Dust Bunnies
Date: June 19, 2008 | Category: Cleaning, Kitchen, The Home
Some five years ago I was having my house cleaned when it struck me that I always had chest pains on cleaning day and that the chemicals in my household detergents and supplies must be contributing to my children’s asthma. The fact that their asthma and my bronchitis instantly improved after changing products is enough empirical evidence for me. Strangely it was not easy to convince my cleaning lady that she needed to use different products - she was set in her ways. Luckily now there are cleaning services devoted exclusively to green cleaning, like Maid Brigade. The Green Clean Certified system guarantees that the products used are kind to the environment and to your health. Products meet criteria such as no carcinogens, no human or aquatic toxins, no reproductive toxins, non-corrosive to eyes and skin, low VOCs, non-flammable and formulated (and packaged!) for a low enviro-impact. When it comes to sweeping up dust bunnies, the Maid Brigade team uses ProTeam 4-stage filtration vacuums, which remove three times more particle matter from the air than their sucky counterparts. Other essential Maid Brigade tools include microfiber cloths and mops. Check out the site’s GREEN TV. If you aren’t in the market for a cleaner, maybe you will get some ideas about how to do it yourself!
