Our health can be negatively affected by all sorts of cleaning chemicals that includes: ammonia solution, calcium hypochlorite (powdered bleach), citric acid , sodium hypochlorite (liquid bleach), Sodium hydroxide (lye) , acetic acid (vinegar), borax, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), tetrachloroethylene (dry cleaning), carbon dioxide, chromic acid, trisodium phosphate, sodium percarbonate, sodium perborate, acetone (can damage plastics), Amyl nitrite and other nitrites, Xylene and so on.

Cleaning chemicals can come as a foam, bleach or disinfectant to make our dishes, bathtubs, and countertops gleaming and germ-free. But are you aware that they can:

• Cause indoor air pollution (poisonous if ingested).
• Be harmful if inhaled or touched.
• Trigger allergic skin reactions.

Fragrances added to many cleaners may also cause acute effects such as respiratory irritation, headaches, sneezing, and watery eyes in sensitive individuals or allergy and asthma sufferers.

Here at A&P Maintenance Services Pte. Ltd., we understand the importance of using environmentally-friendly products. This ensures our employees are not breathing polluted air, and minimises skin irritation.

IF YOU HAVE THE CHOICE TO WORK AT A DUST-, DIRT- AND BACTERIA-FREE ENVIRONMENT, WHY NOT GO FOR IT?

The majority of commercial vacuum cleaners release a great deal of dust, dirt and other contaminants into the air. In contrast, vacuuming with a HEPA filtration vacuum has been proven to improve air quality by removing up to 99.97% of dust, dirt, bacteria and allergens.
