Have you ever taken the time to read the label on your toothpaste? "If you accidentally swallow more than used for brushing, get medical help or contact a poison control center right away." Toothpaste also contain detergents like sodium lauryl sulfate which cause irritation and added glycerin which causes stomach cramps. This is why it’s so important for children under 12 to use a toothpaste without fluoride or better yet ~ something natural.
Most disinfecting wipes warn that if you plan to use the area cleaned with the wipes for food that a potable water rinse is required. So if you use these in the kitchen you’re in for double the work. Unfortunately most people don’t read the label. Try for a natural product or just use soap and water.
Some fabric softener sheets have this warning.
WARNING: Do Not Use This Product: On garments made with fluffier fabrics (such as fleece, velour, chenille, and terry cloth) Why? One reason is it could goof up the fire-resistant quality of a fabric. So never use this product on children’s sleepwear or garments labeled as flame resistant.
You can use a 1/4 cup of baking soda or vinegar in the wash to make your clothes softer and less clingy.
There are lots more health reasons for not using fabric softener that I didn’t realize before I started researching for this blog.
Benzyl acetate: linked to pancreatic cancer
Benzyl alcohol: upper respiratory tract irritant
Camphor: Central nervous system disorders.

And when using fabric sheets you'll need to take your lint trap out and wash it with warm soapy water and a stiff brush every couple of months. The fabric softener sticks to everything and will clog your lint trap making it more susceptible to fires.
So take the time to read the warnings on the back of the products that you use. Maybe you'll be as surprised as I was.
