Greening the Cleaning® Cleaner
Today's cleaning products contain many chemicals that may be harmful to your health and the health of your children. Because indoor pollutants are not as easily dispersed as outdoor pollutants, concentrations of toxic chemicals may be much greater indoors. Health effects from some household products can be acute or chronic. Acute effects are short-term and can include such symptoms as headaches, eye and/or throat irritation, or even nausea. Acute effects also include triggering of asthma attacks or allergic reactions. Chronic effects are those long term effects such as cancer, chemicals that can affect the unborn, and neurotoxins (nervous system effects).
Did you Know?
Change your perception of what "clean" is. Clean is more an absence of odor rather than a masking of odors with cleaning products. More evidence is showing that synthetic fragrances can also be asthma triggers or cause allergic-like reactions in some people. Greening the Cleaning® means eliminating to the greatest extent possible, all cleaning agents containing hazardous ingredients and replacing them with environmentally responsible, less-toxic products that utilize natural or naturally-derived ingredients, and ingredients from renewable resources whenever possible. The Award Winning Greening the Cleaning® products have been developed by The Deirdre Imus Environmental Center for Pediatric Oncology® at Hackensack University Medical Center. Features
