Do you ever get itchy eyes or a sore throat when you’re inside? What about headaches or dizziness, or fatigue? These symptoms are prevalent and may be caused by indoor air quality issues. In fact, according to the EPA, some people even experience ‘sick building syndrome‘ when they regularly enter buildings with poor air quality. They will report these symptoms while in the building, but the symptoms disappear once they leave the building.
Poor air quality is an indicator of indoor air pollution. Several factors can reduce indoor air quality, including dust mites, poor ventilation, and cleaning products. That’s why highly concentrated cleaning products should always be handled with care and trained professionals. Some of the most common pollutants in cleaning solutions are called monoterpenes. These chemicals give cleaning solutions a fresh, lemon, or pine scent. These chemicals in high concentrations and poorly ventilated spaces will act as pollutants and lower air quality.
These chemicals can cause significant side effects, including headaches irritation to airways, and may even lead to organ damage or cancer with extensive exposure. A recent study from Indiana University, replicating the typical use of cleaning products with these chemicals, found that the air quality after cleaning was the equivalent of traffic pollution on a busy street.
As a commercial cleaning company, we know that you want to protect your employees and customers by thoroughly cleaning your business without releasing air pollutant chemicals. We have a solution that may help, the MicroShield 360 system.
The MicroShield 360 system is an antimicrobial coating sprayed using electrostatic technology by our trained professionals. This coating is approved for use on various surfaces, including food preparation surfaces. Once this coating is evenly distributed using electrostatic technology, the solution adheres to the surface and forms a protective barrier that prevents the growth of bacteria, germs, viruses, and mold. The best part is that the results last for up to one year, and we offer regular spot checks and testing to ensure that the solution is still working.
This antimicrobial coating is a great way to ensure that your business stays clean without using heavy chemicals. It can give you peace of mind because you know that solution prevents bacteria, germ, and virus growth upon contact. Instead, you can use less concentrated cleaning solutions or even water to remove dirt and grime. It’s a great way to cut down your exposure to harmful chemical irritants and improve the air quality in your business.
