    ....A proactive commercial cleaning company www.aaaccomclean.biz will always be up to date and consistent in protecting the population and the world from harmful chemicals. They will routinely check lists of ingredients for any of these dangerous chemicals. If they spot any of the following chemicals in their cleaning products, they will discontinue and make their employees aware of the product’s danger to humans. http://www.ijcsa.org/Green-Cleaning-Services

    PERCHLOROETHYLENE (PERC)

    Perchloroethylene is a chemical found commonly in fabric cleaners, including those that dry clean clothes and pull food and beverages from carpets. It’s a potential carcinogen and neurotoxin if inhaled consistently over time, which can happen as you continually clean carpets or pick up clothes fresh from the dry cleaner.

    FORMALDEHYDE

    Formaldehyde can be found in some heavy-duty cleansers. It has been connected with the onset of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, a neurodegenerative disease that slowly eliminates the brain’s ability to control the body.

    It can also cause damage to the nervous system in different ways than ALS does. In some cases, it can shift the balance of chemicals in the brain, which may lead to depression, mood swings, headaches, insomnia, irritability, and attention deficit.

    2-BUTOXYETHANOL

    2-Butoxyethanol is a common ingredient in multi-purpose cleaners and window sprays. You may recognize it by its sweet, slightly floral scent. It is a glycol ether solvent that helps break down dirt and oil.

    Extended exposure to 2-butoxyethanol can cause high-grade liver and kidney damage, narcosis, and pulmonary edema.

    AMMONIA

    Ammonia works as a polisher and glass cleaner, and while it is highly effective at leaving a streak-free shine, it also irritates human tissue. If you have lung or breathing problems, you’ll notice pain and discomfort quickly. If you don’t, prolonged exposure will still affect you and can cause permanent damage to your mucous membranes and cardiovascular system.

    SODIUM HYDROXIDE

    Most people know already that oven cleaners are relatively heavy-duty cleaners. So are clog removers and drain cleaners, and it’s because they use lye, or sodium hydroxide, to corrode baked-in food and clumps of dried and hardened hair and skin.

    Even mild contact with skin or inhalation can cause severe reactions with sensitive areas. You may feel a burning sensation in your throat or on your skin for days following use of sodium hydroxide.

    CHLORINE

    The same chemical used to clean pool water is concentrated in scouring powder, laundry whiteners, toilet bowl cleaners, and mildew removers. Prolonged exposure can disrupt thyroid function, irritate skin, and cause chronic dryness.

    CLEANING (AND MAKING CLEANERS) SAFELY

    Many consumers are now taking advantage of the natural cleaning power of household items such as baking soda and vegetable soaps, and manufacturers are responding to the demand to create naturally safe cleaning products free of toxic chemicals. Avomeen’s cleaning product testing services are ideal for those who want to create cleaning products that are incredibly effective and reliably safe.

    There are more than 3 million cases of asthma and people with chronic breathing issues in the United States. According to the American Lung Association, past studies show that exposure to chemicals from cleaning supplies lead to occupational and other respiratory illnesses. Cleaning products release dangerous chemicals including volatile organic compounds also known as VOCs. 

    The Environmental Working Group came out with the "Cleaners Hall of Shame List" that includes products that contain harmful chemicals. These chemicals include, carcinogens, asthma instigators and poisons. Ammonia and bleach are on the list containing harmful ingredients that can set these patients into asthma attacks and/or trigger breathing complications. Some of the most popular chemicals we see on the shelves contain the most harmful chemicals. These dangerous chemicals come at a high price.

    Only a small percentage of these cleaners actually disclose the chemicals used in them. The HuffPost.com states that 53 percent of these cleaners contain lung harming ingredients. Cancer causing carcinogens such as formaldehyde and chloroform were found in these products. This should be enough to permanently close the door on using harmful chemicals to clean.

     Let's discuss the pros of cleaning "green".

    One of the pros to cleaning "green" is that the products will not cause damage to your surfaces over time such as traditional cleaning products with stronger chemicals. We all know that "green" and natural products are also much safer going down drains as well. We all rinse our used mops and towels after cleaning with cleanser. Green products were made with this in consideration.

    Although all-natural products take a little more effort to clean with, its certainly healthier and far more safe for humans and the environment. Green products are created to be safer for the environment yet support working efficiently and effectively. Using a company that uses and supports "green" is something to be proud of. D what is best for yourself , your family and your employees.

    Most people are unaware of the real harmful effects that common household chemicals can have on them and the environment.

    For instance all-purpose cleaners and automotive antifreeze contains Ethylene glycol, which is highly toxic and is a neurotoxin and nasal irritant. This chemical also contributes to ozone pollution and has been listed as a hazardous air pollutant under the Clean Air Act of 1990. On the other hand baking soda is a green and healthy cleaning alternative.

    Benzalkonium chloride, used in most disinfectant sprays and cleaners is a biologically active which supports the mutation of bacteria that are resistant to it. The healthier alternative as a natural anti-bacterial cleanser would be vinegar of baking soda. When mixed with water and essential oils, this serves as an effective and pleasant aroma bacterial killing solution.

    Most furniture polishes and degreasers contains Kerosene which cuts grease. This hazardous chemical can damage lung tissues and dissolve fatty tissue surrounding nerve cells. Using citrus essential oils along with baking soda mixed with water works great as a decreased. Lemonene found in the peels is a natural grease cutting agent. For your furniture you can use beeswax, almond oil and lemon essentials as a good alternative for polishing.
     
    Another dangerous chemical most people use daily is fluoride. Not many people are aware that fluoride poisoning is more dangerous than lead poisoning and can be found in toothpaste and drinking water. Up to 50 000 people die each year of fluoride poisoning. It is known to weaken the immune system and is poisonous to the kidneys. The safest natural alternative to fluoride in toothpaste would be to buy fluoride free toothpaste or by making a paste with baking soda. Osmosis water filters are known to remove up to 90% of fluoride so it's a worth while investment.
