Today, most homes and janitorial
companies use cleaners that contain added synthetic
poisonous chemicals. These mass-produced and low-cost
cleaners can look like they are cleaning better. However,
many of these synthetics are derived from crude petroleum
oil. Think of the stuff you put in your car before it has
been refined. There’s a reason it is called “crude.” More
importantly, these chemicals are very dangerous to your
health.
Next, take a look in your home or office
cleaning cabinet. How many common
cleaners do you see? How many chemicals |
|
do does the janitorial
company use
everyday? How many chemicals do you
use? The cleaners are in small bottles and look
safe. But, they can ooze invisible and odorless
toxic gases. This process is also known as
“out-gassing” and when toxic gases from one cleaner
mixes with gases from another, the effects can be
exponentially more dangerous.
We want to warn you of
these chemicals and their effects on your health.
Below, we’ve listed chemicals found in most common
cleaning products. |

Chlorine and chlorine
bleach |
First of all,
never mix chlorine bleach with other
chemicals. The reactions can be
unpredictable and dangerous. Next,
contact with bleach can cause
irritations and burns to your eyes
and skin. Be sure to wear adequate
protection. Also, work in a well
ventilated area as fumes can
irritate both eyes and breathing
passages. Make sure
the chlorine is stored and cannot
accidentally spill as it will
literally “bleach” and potentially
ruin most surfaces. |
