Low Exposure Risk — Why This Product Category Matters

Conventional cleaning products contain synthetic fragrances (a mixture of up to 3,000 chemicals), chlorine bleach, ammonia, and other harsh chemicals that off-gas into indoor air. Indoor air quality is often 2-5 times worse than outdoor air quality due to cleaning product residues. Children playing on floors are most exposed to cleaning product residues.
