Cleaning products are necessary for maintaining attractive and healthful Conditions in the home and workplace. In addition to the obvious aesthetic benefits of cleansing, the removal of allergens, dust, and infectious agents is vital to maintaining a healthy indoor environment. But cleaning products can present several health and ecological concerns. They may contain chemicals related to skin, eye, or respiratory irritation, or other individual health issues. Moreover, the concentrated forms of a few industrial cleaning products are categorized as hazardous, creating potential handling, storage, and disposal problems for consumers. Reducing the human health and ecological concerns is a significant incentive for executing an EPP cleaning products program.
