Do you know of any full time carpet cleaners who have died from many years of using product stronger than "Abstraction" or "Ecogent" ?

Over the years, I have heard from those professional Cleaners whom have , in their own and/or Doctors opinions, gotten cancer from using certain agents with solvents--particularly, dry cleaning agents.

 

That alone is pretty darn bad since the innocent individual has honestly provided a worthwhile service and labor to the customer. Then, unsuspecting, contracts cancer. And, the sad thing is that I suspect that many of those companies (still) formulating these products, know this very well too.

 

The beat goes on.....................

 

Good Fortune to all;

I personally spent many months in the hospital losing my gall bladder and it diseased my pancreas all because of a serious overdose of cleaning fluids. Atleast that's what the doctor diagnosed. They say I came close to death.

Does close count?

What about Red dyes, gum, coffee or tea and urine , As none of these
issues can be resolved with just mild soap and water.

I use a Non - Soap based detergent for a pre-spray and it is excellent ,
but specialty chemicals are almost a necessity in this business for taking
care of those things above.

Handled with care I think the risks are minimized, but will never be
eliminated.

New natural products are being produced all the time so I hope we can
eventually not have to use chemicals that are dangerous.

soap..... gard...pog....brown out...haitian ...and deo... are still all
chemicals ! ( I didn't quite understand Steamer, You do, or do not use any
of these???)

A painter breathes fumes
A lawn service breathes insecticides and fertilizers.
A bartender breathes Smoke.
And Cancer kills friends and family. I hope they keep pushing for more
environmentally friendly chemicals .

We need more of them thats for sure. ( environmentally safe chemicals) !
