A lot of people are talking about the health hazards of indoor air pollution these days, and they are significant, especially for people who suffer from asthma and specific types of allergies. As Atlanta carpet and duct cleaners, helping to maintain the indoor air quality of our customers is one of our primary functions. In addition to providing expert carpet and duct cleaning services, we also like to do all that we can to educate our customers so that they can better understand the causes of poor indoor air quality and take steps to keep the air that they are breathing clean and healthy.

Everyday household products are one of the most common and overlooked causes of indoor air pollution. Most of the typical products that we use to clean our homes, wash our clothes, and keep our bodies clean and fresh contain countless combinations of toxic chemicals that can impact our indoor air quality. As a duct and carpet cleaning company, we do a lot of research on the subject, and the American Lung Association offers the chart below that breaks down the common household products that cam diminish your indoor air quality.

If you take notice of the last type of household product that is covered in the chart, certain types of carpet and upholstery chemicals can have very harmful health effects. This is why Atlanta Duct Cleaning uses nothing but non-toxic, organic, environmentally friendly cleansing solutions. The green cleaning products that we use are tough on dirt, but very gentle on the environment.

The best defenses against the potentially damaging effects of these products is to use non-toxic versions, but if you do have to use them, use only as much as you need. Always make sure that you read the instructions and warnings on the labels, and when you can, contract the services of a professional who utilizes environmentally friendly alternatives to toxic chemicals.

The best way to keep your carpets and ducts clean without worrying about toxic chemical contamination is to contact the green cleaning team at Atlanta Carpet & Duct. We are standing by to serve your carpet and duct cleaning needs and we can be reached at (404) 509-8591.
