets lick surfaces, we all breathe the same indoor air.
So when we talk about home care, we’re also talking about self care.
That’s why at LONNAIGH, we believe that what you don’t put in your cleaning products matters just as much as what you do.
What We Use Instead
Our formulas are made with plant-based ingredients that clean effectively without harsh chemicals. No parabens. No synthetic fragrance. No nasties.
Instead, we rely on:
Essential oils for scent — naturally antimicrobial and grounding
Soapberry extract and vinegar for gentle yet powerful cleansing
Sodium bicarbonate and citric acid for scrubbing and shine
Eco preservatives to keep things shelf-stable and safe
Each ingredient has a job. Nothing’s filler. Nothing’s there just to smell “clean.”
Clean That Feels Right
Choosing natural cleaning isn’t just about avoiding toxins — it’s about reclaiming calm, simplicity, and honesty in your home. It’s about surrounding yourself with things that support your wellbeing, not compromise it.
So the next time you reach for a spray or sud, ask yourself: what’s really in this?
And if you’re not sure, come back to nature. She’s got all the answers.
