Residues left on dishes, sponges, and cutting boards can be a hidden ingestion pathway.

⚠️ Chemicals to avoid:

• Artificial fragrance and dyes in dish soap.
• Quats and antibacterial agents in surface sprays and wipes.
• Drying agents in rinse aids (may leave film on dishes and glassware).

✅ Safer dish care:

• Use fragrance-free or EWG Verified dish soaps (e.g. Better Life, Attitude, Ecover Zero).
• Choose unscented dishwasher detergent tablets free from chlorine and phosphates.
• Disinfect surfaces with hydrogen peroxide or castile soap + vinegar — not bleach-based products.
