Why
Choose Green Cleaning?
We offer environmentally friendly house cleaning services in
the San Francisco Bay Area. Many cleaning products
contain ingredients such as chlorine, ammonia, phosphates,
petroleum solvents, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or
other ingredients that can irritate the skin, release toxic
fumes, and cause short- or long-term health problems. We
offer an alternative by using only natural and eco-friendly
products from companies such as Seventh Generation.
This is a list of some toxic ingredients commonly
found in commercial cleaning supplies.
- Formaldehyde - found in
furniture polish and various
cleaning products. Is
a potential human
carcinogen.
- Phthalates - found in
furniture polish. Can
disrupt hormone function and
cause genetic defects.
- Ether-type solvents (methylene
chloride, butyl cellosive,
and petroleum distillates) -
found in oven cleaners. Can
contaminate air, water and
soil.
- Chlorine bleach (sodium
hypochlorite) - found in
detergents and other
products. Is toxic to fish
and can bind with organic
compounds in water to form
organochlorines, which
accumulate in the fatty
tissues of wildlife.
- Napthas and mineral
spirits - found in furniture
polishes. Are neurotoxins
and contaminate air and
water.
- Sulfuric acid and sodium
hydroxide - found in drain
cleaners. Can change the pH
of water and kill fish.
- Phosphates - found in
dishwasher and laundry
detergents. Causes algae
bloom, which kills fish and
aquatic plants, and produces
chemicals that are toxic to
animals and people who drink
the water.
- Trisodium
nitrilotriacetate - found in
laundry detergents. Is a
possible carcinogen.
