We can reduce our exposure to certain chemicals that we know are harmful by avoiding products that contain them and by using cleaning methods that safely and effectively remove dust. (Green Cleaning Recipes)
ACAT’s green cleaning service is good for your health. Did you know, Alaskans spend most of their time indoors exposed to toxic chemicals found in regular cleaning products? According to scientific evidence these toxic chemicals are the cause of many of our health issues. Many cleaning products marketed as “green” often contain chemicals that are harmful to people’s health.

By using non-toxic cleaning products, we decrease your exposure to harmful chemicals. ACAT’s Green Cleaning Service is the perfect alternative for a healthier you. Sign up for a free estimate.

Indoor Air Contaminants
Contaminants from a variety of sources are widespread in our homes. Many common household products are made with toxic chemicals that have been linked to a range of adverse health effects including reproductive, neurological and developmental harm, asthma, cancers and other diseases.
Sources of contamination include synthetic chemicals found in some cleaning products, upholstered furniture, electronics, food packaging, baby products, children’s toys, and other household items. Household pest control chemicals, vinyl flooring, and PVC shower curtains are other common sources of pollution in the home.
Exposure may occur through direct contact with products that contain harmful chemicals, through inhalation of polluted indoor air, and through ingestion of contaminated food, beverages, or dust particles. Sign up for a free estimate.
Household Dust
Household dust is a significant source of harmful chemical exposure in the home environment.
Certain toxic chemicals are volatile and once released from products, will bind to household dust. These volatile chemicals from household products include bisphenol-A (BPA), phthalates, perfluorinatedchemicals (PFCs), and a class of toxic flame retardant chemicals known as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). Other contaminants, such as pesticides and heavy metals, may be tracked into the home from outdoors and may also be found in household dust. Sign up for a free estimate.
Young children are especially vulnerable to exposure to contaminated dust:
- Children, especially babies and toddlers, spend much of their time on the floor where dust settles.
- Childrens’ hand-to-mouth behavior increases the chance they will ingest contaminated dust particles.
