EDTA-Free Cleaning
Cleanie avoids products containing EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), a common ingredient in household cleaners. EDTA is a persistent pollutant that doesn’t easily break down in nature, leading to environmental contamination. It also contributes to the remobilisation of heavy metals, posing potential risks to both people and animals. By eliminating EDTA, we protect your home and the planet.
APE-Free Products
We do not use cleaning products that contain APEs (alkylphenol ethoxylates). When APEs degrade in the environment, they form nonylphenols, harmful chemicals that can contaminate the food chain and are lethal to aquatic life even at low concentrations. Nonylphenols can also disrupt development in animals and humans. At Cleanie, we ensure that your cleaning services are free from these dangerous chemicals.
VOC-Free Solutions
Cleanie ensures that our cleaning products are free from Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). VOCs are organic chemicals that easily evaporate at room temperature, contributing to indoor air pollution. These compounds can negatively impact respiratory health, particularly for those with underlying bronchial conditions. Our VOC-free approach helps maintain clean, fresh air in your home, safeguarding your health.
Phosphate and Phosphonate-Free Cleaning
Cleanie does not use products containing phosphates or phosphonates. These substances, commonly found in household cleaners, contribute to phosphorus pollution in waterways, leading to eutrophication. This process causes excessive algae growth, which depletes oxygen in the water and results in the death of fish and other aquatic organisms. By choosing phosphate and phosphonate-free products, Cleanie protects aquatic ecosystems and promotes a healthier environment.
