Little conclusive evidence exists to validate this concern.
You can reduce your chance of inhaling VOCs by using a natural all-purpose cleaner. Acute symptoms of high VOC exposure include eye irritation, headache, nausea, and vomiting. The effects of VOCs on health vary a lot depends on how long the VOCs are inhaled and the concentration at which they’re inhaled. You’ll also find VOCs in petroleum fuels, hydraulic fluids, and paint thinners. VOCs are characterized by high vapor pressure and low water solubility. When evaluating your collection of cleaning products, it’s helpful to know about the volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, found in some conventional cleaning products. Bathrooms are high-germ areas, and a product dedicated to “all-purpose” use may not be strong enough.
We don’t recommend using all-purpose cleaner for heavy-duty bathroom cleaning.
