Mr. Clean

What is Mr. Clean?

Mr. Clean is a multi-surface cleaner used for a wide range of household cleaning tasks, from floors to countertops and bathroom surfaces. It contains strong cleaning agents, detergents, and fragrances to ensure thorough cleaning and a fresh scent. While effective, these ingredients can lead to sensitivity reactions in people who are sensitive to chemical-based cleaners.

Why do I have an intolerance?

Mr. Clean’s detergents and added fragrances may trigger allergies or respiratory issues in sensitive individuals. Symptoms can include watery eyes, sneezing, skin redness, and respiratory distress, particularly for people with asthma or sensitive skin. Prolonged contact or frequent inhalation of the cleaner’s fumes may intensify symptoms over time.

What can I do about it?

Use Mr. Clean in a well-ventilated area, and consider wearing gloves to protect the skin. For those with strong sensitivities, switching to gentler or fragrance-free cleaning products may reduce symptoms. Simple alternatives, like a mix of vinegar and baking soda, can also provide effective cleaning without exposure to synthetic chemicals or strong fragrances.
