Why You Should Detox Your Home
Household dust isn’t just unsightly—it’s a chemical-laden hazard. New research shows dust in your home could expose you to over 258 toxic chemicals, including:
- PFAS (forever chemicals)
- Pesticides and microplastics
- Phthalates and phenols
- Flame retardants and VOCs
“Dust is far more than just dirt—it’s a collection of harmful substances, including microplastics, allergens, and even ‘forever chemicals’ like PFAS, which are linked to cancer, diabetes, and other chronic diseases. These particles can easily become airborne, making them a constant source of exposure as we breathe them in or come into contact with surfaces in our homes.”
— Dr. Paul Savage, Chief Medical Officer, MDLifespan“Dust is an incredible reservoir for chemicals in the home—chemicals that can stay there for years,” adds Robin Dodson, exposure scientist at Silent Spring Institute.
At MDLifespan, we believe true wellness starts with a clean foundation. That’s why we created the Keep MDL Clean Home Guide—a free, physician-curated resource to help you detox your home safely and effectively.
What’s Hiding in Your Home?
From flooring and furniture to detergents and air fresheners, many everyday items shed or release chemicals. These toxins:
- Settle on surfaces
- Mix with dust
- Enter your body through inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion
Toxic Product Red Flags
| Product Type | Potential Toxins |
| Air Fresheners & Candles | Phthalates, VOCs |
| Laundry Detergents | SLS, optical brighteners, synthetic fragrance |
| Glass Cleaners | Ammonia, acetone |
| Antibacterial Products | Triclosan (linked to hormone disruption) |
“Chronic exposure has been linked to cancer, liver and kidney damage, and immune dysfunction.” — Keep MDL Clean Home Guide
✅ 4 Simple Steps to Detox Your Home
