The average American home contains 62 toxic chemicals, according to environmental health researchers. Many of these come directly from conventional cleaning products. At Wasatch Cleaners, we made the switch to eco-friendly products -- and the results speak for themselves.
The Problem With Conventional Cleaners
Most commercial cleaning products contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), synthetic fragrances, and harsh chemicals like ammonia and chlorine bleach. These substances do not just clean your surfaces -- they linger in the air you breathe and can cause:
- Respiratory irritation, especially for children and those with asthma
- Skin allergies and contact dermatitis
- Headaches and dizziness from chemical fumes
- Long-term hormone disruption from certain ingredients
- Environmental damage when washed down drains
What Makes a Product Eco-Friendly?
Genuinely green cleaning products are plant-based, biodegradable, free from synthetic fragrances, and never tested on animals. Look for certifications like EPA Safer Choice, Green Seal, or EWG Verified. Be wary of "greenwashing" -- products that claim to be natural but still contain harmful ingredients.
Do They Actually Work?
This is the question we get most often, and the answer is a definitive yes. Modern eco-friendly formulations are remarkably effective. Enzyme-based cleaners break down organic matter just as well as harsh chemicals. Plant-derived surfactants cut through grease beautifully. Hydrogen peroxide solutions sanitize effectively without bleach fumes.
