12 Cancer-Causing Things You Need To Remove From Your Bedroom Right Now

According to experts, the layout of the home where we spend a lot of time, especially the sleeping room, is very important.

Although this will require higher budget, still the investment in reorganizing your bedroom will be cost-effective:

1. Replacing Pillows and Pillow Cases with Organic Materials

First ,replace your pillows and pillow cases with organic materials!

Many people make the mistake of assuming that cotton is a safer choice than synthetics, but the fact is that cotton uses 25% of the world’s insecticides and over 14% of its pesticides.

As you can afford it, replace your bedding with organic materials.

2. Replace or Remove All Artificial Fabrics from Your Bedding, Bedroom, and Closet

Synthetic materials such as acrylic, nylon, and polyester are made from thermoplastics. These fabrics release gas plastic molecules whenever they are heated.

Wearing wrinkle free clothes you’re breathing in plastic and formaldehyde. Remember that you also absorb these chemicals directly through your skin.

3. Replace or Remove Artificial Clothes in Your Closet

The base for most synthetic fabrics is a liquid made from coal, oil, or natural gas. The liquid is forced through the fine holes of a nozzle, called a spinneret.

As the liquid emerges from the holes, it is cooled so that it solidifies to form tiny threads. These threads are woven together to make fabric.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, this means one thing – you should opt for clothing made of natural or organic materials.

4. Remove Faux/Fabric Furniture

If you own any furniture in your bedroom, such as a chair that is artificial leather, it shouldn’t be in your bedroom or any room in your house for that matter.

Throw pillows and seating cushions that are stain and water resistant have been sprayed with chemicals that are toxic.

5. Remove Particle Board and MDF

Also furniture that is made of particle board, MDF or melamine, it shouldn’t be in your bedroom.

The chemical that causes the most concern is formaldehyde, which can aggravate asthma and other lung conditions, irritate mucous membranes and cause contact dermatitis.

Like MDF, particle board contains formaldehyde, a known carcinogen that has been directly linked to nasopharyngeal carcinoma (throat cancer) in people.

The chemical can also cause headaches, allergies, nausea and a burning sensation in the throat.

6. Remove Accent/Throw Rugs

According to the experts, wood or tile floors are easiest to clean and better options for allergy sufferers.

While small accent or area rugs may look nice in your bedroom, they hold onto dirt, dust mites, and other allergens. If you can, omit rugs and carpet.

Almost all polyester is manufactured with antimony, a carcinogen that is toxic to the heart, lungs, liver, and skin.
