Health Benefits of Green Cleaning

One of the greatest benefits of using green cleaning products is the effect they have on your health. If you have asthma or other breathing difficulties, traditional cleaning products, especially some aerosol cleaning sprays, may have an irritating effect. When you use these products you may be left feeling breathless or have a persistent tickle in your throat.

According to the American Thoracic Society's American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine:

"The researchers found that cleaning sprays, especially air fresheners, furniture cleaners and glass-cleaners, had a particularly strong effect [in creating asthma symptoms]."

"Frequent use of household cleaning sprays may be an important risk factor for adult asthma ...The relative risk rates of developing adult asthma in relation to exposure to cleaning products could account for as much as 15 percent, or one in seven of adult asthma cases."

However, there is a solution that can help improve your health; environmentally friendly cleaning products. Many traditional cleaning products contain chemicals that are potentially dangerous if used incorrectly, which is why it’s important for people to promote a healthier living condition by using green products. Green spray cans are now using carbon dioxide as an alternative to aliphatic hydrocarbon, which is used in traditional aerosol sprays. The CO2 provides many advantages; it’s non-flammable, essentially non-toxic and doesn’t fall within the definition of VOC (volatile organic compounds).
