Common Concerns
Allergies/Asthma
The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Mayo Clinic recommend maintaining a dust-free home to decrease symptoms of allergies and asthma.

Why it's a Concern Airborne allergens travel through the air, becoming embedded in carpeting, drapes, and furniture, and sticking to surfaces throughout the home. Common Allergy and Asthma Triggers in the Home:
|
How We Address the Issue All of our products are hypoallergenic, food-safe, and residue-free. Our tools and techniques are carefully designed to remove allergens at the source:
|
Cleaning Products
|
Why it's a Concern Many cleaning products contain substances that cause damage to surfaces and finishes, or lead to serious health problems. Some leave sticky residues that release toxins over time, and attract dust and pathogens. |
How We Address the Issue Our products are scratch-free, fragrance-free, residue-free, and non-toxic. We use only 5 products:
|
Cross-Contamination
|
Why it's a Concern Incorrect cleaning practices can transfer contaminants from surface to surface, room to room, or house to house, creating a potential health risk. |

Dust
"Dust is the #1 health concern in the home." – the EPA

"House dust mites are the source of one of the most powerful biological allergens." – the EPA
|

Immunodeficiency
|
Why it's a Concern A weakened or compromised immune system leaves the body highly susceptible to disease and infection. |
How We Address the Issue All of our products are ideal for people with immunodeficiencies. Many of our tools and techniques are drawn from the latest developments in hospital cleaning.
|
Mold/Mildew
|
Why it's a Concern Molds and mildews release disease-causing toxins. These microscopic spores float through the air like pollen, and multiply in damp areas like drains, showers, and windows. The health risks are much greater if an infestation develops. |
How We Address the Issue
|
Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS)
|
Why it's a Concern MCS may be likened to an allergy where the irritants are Chemicals and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) such as:
|
How We Address the Issue Our products, tools and techniques have been selected and designed to be hypoallergenic, non-irritating, and residue-free. Our regular cleanings will remove, and/or reduce the presence of chemical irritants. |
Pets & Children
|
Why it's a Concern Children and pets are far more sensitive than adults to pathogens and toxic substances in the home environment, and they may experience higher rates of exposure, particularly at floor-level. |
How We Address the Issue
|
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)
|
Why it's a Concern Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are carbon-based molecules that evaporate at room temperature, emitting odors and toxins into the air, which can cause a number of health problems. VOCs are emitted by a wide array of products, such as:
