The Hidden Dangers of Harsh Chemicals in Exterior Cleaning Products
At A Clear Choice, we believe in putting the planet before profit. That's why we're committed to providing eco-friendly exterior cleaning services that not only get the job done, but also protect our environment and the health of our customers.
But did you know, many traditional exterior cleaning products contain harsh chemicals. Which can be harmful to both people and the planet? These chemicals can leach into our soil and waterways, damaging ecosystems and endangering wildlife. They can also cause respiratory problems, skin irritations, and other health issues for humans and our pets.
So, what are some of the most common harsh chemicals found in exterior cleaning products, and why are they so dangerous?
Sodium Hydroxide (Lye): This highly caustic chemical is used in many industrial cleaning products, including drain cleaners, oven cleaners, and even some detergents. When used in high concentrations, it can cause severe burns and respiratory issues.
Phosphates: These chemicals are often added to cleaning products as a surfactant to help break down grease and dirt. However, they can also cause algal blooms in bodies of water, depleting oxygen levels and killing fish and other aquatic life.
Chlorine: While chlorine is commonly used to disinfect swimming pools and other surfaces, it can also be dangerous when inhaled or ingested. Exposure to high levels of chlorine gas can cause respiratory problems and even be fatal.
At A Clear Choice, we use only eco-friendly cleaning products that are safe for people, pets, and the planet. Our cleaning solutions are free from harsh chemicals like sodium hydroxide, phosphates, and chlorine. Instead, we rely on natural cleaning agents like hydrogen peroxide and citric acid to get the job done.
So, if you're looking for a cleaning service that's both effective and environmentally friendly, choose A Clear Choice. We're committed to protecting the health of our customers, their pets and the planet, one clean at a time.
