Why Every Person Should Only Perform Natural Green Cleaning 4P


Green Cleaning with natural cleaning products seems like a catchy trend or phrase.  However, it is just a better knowledge of cleaning chemistry.  Most cleaning products today are highly toxic.  Each chemical has a different pathway to toxicitiy but the results are the same.


With the onset of so many types of cancer it is important to know about the side of effects of the chemicals in your life.  I lost my grandmother to the side effects of a dangerous disinfectant called Ethylene Oxide.  Whether or not the dangers were known back then is not up for discussion.  That fact is her cancer was the same type as the cancer warning for that chemical.  She died at 47, leaving behind 9 children.


Everyone should be aware of the chemicals in their surroundings.  Sometimes research on your own will do alot of good for determining toxicity.  My grandmother didn't have the luxury of the internet, but if she did she would have been in the managers office demanding the proper PPE.


If you are going to use toxic chemicals, be sure to use the proper PPE for the vapors associated with the chemical.  I highly recommend looking into green cleaning techniques.  It is about your health and the health of your customers.  It is worth the research, it just may save your life.
