The dangers of toxic cleaning
Many common cleaning detergents contain a large quantity of nasty chemicals that negatively affect our health.
VOCs – volatile organic compounds – are present in the vapours that most common cleaning products produce. According to a study, cleaning products had a significant impact on the lungs of those working in long-term cleaning roles, and was comparable to the effects of someone smoking 20 cigarettes a day for 10 to 20 years.
Physical reactions to chemical-heavy cleaning products can range from eye, nose or throat irritation, respiratory symptoms including shortness of breath or coughing, nausea, headaches, and skins issues and allergic reactions.
Kindly formulated and powerful cleaning
Typically, green cleaning products are more considerate for use around people with weakenedimmune systems. This is because the formulas/or ingredients are usually built for specific needs such as being Allergy UK Approved or suitable for sensitive skin. They are far often more understanding to people in general as well as the local environment & planet.
Our Anti-bacterial Multi-Surface Wipes are biodegradable, and their fast-dry action formula makes them perfect for quick clean-ups and spot-cleaning. They are proven to kill 99.9% of harmful bacteria including E.coli, Listeria, Salmonella and MRSA, and leave behind a refreshing Aloe Vera & Cucumber scent.

Laundry products with harsh chemicals are not only bad for the water systems and environment, but can also be irritating and harmful to sensitive skin. Therefore, it’s incredibly important to wash with products that are gentle and non-irritating for softer clothes with no unhealthy added chemicals.

Powerful solutions for long-term protection
Damp and mould exposure can be detrimental to a person’s health. It has been proven to increase the likelihood of respiratory infections, allergies, and asthma, and can also have an impact on the immune system. On top of this, elderly people are known to be more sensitive to the health effects of damp and mould than others, so keeping their home clean from damp and mould is a priority.

For additional prevention and protection, our Damp, Mould & Moisture Trap protects from problems like damp, mildew, mould and dusty smells. Not like conventional dehumidifiers, the portable design means it can be used in any room you choose, effectively maintaining optimum humidity between 45% to 55%. Each pouch lasts up to 3 months, with refill pouches available.
