Chemicals hide everywhere in your home; you might think that something as innocent as running your dishwasher would do not harm, but the truth is it does!
Chlorine, alkyl phenoxy ethanols (APEs), dichloromethane (DCM), diethanolamine (DEA), dioxane, phosphates, sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate, and synthetic fragrances are chemicals often found in dish soaps. The chemicals in dishwashing soap are poisonous and cancerous, they can contribute to genetic problems like and asthma, as well as cause skin irritation.
Ten days before Christmas in 2008, an 18-month-old toddler from Queensland suffered horrible injuries when he swallowed highly poisonous dishwasher detergent. The detergent burnt away his epiglottis and left the toddler with medical problems to deal with for the rest of his life. So if this stuff does that when ingested directly imagine what it could do when ingested indirectly after washing your dishes!
