Why Green Cleaning Products Are Better for the Environment
Slow biodegradation with some cleaning chemicals can be harmful to water quality and aquatic life. Ingredients in SaferChoice® products are assessed for how well they break down in the environment. Their “bioaccumulative potential” is also evaluated. These metrics are used to determine the long term impact of cleaning agents on the environment.
Green cleaning products are designed to be non-irritating, non-toxic, and biodegradable. The goal of these products is to protect personal health while reducing air and water pollution.
Why Choose Merry Maids Green Cleaning Products
One of the best reasons to choose green cleaning services for your home is personal health. For individuals with asthma or allergies, green products are a great option. When exposed to harsh, traditional cleaning chemicals, some people experience irritation to the eyes, skin, or lungs. Because green products have lower VOCs, they are less likely to trigger irritation.
