As a small, locally owned business, it is important to rise noticeably above the competition. One important way to achieve the goal of standing out from a crowd in what can sometimes feel like a saturated market is to show potential customers that their health, safety, and well being is first and foremost. Cleaning is, after all, a service industry - driven by caring for customers, their families, and their most precious and personal environment: their home.

Obviously, green products are far better for our planet than their chemical, man-made counterparts due to biodegradability, sustainability, and toxicity among other factors, but the benefits they offer are also keenly felt inside a home. When considering products to use in cleaning someone’s home, much consideration should be given to the residents of the home, and the health impacts that such products can have. Green products and cleaning can provide assurance that children, pets, people with respiratory or skin sensitivities, the elderly, and other at-risk groups, as well as largely healthy individuals, will not come to any harm as a side effect of a cleaning service. Providing this assurance to potential customers by using products known to be safer allows the customer to enjoy a cleaner home environment without worry of side-effects, and allows the business to showcase commitment to a healthier home environment for potential customers as well as a healthier world for all of us.

We are all aware that using everyday cleaning chemicals can be harmful to human body. But do we specifically know what's going on in human body when we use everyday cleaning chemicals for prolonged time? Not many people are aware of the consequences of chemicals in human body. Prolonged use of everyday cleaning chemicals can cause problems in the skin, respiratory system, the reproductive system, and the nervous system.

The skin serves best as the barrier to germs and other substances. It is the first line of defense to the chemicals. Therefore, it is affected first. The prolonged use of chemicals can cause irritation, rash, redness, discoloration, dermatitis, and health effects related to other systems and organs due to contamination through the skin.

As we use everyday cleaning chemicals, we inhale the chemical pollutants in the air which can cause harmful effects in the respiratory system. It can cause asbestosis, lung cancer, chronic bronchitis, fibrosis, emphysema, and decreased oxygen supply in blood. 

As the chemicals 'sip into' or get absorbed into our body system, the more dangerous it gets. When the reproductive system is affected, it can cause infertility, increased baby death and birth defects. When the nervous system is affected, it can cause depressed cognitive function overall. It can cause inability to move, loss of feeling, confusion, and decreased speech, sight, memory, muscle strength, or coordination. These issues do not arise after one use, but can develop slowly as the chemical usage are prolonged.

However, using green cleaning products can reduce the risk of getting these negative health issues. Because usage of green cleaning products risks the human risks of the exposure to the toxic chemicals.

In today’s world, it’s common to hear the word “Green” in reference to cleaning products, cleaning services, and cleaning techniques. Unfortunately, not all products, services or techniques are green as advertised, including products that are sold in stores under the guise of being “green” and safer for human use and the planet.

One problem that consumers often run into when seeking truly green services from cleaning businesses is that they see “Green” in the name of the business, or otherwise touted on marketing materials, and they assume that the business is being honest with them or is educated enough to know what being “green” means. Unfortunately, many companies call themselves green cleaners, but are either ignorant or uneducated about what it takes to be a truly green company. The only way to be certain that you are getting a business that engages in true green cleaning practices and is educated on what that means is to find a company that possesses certification, as do all the services who are certified via IJCSA’s Green Cleaning Certification.
