    It is very important to realize the changes that are taking place everyday in our world. We Are so conscious of ourselves our image and increasingly aware of our health.

    The issues that we face up until now has gone unnoticed for years, but it is now a forefront issue. The chemicals we use daily without knowing the adverse effects and dangers that come with it. Chlorine for example goes directly into the bloodstream and causes tightness in the chest. Most cleaning agent are toxic and if not properly used can lead to several health problems.

    Enter green cleaning, solutions made born from all natural ingredients such as lemons, tree tea oil, vinegar, baking soda all are wonderful household agents with amazing results, without giving you or your clients harmful side effects. 

    It is imperative to offer these services in todays world and for cleaning companies it should become mandatory to at least offer the option and have a disclaimer for all the products that will be used and the possible dangers.

    As we focus on our health each day working out, eating healthy, dieting we often forget that we breath in tons of unwanted chemicals and dust. Most of us generally do not think about the household cleaning products that we use to keep our investments and businesses looking alive to be harmful and the cause of sickness, and overall over time poor health.

    Going Green greatly reduces the risk of breathing in harmful chemicals and provides a natural way to eliminates dust and allergens it is also been proven to increase overall quality of air.

    When I see read these type  of chemicals in cleaning products I am concerned:

    • Butoxyethanol is a common ingredient in multi-purpose cleaners and window sprays. You may recognize it by its sweet, slightly floral scent. It is a glycol ether solvent that helps break down dirt and oil.

    Extended exposure to 2-butoxyethanol can cause high-grade liver and kidney damage, narcosis, and pulmonary edema.

    Ammonia works as a polisher and glass cleaner, and while it is highly effective at leaving a streak-free shine, it also irritates human tissue. If you have lung or breathing problems, you’ll notice pain and discomfort quickly. If you don’t, prolonged exposure will still affect you and can cause permanent damage to your mucous membranes and cardiovascular system


    • Sodium hydroxide   already that oven cleaners are relatively heavy-duty cleaners. So are clog removers and drain cleaners, and it’s because they use lye, or sodium hydroxide, to corrode baked-in food and clumps of dried and hardened hair and skin.

    Even mild contact with skin or inhalation can cause severe reactions with sensitive areas. You may feel a burning sensation in your throat or on your skin for days following use of sodium hydroxide.

    • CHLORINE

    The same chemical used to clean pool water is concentrated in scouring powder, laundry whiteners, toilet bowl cleaners, and mildew removers. Prolonged exposure can disrupt thyroid function, irritate skin, and cause chronic dryness.

    CLEANING (AND MAKING CLEANERS) SAFELY

    Many consumers are now taking advantage of the natural cleaning power of household items such as baking soda and vegetable soaps, and manufacturers are responding to the demand to create naturally safe cleaning products free of toxic chemicals. Avomeen’s cleaning product testing services are ideal for those who want to create cleaning products that are incredibly effective and reliably safe.

    ....A proactive commercial cleaning company www.aaaccomclean.biz will always be up to date and consistent in protecting the population and the world from harmful chemicals. They will routinely check lists of ingredients for any of these dangerous chemicals. If they spot any of the following chemicals in their cleaning products, they will discontinue and make their employees aware of the product’s danger to humans. http://www.ijcsa.org/Green-Cleaning-Services

    PERCHLOROETHYLENE (PERC)

    Perchloroethylene is a chemical found commonly in fabric cleaners, including those that dry clean clothes and pull food and beverages from carpets. It’s a potential carcinogen and neurotoxin if inhaled consistently over time, which can happen as you continually clean carpets or pick up clothes fresh from the dry cleaner.

    FORMALDEHYDE

    Formaldehyde can be found in some heavy-duty cleansers. It has been connected with the onset of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, a neurodegenerative disease that slowly eliminates the brain’s ability to control the body.

    It can also cause damage to the nervous system in different ways than ALS does. In some cases, it can shift the balance of chemicals in the brain, which may lead to depression, mood swings, headaches, insomnia, irritability, and attention deficit.

    2-BUTOXYETHANOL

    2-Butoxyethanol is a common ingredient in multi-purpose cleaners and window sprays. You may recognize it by its sweet, slightly floral scent. It is a glycol ether solvent that helps break down dirt and oil.

    Extended exposure to 2-butoxyethanol can cause high-grade liver and kidney damage, narcosis, and pulmonary edema.

    AMMONIA

    Ammonia works as a polisher and glass cleaner, and while it is highly effective at leaving a streak-free shine, it also irritates human tissue. If you have lung or breathing problems, you’ll notice pain and discomfort quickly. If you don’t, prolonged exposure will still affect you and can cause permanent damage to your mucous membranes and cardiovascular system.

    SODIUM HYDROXIDE

    Most people know already that oven cleaners are relatively heavy-duty cleaners. So are clog removers and drain cleaners, and it’s because they use lye, or sodium hydroxide, to corrode baked-in food and clumps of dried and hardened hair and skin.

    Even mild contact with skin or inhalation can cause severe reactions with sensitive areas. You may feel a burning sensation in your throat or on your skin for days following use of sodium hydroxide.

    There are more than 3 million cases of asthma and people with chronic breathing issues in the United States. According to the American Lung Association, past studies show that exposure to chemicals from cleaning supplies lead to occupational and other respiratory illnesses. Cleaning products release dangerous chemicals including volatile organic compounds also known as VOCs. 

    The Environmental Working Group came out with the "Cleaners Hall of Shame List" that includes products that contain harmful chemicals. These chemicals include, carcinogens, asthma instigators and poisons. Ammonia and bleach are on the list containing harmful ingredients that can set these patients into asthma attacks and/or trigger breathing complications. Some of the most popular chemicals we see on the shelves contain the most harmful chemicals. These dangerous chemicals come at a high price.

    Only a small percentage of these cleaners actually disclose the chemicals used in them. The HuffPost.com states that 53 percent of these cleaners contain lung harming ingredients. Cancer causing carcinogens such as formaldehyde and chloroform were found in these products. This should be enough to permanently close the door on using harmful chemicals to clean.

     Let's discuss the pros of cleaning "green".

    One of the pros to cleaning "green" is that the products will not cause damage to your surfaces over time such as traditional cleaning products with stronger chemicals. We all know that "green" and natural products are also much safer going down drains as well. We all rinse our used mops and towels after cleaning with cleanser. Green products were made with this in consideration.

    Although all-natural products take a little more effort to clean with, its certainly healthier and far more safe for humans and the environment. Green products are created to be safer for the environment yet support working efficiently and effectively. Using a company that uses and supports "green" is something to be proud of. D what is best for yourself , your family and your employees.
