Why Green Cleaning

Did you know that the air quality in your home is 2 to 5 times more polluted than the air outside, as indicated by the Environmental Protection Agency? This is largely because of the household cleaners and pesticides that are used in our homes. Ironically, conventional house cleaning products that we have been told are safe to use actually increase indoor pollution and promote health problems.

Many off the shelf cleaners contain a host of dangerous chemicals. Common household cleaners contain ammonia, chlorine, neurotoxins, and formaldehyde, and many others. All these chemicals have been linked to causing, headaches, stiff joints, fatigue, burning throat, nausea, asthma, allergy attacks, dizziness, ADHD, autism, birth defects, reproductive problems, just to name a few.

Exposures can occur by being absorbed through the skin or inhaled by the mouth or nose, and may be retained in the body indefinitely. And exposure over time can lead to serious and chronic illnesses.

Cleaning for Health

Did you know that poor cleaning practices can also add to the unhealthiness of your home and yourself.
Using rags to clean a toilet and then using it to clean your counters causes cross contamination which is a big issue because it spreads germs and bacteria from one surface to another. Sponge mops or microfiber mop cloths that are not changed hold thousands of different germs and bacteria that can be brought into your home. Vacuums that are not cleaned regularly transport dirt around, and an inadequate filtration system blows the dirt back into the room. Symptoms that may develop because of an unhealthy home are infections, respiratory problems and asthma and related symptoms.
