Traditional cleaning products often contain a cocktail of harsh chemicals, fragrances, and irritants designed to kill germs and leave surfaces sparkling clean. However, many of these chemicals can linger in the air long after cleaning, leading to indoor air pollution and triggering respiratory problems for employees. Ingredients such as ammonia, bleach, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been linked to asthma attacks, allergic reactions, and other respiratory issues, posing a significant risk to employee health.

In a recent article published in Cleaning Hygiene Today, Viking Pure’s Joshua Schwartz, President and Co-Founder, covers how conventional cleaning products can contribute to respiratory issues such as asthma and allergies among employees, and what building managers can do about it.
