Extreme Green Cleaning: Cleaning without chemicals

Studies by the U.S. Department of Environmental Protection have shown that using less toxic and chemical-free cleaning products and processes have effectively reduced the absenteeism rates in schools; resulting in lowering reported asthma and other respiratory ailments associated with poor air quality created by traditional cleaning products.

Chemical Free Cleaning implies that the act of cleaning must leave no chemical residual in the air or on any surface. There must be no toxic result to the user or building occupants including allergic reactions, and there must be no insult to the environment as a result of the cleaning technology used. Chemical Free Cleaning is therefore based on the empowerment of water. Several new and emerging technologies show considerable promise in cleaning and biocidal effectiveness.
