🧽 What is Soft Scrub (Cleaner)?

Soft Scrub is a mild abrasive cleaner with bleach and fragrances that may trigger sensitivities in some individuals.

🤔 Why Do I Have a Sensitivity to Soft Scrub?

You may have a sensitivity to Soft Scrub because:

  • Bleach Content – Sodium hypochlorite can irritate the skin, lungs, and eyes.

  • Synthetic Fragrances – These can trigger headaches, respiratory symptoms, or chemical sensitivity.

  • Preservatives – Some may disrupt your immune or detox systems.

  • Slower Detox Response – If your body clears chemicals more slowly, even light exposure can cause symptoms.

  • Repeated Exposure – Regular use over time can build up sensitivity, even if symptoms weren’t noticeable at first.

🛠️ What Can I Do About It?

  • 🧼 Switch to Gentle Cleaners – Use fragrance-free, non-bleach options like baking soda, vinegar, or castile soap.

  • 🧽 Avoid for 8 Weeks – Take a break from all bleach- or fragrance-based cleaners to let your system reset.

  • 💧 Support Detox – Stay hydrated and include detox-supportive foods like leafy greens, garlic, and lemon.

  • 🌬️ Improve Airflow – Ventilate your home when cleaning to reduce inhalation of lingering fumes.

  • 🧴 Use Gloves – Protect your skin from contact if you must use conventional cleaners occasionally.

💊 Which Supplements Can Help with Soft Scrub Sensitivity?

  • Glutathione – Supports detoxification from bleach and chemical fragrance residues.
  • Vitamin C – Neutralizes oxidative stress and supports skin and respiratory healing.

  • Shared Spaces – It may be used in workplaces, gyms, public restrooms, or other communal areas.

  • Residue Transfer – You could come into contact with surfaces recently cleaned with it (like sinks or counters).

  • Airborne Exposure – Fumes from bleach and fragrances can linger in indoor air and ventilation systems.

  • Cross-Sensitivity – You may react to ingredients in Soft Scrub that are also found in other cleaners or personal care products.
