All you really have to do is to check the MSDS that each manufacturer is obliged to supply with their product and it will give you the breakdown of exactly what dangerous chemicals there are in it and what hazards are associated with it as well... if you aren't doing that already, you are being extremely foolish!
All those items listed above have been known for years as harmful and are being phased out or banned... use anything containing them at your own peril  (apart from sodium carbonate which is a food additive (E500) that we all use quite happily!) |

Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?

Look for it in anti-fungals we use maybe. I found some reference to it causing female fish to grow male organs and male fish developing egg sacks. Something about sea otters and dolphins too. I haven't been cleaning carpet for sea otters or dolphins and if anything I would send the crap to denmark where they can use it for their sex change operations.
Mixes well with bacardi over ice. |

Solvents : Acids and other corrosive chemicals: Mildewcides and Disinfectants: Other chemicals: You can find out if a carpet cleaning product you use or are considering contains any of these ingredients on the Household Products Database, produced by the National Institutes of Health. You can also search by ingredient. |
