Why every person should only perform natural green cleaning.

30 Apr 2023 12:59 PM | Deleted user

  Every person should only perform natural green cleaning because it will improve the lively hood of all living creatures.

  Green cleaning products have been proven to improve indoor air quality and cognitive function to name two from a long list. Science has consistently proven to us the benefits of using green cleaning products. The use of these products is growing and expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

  Green cleaning provides us with a healthier space that we use and we know it's better for the environment. But we don't really stop to think how it impacts the ecosystem all the way down to the microscopic level. Many times when were standing in the cleaning aisle in the store we think will this get the job done and how much is it. We're not considering the impact on the ecosystem. Think of all the ways cleaning products can reach this delicate system. The rinsing of bottles, leftovers in discarded bottles that make their way into our water and soil. What about accidents involving derailed trains or semis that have spilled their contents.

  Indoor air quality is or should be a huge concern for all of us. Poor indoor air quality can have immediate and long term effects. Immediate effects can include irritation of the eyes, nose, throat and cause headaches, dizziness, fatigue and asthma. These immediate effects are usually short term, once the person is removed from the space or area they will begin to improve, while others may need treatment. Some people may not realize they're suffering from indoor air pollution, because the symptoms can mimic those of colds, flus and other viral diseases.

  Long-term effects can show up years after, either from long period or repeated exposure. Some of these long-term exposure effects can include cancer, heart diseases and respiratory diseases like COPD and lung cancer are just two.

  According to the World Health Organization household air pollution was responsible for an estimated 3.2 million deaths per year in 2020, including over 237,000 deaths of children under the age of 5. Here are some more disturbing facts, among the 3.2 million deaths 32% are from ischemic heart disease, 23% stroke, 21% lower respiratory infection, 19% COPD, 6% lung cancer.

Whether it's too take care of ourselves, family or the environment we should all do our part and make better choices when we purchase cleaning products and/or cleaning services. Be sure to use the link to find a Green Cleaning Certified Company. GREEN CLEANING SERVICES
