SWITCHING TO ECO FRIENDLY CAN HELP

Improved Air Quality
Traditional cleaning products often release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air, contributing to poor indoor air quality. Studies show that reducing pollutants in the air and providing adequate ventilation can increase the cognitive performance of employees, improve their concentration, and reduce errors. In addition, clean air quality contributes to a decrease in absenteeism rates. Eco-friendly cleaning products are made from 100% plant-based ingredients free from harsh chemicals and toxins. They contribute to improving indoor air quality and reducing the risk of respiratory problems.

Some VOCs give off distinctive odours at higher levels, they may still be present even if you can't smell them.
Extended exposure to VOCs in our offices and buildings can have adverse effects on our health. These health effects can range from fatigue, nausea, dizziness, headaches, allergic reactions, eye irritation, nose irritation, throat irritation, respiratory irritation, and skin irritations. Who is at greatest risk? Everyone including children, seniors, pregnant people, people with existing health conditions such as asthma, chronic pulmonary disease or bronchitis.
