GREEN CLEANING IMPACT

Green Cleaning Isn’t Just a Trend; It’s A Health Decision

The Problem with Conventional Cleaning

Most cleaners you buy have chemicals like VOCs that stay in the air. You don’t see it, but after cleaning, the air inside can get way worse than outside.

In a city where nearly 70% of buildings still contain asbestos, and where tens of thousands, 80,000 in 2021 alone, have been impacted by lead exposure, the health risks inside our homes and workplaces aren’t abstract.

In nearby New Jersey, thousands of children face the same threat. Traditional cleaning products only pile on more toxins, polluting the air we breathe and compounding the problem.

It builds up, especially if windows are closed. People with asthma feel it fast. Same with kids, pets, anyone sensitive. The people doing the cleaning are actually breathing it in every day.

How Toxic is Your Cleaning Cabinet?

Green Certified Products: 400 μg/m³
Dish Soaps: 1,200 μg/m³
Toilet Bowl Cleaners: 2,200 μg/m³
Oven Cleaners: 2,400 μg/m³

Air Fresheners: 2,800 μg/m³

Sick Building Syndrome is Real

People working or living in places cleaned with strong chemicals often get headaches, itchy eyes, or feel weirdly tired. Sometimes it’s a cough that won’t quit. Most of the time, it clears up when they leave the building.

That’s not random. It’s called Sick Building Syndrome. It happens a lot more than you’d think - up to 30% of U.S. buildings. Bad air, sealed windows, harsh products. All of it stacks up.

Top reported symptoms:

Headaches: 85%
Eye irritation: 78%
Fatigue: 72%

Why We Chose Eco-friendly Cleaning

Green cleaning to us is a commitment. We stick to low-VOC, non-toxic products that meet Green Seal or EPA Safer Choice standards. They don’t leave strong smells or chemical build-up.

We also ensure the use of HEPA vacuums because they actually trap fine dust instead of blowing it around. The people we work with know how to handle these tools.

How Green Cleaning Pays Off

Green cleaning doesn’t just protect people. It protects your budget too. Fewer sick days, less HVAC damage, and fewer complaints mean lower costs in the long run.

A 5-year case study showed businesses saving $190,000 with certified green protocols. Homes benefit too, less wear on furniture, floors, and indoor air systems.
