With non-toxic cleaning, you can literally breathe easier knowing you’re doing your part to help the environment. Now, let’s dig in!
You can have greater peace of mind knowing your staff will be safe and your office will be clean - talk about a win-win!
Many cleaning products that can be found on the shelves of your local grocery store contain harmful, toxic chemicals. If you’re using these products in your office, your employees may be exposed to phthalates, toluene, and formaldehyde, all of which can be harmful to your skin and lungs.
For example, when residue from toxic cleaning products is left on floors, door handles, counters, or tables in your office, it can result in short or long term health problems for your staff. These products may cause irritation to the skin or eyes, and longer term exposure has been linked to cases of both asthma and reproductive harm.
Although much research is still to be done in this area, cleaning products have also been known to contain carcinogenic ingredients, causing a significant long-term health risk.
By choosing non-toxic cleaning options, you significantly reduce the likelihood of employees facing potential health risks associated with toxic cleaning products.
Kitchener Clean always use highest quality EcoLogo or Green Seal certified products when possible in your office. It’s what we recommend for you, and for the environment!
Non-toxic cleaning products and services can greatly reduce your company’s negative environmental impact.
Ingredients often found in common cleaning products such as phosphorus, nitrogen and ammonia are environmental hazards. Each time a product with these and other harmful ingredients is used to clean a toilet or sink, they enter and begin to wreak havoc on our waterways.
Additionally, cleaning products in aerosol cans are known to contribute to greenhouse gases. These perpetuate the depletion of the ozone layer and advance the effects of climate change.
Founded in 1988 by the Government of Canada but now recognized world-wide, EcoLogo is North America’s largest, most respected environmental standard and certification mark.
EcoLogo provides customers with assurance that the products and services bearing the logo meet stringent standards of environmental leadership. EcoLogo certifies environmental leaders, helping you find and trust the world’s most sustainable products.
The aforementioned benefits of a non-toxic cleaning service are clear: your employees are healthier and the environment is better off. The beauty of it is you don’t have to up your expenses, and your office can be just as clean as it would be with conventional products.
It’s even possible to make your own non-toxic cleaning products for at-home use!
