Here’s an inconvenient truth: the majority of cleaning products are more harmful than beneficial. Sure, that brand-name spray will dissolve the grease off the countertop, but the chemicals and preservatives can induce allergies in anyone with sensitivities. Cleaning products affect indoor air quality more than you might think, so be selective about your choice of cleaners.

How Do Cleaning Products Erode Indoor Air?

Common window, furniture, and countertop sprays emit chemicals, such as glycol and terpenes. These are hazardous endocrine disruptors that can worsen allergic symptoms. These chemicals are also present in other everyday items, such as:

Floor polishers
Chlorine bleach
Dishwashing detergents
Air freshener sprays
Toilet bowl cleaners

When researching cleaners, diligently read the label and steer clear of products with the following compounds:

Ammonia
Sodium hydroxide
Triclosan
Perchloroethylene, or “PERC”
Phthalates, a mainstay ingredient in air fresheners

Ways to Enhance Indoor Air Quality in Everett

We suggest using only all-natural cleaners. Avoid lemon or pine-scented products, especially during peak allergy months. When applicable, just stick to lukewarm water and soap. This is as simple of a cleaning formula as it gets, but it’s sufficient as a cleaner.

Air circulation also needs to be sufficient. Apart from leaving windows and doors open, your air ducts also need to be in a healthy usable condition. We suggest avoiding using ionizers, electrostatic precipitators, or other home purifying appliances during cleaning. These devices emit ozone, which may react with airborne cleaning chemicals and create hazardous fumes.

Called Aurora Edmonds Furnace Cleaning to get the exhaust for our Oil Furance and Dryer vent cleaned. Spoke with someone promptly and they got me scheduled quickly. Cleaners arrived on time, explained what they were doing, and were very thorough in their cleaning.

I needed to get the ducts and the fan cleaned. In the vents Jay found stuff my teengage kids played with when they were babies which tells me that the previos company I hired didn't do a good job. Everything is clean, I had a lot of questions and everything got answered. Other than cleaning the fan and ducts, Jay fixed the grid, the datached vents - thank you for helping me to keep my home clean! In my opinion this a much better quality work than most other companies out here.

Mike and Andrew cleaned out my dryer vent. We had never moved the dryer before to realize there was a hole in our vent duct that was leaking lint into our wall. They also cleaned out the wall cavity and applied metal duct tape to seal the vent until a replacement duct can be installed. Their thoughtfulness and above and beyond work helped save our home from a potential and hidden fire-danger. Thank you!

I called so many different companies and none of them would clean my dryer vent because of its odd location. I found AEF and they where able to come out the next day to find the problem with my vent. The technicians where super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I will be calling AEF again in the future.

Great and timely service in a friendly but professional manner. I called a month after the service with a question and the owner dropped by personally to make sure everything was working properly. Beer impressive!
