Cleaning Products
Our living environment is constantly becoming soiled by dirt, spills, airborne particles etc. If all soils could be cleaned by water alone, there would be far fewer people suffering from chemical-related injuries and illnesses, not to mention less damage to our ecosystem.
However, we need to use cleaning products to achieve the levels of cleanliness we require. Many of these products that are being used to create a healthy living environment may also be adversely affecting our health and the environment at large. An Environics survey done on behalf of Health Canada pointed out that the #1 environmental concern for Canadians today is air quality.
- Indoor Air Pollutants may be 2 to 5 times and sometimes 100 times greater than outdoors.
- Half of all the 115,000 schools in the USA were found to have problems linked to IAQ.
- Indoor Air Pollution is estimated to cause thousands of cancer deaths and hundreds of thousands of respiratory health problems annually.
- Indoor Air Pollution rank among the top 5 environmental risks to public health.
- Most people spend about 90% of their time indoors.
- The American Lung Association reports that occupational lung disease is the #1 work related illness in the USA.
- According to American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (AAAI), more than 50 million Americans suffer from allergies. All too often, fragrance sensitivity is the trigger.
- The American Lung Association says that 72% of asthma attacks are caused by perfume.
- A 1991 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) study of 31 fragrance products found the majority contained volatile organic compounds known to cause serious health problems (headaches, nausea, nasal congestion, shortness of breath), as well as cancer.
Using a true eco-friendly green cleaning product such as Eco-Max® can not only protect you and your business, but can also decrease Indoor Air Pollution, which ranks among the top 5 environmental risks to public health and is the responsible for thousands of cancer deaths and hundreds of thousands of respiratory health problems every year.
Our line of Eco-Max® Products are a revolutionary breakthrough in green cleaning technology, using the potent cleaning properties of various ingredients derived from natural, biodegradable, renewable and sustainable botanical resources. This line of products is non-WHMIS regulated.
Eco-Max® Cleaning products are ideal for daily use in a multitude of applications. However, a few difficult cleaning applications such as removal of rust and scale may require the use of a heavier duty WHMIS-regulated product - Prism Environmental™ heavy duty cleaning products.
Our line of Prism Environmental® heavy duty cleaning products are formulated to provide maximum cleaning performance with minimized health and environmental impact.
Prism Environmental™ products do not contain many of the hazardous ingredients commonly used in traditional heavy duty products, such as Sulphuric Acid, Hydrochloric Acid, Nitric Acid or Phosphoric Acid. As a result, Prism Environmental™ products are a much safer, healthier choice compared to the toxic alternatives.
If you're using a toxic product right now are unable to find an eco-friendly alternative product in our catalogue, please send us your MSDS & we may be able to create a product for you that is much less toxic, and will therefore have a much smaller impact, if any, on the environment and the health of those using it/exposed to it.
