In a city as busy as New York, cleaning is essential for maintaining healthy homes and productive workplaces. But many people don’t realize that common cleaning products may actually be doing more harm than good. Harsh chemicals found in everyday cleaners can pose serious risks to both your health and the environment.

Here’s what you need to know about the dangers of traditional cleaning supplies — and why switching to eco-friendly cleaning is the smarter, safer choice for NYC living.

What’s Really in Conventional Cleaners?

Many store-bought cleaning products contain:

• Bleach and ammonia — can release toxic fumes when mixed. 
• Formaldehyde — linked to respiratory issues. 
• Phthalates and artificial fragrances — disrupt hormones and trigger allergies. 
• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) — chemicals that linger in indoor air. 

In compact NYC apartments or office spaces, these toxins build up quickly, making exposure even riskier.

 

 

Health Risks of Harsh Chemicals

1. Respiratory Issues
   VOCs from cleaners can trigger asthma, coughing, or chronic breathing problems. 
2. Skin Irritation
   Direct contact with chemical residues often leads to rashes or dryness. 
3. Allergic Reactions
   Strong fragrances can cause headaches, dizziness, or allergic flare-ups. 
4. Long-Term Effects
   Studies suggest prolonged exposure may increase risks of hormonal disruption and other health concerns.

• Non-toxic ingredients safe for kids, pets, and employees. 
• Improved indoor air quality with fewer allergens. 
• Biodegradable products that reduce environmental pollution.
