Studies have shown that building occupants and janitorial stuff, as well as building visitors, experience of fewer incidents of skin, eye and respiratory irritation, less allergies, fewer chemical sensitivities, headaches and nausea when cleaning is performed with “green” or “eco-friendly” products.
The use of traditional cleaning products effect indoors air quality through evaporation, and contribute to water pollution, since they contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). If you check your traditional cleaning products you might see it contains chlorine, phenol, ammonia or formaldehyde. These-and-more may be toxic. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the air inside a typical home is, on average, 2 to 5 times more polluted than the air just outside. Green cleaning helps to improve indoor air quality and minimizes pollution to our planet.
