5. Hand Sanitizer

Triclosan is an antimicrobial compound. It has been used for ages. You can find it in toothpaste and hand sanitizers. Unfortunately, this component causes hormone problems, early puberty, infertility and liver cancer. Actually, soap and water are as effective as triclosan, however, they do not cause health issues. Some manufacturers use benzalkonium chloride instead of triclosan, which is also a chemical to be avoided.

Do the following: Get rid of antibacterial products. Your home is not an operating theater and you do not need to kill 100% bacteria and germs. Soap and water is all you need! If you cannot do without hand sanitizers, give preference to those that contain ethyl alcohol.
