Choosing cleaning products can feel complicated when labels promise a natural clean but ingredients and claims are hard to compare. For homeowners in Blacksburg and Christiansburg, the useful first step is to ask clear questions about the products used in your home.
What does “natural” tell you?
The word “natural” does not describe a single standard or guarantee that a product is safer or more effective. Check the ingredient information and follow the label directions. If a product’s ingredients are unclear, ask the manufacturer for more detail.
What are PFAS
PFAS is a broad group of chemicals used in some products for properties such as resistance to water, oil or heat. The presence, use and potential effects of specific PFAS depend on the chemical and exposure. Avoid assuming that every product marketed as natural contains PFAS, or that a label alone proves a product is PFAS-free.
Questions to ask a cleaning provider
- Which products do you use in my home?
- Can I review product labels or ingredient information?
- Can you use a product I provide, if I prefer?
- How do you follow the manufacturer’s directions
