About Imus Greening the Cleaning® products

Today's cleaning products contain many chemicals that may be harmful to your health and the health of your children. Because indoor pollutants are not as easily dispersed as outdoor pollutants, concentrations of toxic chemicals may be much greater indoors.

Health effects from some household products can be acute or chronic. Acute effects are short-term and can include such symptoms as headaches, eye and/or throat irritation, or even nausea. Acute effects also include triggering of asthma attacks or allergic reactions. Chronic effects are those long term effects such as cancer, chemicals that can affect the unborn, and neurotoxins (nervous system effects).
