Clean Start Janitorial Services Inc.

Most mass-produced common cleaners have synthetic and potentially poisonous
chemicals. These cleaners are widely used in mass quantities by most janitorial service companies. How much does your janitorial service use every single day? How many do you use at home? As a result, the air in the indoor environment where you live and work everyday is polluted by odorless, colorless toxins from common cleaning solutions. Some people suffer from such levels of overexposure that they contract asthma, cancer and ultimately die. Most of us are exposed at lower levels that
cause headaches, eye tearing, rashes and breathing difficulties. These effects are cumulative so the more chemicals a person

is exposed to over longer periods of time,
the more detrimental the effects.
There is an easy solution to this problem,
simply change the way your home and offices are cleaned. Please contact CleanStart Janitorial Service, Inc. today so that you, your family and you staff can
enjoy a healthier and cleaner indoor environment tomorrow. Below, we list clean and healthy alternatives to these poisonous cleaners. These alternatives are just as effective or in some cases more effective than their dangerous, poisonous counterparts. By simply replacing these cleaners, you can make a
difference in the air you breathe in your
home and office.

Next are the toxic impacts of a few common and seemingly innocuous cleaners. They are really hazardous wastes and environmental pollutants. These chemicals break down

slowly or not at all and a few come from non-renewable resources. They can be a danger to wildlife as well as pollute our drinking water and breathing air supplies.
