Is there any evidence that the "clean environment causes allergies" story isn't just explained by "common cleaning products cause allergies"?

From what I've understood on the subject is that it's not super-well understood yet, with the common advice early on having been to avoid exposure to common allergens for young children (because potential anaphylactic shock being a bad thing), until it was observed that children i Israel generally showing a lot lower rates of peanut allergies, and that very young children in Israel are exposed to peanut-containing snacks early on. At this point, the advice was reversed to that young children should be exposed to potential allergens early on (because developing a life-long allergy from under-exposure to an allergen is worse).
The rest I'm guessing is extrapolation from that - lack of early exposure = negative.

That is how I’ve understood it: residues of bactericides everywhere which become inhaled dust.
