Why Green Cleaning?

 “Traditional vs. Green.”

 Traditional cleaning products can contain harmful chemicals. Depending on the duration, rate and extent of exposure, they can cause cancer, reproductive disorders, major organ damage and permanent eye damage. These cleaning chemicals are also routinely washed down the drain where they find their way into drinking water, lakes and streams, adversely affecting plant and animal life, threatening public health and adding to pollution. Among the more common toxic ingredients are phosphates, chlorine bleach, napthas and mineral spirits, phthalates found in furniture polish, ether-type solvents, methylene chloride, butyl cellosive and petroleum distillates found in oven cleaner, sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide in drain cleaners. We breathe the fumes in the air,  touch the chemical residues on surfaces, and at times, even ingest the chemicals by eating or drinking things that have, without our knowledge, come in contact with these residues. We are  putting ourselves, our children, and our pets at risk. Not to mention, the Earth itself!  The purpose of "going green" is to address human illnesses that arise from exposure as well as damage to the environment (water, soil, air) from disposal of these products. The benefits of using Green Cleaning Products are outstanding. There are no toxic chemicals. No health risks. No pollution. Better air quality. And they clean and disinfect just as well as our favorite products. So tell me, why aren’t you "green"?

  "Environmental Issues."

  People worldwide are continually becoming more and more aware of the damage that we are causing to all living things because of our unawareness and/or carelessness. Most of us pollute the air, water, and earth everyday. Green cleaning is one of the many small things that we can do to cut back on pollution.  By using green cleaning products we can elimanate the chances of harsh cleaning chemicals damaging our bodies, animal and plant life, and nature itself. Do your part. Go Green!
