Comet Liquid Cleaner

Comet Liquid Cleaner contains bleach, surfactants, and synthetic fragrances that may cause respiratory, skin, and immune reactions. Avoiding exposure, switching to natural alternatives, and supporting detox pathways can help manage sensitivity and improve overall well-being.

🚫 What is Comet Liquid Cleaner?
Comet Liquid Cleaner is a household disinfectant and degreaser designed for cleaning kitchen and bathroom surfaces. It contains sodium hypochlorite (bleach), surfactants, and fragrances, making it effective at cutting through grime but potentially irritating to skin, lungs, and the immune system.

🤔 Why Do I Have an Intolerance to Comet Liquid Cleaner?
Your sensitivity to Comet Liquid Cleaner may be due to its chemical composition and effects on detox pathways, respiratory function, and skin health:

  • Bleach fumes – Inhalation of chlorine vapors may cause headaches, dizziness, or respiratory distress.
  • Skin irritation – Contact with surfactants and bleach can lead to rashes, dryness, or chemical burns.
  • Fragrances & dyes – These added chemicals may trigger allergic reactions.
  • Liver detox burden – The liver must process and eliminate these chemicals, which can overwhelm detox pathways.
  • Oxidative stress – Chlorine compounds can increase inflammation and disrupt cellular function.

🛠️ What Can I Do About It?

  • Switch to natural, bleach-free cleaners – Use baking soda, vinegar, or hydrogen peroxide.
  • Improve ventilation – Open windows and use an air purifier when cleaning.
  • Wear protective gear – Use gloves and a mask to minimize exposure.
  • Rinse surfaces thoroughly – Reduce lingering chemical residues on cleaned areas.
  • Monitor symptoms – Avoid Comet Liquid Cleaner for 8 weeks and retest to assess improvement.

💊 Which Supplements Can Help with Comet Liquid Cleaner Intolerance?

  • Vitamin C – Helps neutralize chlorine exposure and supports immune health.
  • Glutathione – Supports detoxification and liver function.
  • Milk thistle – Enhances liver enzyme activity for toxin breakdown.
  • Quercetin – Reduces inflammation and allergic reactions caused by chemical exposure.

🌟 Why Might I Have an Intolerance to Comet Liquid Cleaner but Not Other Cleaners?

  • Bleach-based formula – Comet Liquid Cleaner contains sodium hypochlorite, which can be harsher than other disinfectants.
  • Fragrances & surfactants – Some cleaners use milder formulas without synthetic scents or dyes.
  • Respiratory effects – Inhalation of chlorine vapors may be more irritating than non-bleach alternatives.
  • Chemical absorption differences – Liquid formulas may penetrate skin more than powder-based or natural alternatives.
