If you’re busy spring cleaning – hold your breath. Products linked to memory loss...


Some of our favorite household cleaners have been linked to memory loss. 

A new study has found inhaling the fumes of products like certain laundry detergents, wall paints, patio furniture varnishes could result in cognitive damage – and that damage could even be permanent. 

The products we should be especially careful with include those with benzene, chlorine and petroleum. If you’ll be using any heavy duty cleaners, solvents, paint or degreasers, be sure your work area is well-ventilated and consider wearing a mask.
