Earth & People Friendly Cleaning Supplies For Your Spa

Look around at your sanitization equipment. Are you using products that pollute our water or our air, or actually hurt your guests? You created your spa concept around the health, well-being, pleasure and renewal of your guests. Why not the well-being of the eco-system in which you, your spa and your guests exist? Yes, it might cost a few pennies more, but isn’t our Earth and your guests worth losing a small percentage of that profit your spa produces? Consider these ideas and products:

LAUNDRY DETERGENT: EVERY SPA NEEDS IT FOR THOSE TOWELS, SHEETS AND ROBES.

Most laundry detergents contain synthetic fragrances and DEA (Diethanolamine).
The topical application of DEA was found to be associated with DEA-related cancer in lab animals in a study conducted by the National Toxicology Program.
Synthetic fragrances can cause allergic reactions. Remember that concept about the well-being and health of your guest?

And the beauty of these products is that they are biodegradable and friendly to the earth as well as to your guests.

AND WHAT ABOUT THE BLEACH FOR THOSE WHITES?

Bleach is chlorine which causes atmospheric ozone loss, and its byproduct, dioxin, has been linked to cancer and reproductive disorders.

SANITIZATION: EVERY SPA NEEDS TO CLEAN EQUPMENT USED IN SPA SERVICES AND AMENITIES.

One sanitizer is automatic dishwashing powder. Most of these powders contain chlorine, synthetic dyes and fragrances, and again that terrible DEA (see the section under laundry detergent). One study at the University of Texas found that dishwashers were a significant source of hazardous fumes, polluting our air with 100% efficiency.

WHERE TO TURN?

Seventh Generation Automatic Dishwashing Detergent at www.seventhgen.com

Best of all, this dishwashing detergent is non-toxic, biodegradable, has no chlorine or phosphates and friendly to the health of your guests and the health of the Earth.

ALL-PURPOSE CLEANERS: EVERY SPA NEEDS IT FOR THOSE SURFACES

Most cleaners contain solvents, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s which are a class of airborne toxins), ammonia, petroleum, synthetic fragrances. There are also cleaning boosters added to many cleaners that are toxic and non-biodegradable.

WHERE TO TURN?

GLASS CLEANERS: EVERY SPA NEEDS IT FOR THOSE MIRRORS, GLASS COUNTERS AND WINDOWS

Most glass cleaners have solvents, alcohols, ammonia, and glycol ethers. Ammonia is a respiratory irritant and glycol ethers have been linked to organ damage.

WHERE TO TURN?

Seventh Generation Glass & Surface Cleaner at www.seventhgen.com

CARPET CLEANERS: EVERY SPA NEEDS IT TO REMOVE STAINS FROM CARPETED AREAS

Carpet cleaners and stain removers often contain alcohols, synthetic fragrances, chlorine, petroleum, glycol ethers, phosphates, and dyes. So you have the toxic pollution for the body and the air we discussed earlier.
