House Cleaning Statistics

Interesting Facts.

Below are some interesting facts relating to the harmful effects on the environment caused by chemicals found in traditional cleansers.

1. According to the Groundwater Foundation in Lincoln, NE, improper disposal of industrial chlorinated hydrocarbons found in household chemicals constitute a major risk to groundwater. A major push for businesses to switch to non-chlorinated solvents is underway in various communities across the country. Business owners can often obtain educational materials, attend workshops, and receive technical assistance needed to help businesses switch to safer cleaners.

2. According to the Columbia University College of P & S Complete Home Medical Guide, many household chemicals have been shown to trigger asthma attacks in people with a history of asthma. Common household chemicals that such people should avoid or use a mask when working with include: paints and pain thinner, hairspray, chlorine bleach, spray starch, room deodorizers, spray furniture polish, cleaning solvents, and perfumes.

3. From the Minnesota Office of Environmental Assistance, certain discarded household chemicals have the potential to become hazardous waste, infecting the groundwater and other environmental areas. That’s because many household cleaners include the same chemicals as strictly regulated industrial waste. Although individual households may only discard a small amount, the numbers of households disposing of such chemicals can pose a serious environmental threat.

4. The typical American household is the number one violator of chemical waste per the EPA.
