Green Cleaning

Helping Hands, Inc. is concerned about our environment and the impact of harmful cleaning chemicals used in your home and office.  If dirt, dust and germs are removed from your home with harsh chemicals, what is removing the harsh chemicals from your home? Ironically, conventional cleaning chemicals actually increase indoor pollution and promote health problems.

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, the air inside a typical home is, on average, 2 to 5 times more polluted than the air just outside – and in extreme cases 100 times more contaminated – largely because of household cleaners and pesticides.

Today, improvements in environmentally safe cleaning products have nearly eliminated the need for harsh cleaning chemicals and the environmental benefits translate to real health benefits for both our clients and our employees.

Poor quality indoor air can produce health effects ranging from headaches and dry eyes to nausea, dizziness, and fatigue.

Many of these pollutants are from cleaning chemicals used today. Eliminating these harmful cleaning chemicals from your environment can help minimize adverse effects to your health.

Using green cleaning products that are non toxic, organic and/or natural will greatly reduce your exposure to harmful products in your home or office and protect your family and employees from the adverse health effects. You don’t have to be an environmentalist to desire a healthy workplace and home for yourself. Since the green cleaning methods are just as good as toxic cleaning, why would you risk cleaning any other way? Pets can also be vulnerable as many of the harmful cleaning chemicals used end up on your floors and bathrooms where your loved pets are most at risk. Their natural instinct to sniff and lick everything, their smaller size and their proximity to the ground where a lot of cleaning products residual toxins are left behind, makes it so that they are even more exposed than we are in many cases.
