Women who are sticklers for keeping their homes tidy with an abundance of cleaners may be more at risk for developing breast cancer. Researchers writing in the journal "Environmental Health" specifically cited the use of more air fresheners and products for controlling mold and mildew. The study determined combined cleaning products use led to a doubled risk of the disease.

The study is believed to be "the first public report on cleaning product use and risk of breast cancer."
