There are plenty of harmful effects from using regular cleaning chemicals. These chemicals release terrible substances in the environment that are harmful to humans, plants, animals, etc. These chemical pollute the air and any surrounding water as well. The harmful substances released into the environment are called Volatile Organic Compound (VOC). 

Most products that create vapor or have a scent to them contain these VOCs. These substances induce asthma, eye irritation, skin irritation, reactions, etc. VOCs are actually even regulated by law because of all the harmful effects on humans and indoor air quality. 

Additionally, a lot of cleaning chemicals have carcinogens in them. Carcinogens are substances capable of causing cancer in living tissue. So to stay away from VOCs and carcinogens, Green Cleaning has been invented and utilized by many different cleaning companies. Companies such as: http://www.yananecofriendly.com/ , https://www.newlinecleaning.com/ , http://www.ecocleanology.com/.

After learning that cleaning chemicals have the potential to cause respiratory and dermatological problems, and even cancer, I have decided to start my business with environment friendly products. I prefer to keep myself, future employees and building occupants away from the effects of harsh chemicals. This in turn may reduce the number of employee sick days.

When stocking up on cleaning products, I will either mix my own, or purchase products that are certified “green”. All products need to be diluted correctly and in the long run may even be cheaper than harsh chemical cleaners.

I will be purchasing high performance equipment, such as HEPA filter vacuums that improve air quality, and using microfiber cloths, mops and dusters known for their ability to trap soil and not redepositing it. I worked as an employee in the cleaning industry 20 years ago, and I am excited about the new products, equipment, and the way cleaning is being accomplished now!

  Knowing about the risks of bloodborne pathogens is critical in the cleaning industry. Bloodborne pathogens can be easily spread if protective procedures are not followed properly.

  Blood, vomit, saliva and other bodily fluids may be infected with bloodborne pathogens that can cause HIV and Hepatitis B and it is for this reason that specific guidelines must be followed in cleaning and removal. Splashing with a mop can spread the pathogens about the area and enter the mucus membrane through the nose, mouth, eyes or skin. 

  Needle bins, trash receptacles and hazardous waste must be handled with care in order to prevent injury and exposure as well. International guidelines, if followed, may prevent or reduce infectious waste exposure. Wearing disposable gloves and eye protection play a strong role in prevention.

It's no secret that conventional cleaning products such as Mr.Clean, Lysol, and Formula 409 multi-purpose cleaners, among others, pack a chemical punch.

Products like these contain ammonia, bleach, chlorine, and other toxics known to wreck havoc on human health and the environment as they release high levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) known to pollute the airways in your home or commercial facility.

But is there a safer alternative to these products? Can we still get the job done without compromising so much? Sure we can!

Green cleaners clean just as good-if not better-and you can make them yourself! Yes, you heard right! Mixing lemon and vinegar, for example, make for a great multi-purpose cleaner that can easily clean a sticky mess, leaving a fresh odor behind.

Another option is to use plant-based cleaners from eco-friendly brands like Method, Mrs. Meyer's, and Better Life.

Either way, natural is the way to go! Help yourself by finding a green cleaning service provider in IJCSA's Green Cleaning Directory:

Harmful effects of everyday cleaners can be numerous health problems. Ammonia which is commonly used in window cleaners can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and throat. It is also very harmful to our environment. It is toxic to plants, animals, and sea life. It disrupts the ecosystem by adding nitrogen to the environment. A green window cleaner that can be used is cornstarch and vinegar and water. 

Another harmful cleaning agent is Amyl acetate. This is used to polish furniture. It is a neurotoxin that can lead to depression if it gets in the central nervous system.  Cornstarch can also be used as a green alternative. 

Artificial fragrances can cause harmful effects to fish and mammals, They also can cause skin and eye irritations to humans. A green alternative can be as simple as lighting a candle or boiling orange peels. Another green alternative can be baking soda. 

Artificial coloring can also be dangerous. It can cause allergies as well as skin and eye irritations. They affect fish and mammals as well. They do not have a useful purpose. They are made from petroleum.

Chlorine is a harmful chemical that can cause atmospheric ozone loss. It is found in tile cleaners, laundry bleach, and dishwasher detergent. A green alternative is called washing soda. It is sodium carbonate decahydrate.

Many green companies use all these different green practices and more. You can find them at IJCSA Member Directory Here: https://www.ijcsa.org/Find-A-Cleaning-Service-Janitorial-Service
