As a resident of Los Angeles, you're likely no stranger to the city's unique blend of sunny weather, smoggy skies, and strict environmental regulations. When it comes to keeping your home clean and safe, the type of cleaning products you use can make all the difference. In this post, we'll explore the benefits of eco-friendly cleaning products vs traditional chemicals in LA, and why The Detail Crew chooses to use plant-based products in our home cleaning services.
The Problem with Traditional Cleaning Chemicals.
According to the California Air Resources Board, indoor air pollution is a significant concern in California, with many common household cleaning products containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can contribute to poor air quality. Exposure to VOCs has been linked to a range of health problems, including respiratory issues, headaches, and even cancer. In fact, a study published in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology found that indoor air pollution can be up to 5 times worse than outdoor air pollution in urban areas like LA (1).
In addition to the health risks, traditional cleaning chemicals can also harm the environment. Many contain harsh chemicals that can contaminate soil and waterways, and even contribute to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. A report by the Environmental Working Group found that over 75% of cleaning products contain chemicals that are linked to hormone disruption, cancer, or other health problems (2).
The Benefits of Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products.
Eco-friendly cleaning products, on the other hand, are designed to be safer for people and the planet.
