Health Officials Sound the Alarm on the Use of Disinfectants:

Bloomberg just published an article that reinforces concerns over rampant use of disinfectants.

​Following up our last blog post, the Bloomberg article goes into some depth about the potential risks of using disinfectants. 
While the EPA-registered products on List N have undergone a great deal of safety testing within certain limits, health experts warn that increased exposure increases their potential risks.

“Cleaners tend to go in with hugely toxic chemicals. We’re creating another problem for a whole group of people, and I’m not sure we’re actually controlling infections.” – Dr. Claudia Miller

​Electrostatic Sprayers:
Another area of concern is the use of electrostatic sprayers. Although this can be an efficient way to cover large areas quickly, very few of the products on List N are approved to be used in these sprayers, and the risks of this method of application are still being studied for disinfectants in general.

What Disinfectants Should I Use to Combat COVID-19?

1. Seek out disinfectants with a favorable toxicity profile. Check out their ingredients and potential risks. Every product Peach State Cleaning Solutions uses has a relevant SDS sheet, and can also be found on the EnvirOx website. 

2. There are no products on List N that aren’t Disinfectants. You MUST still incorporate cleaning products into your cleaning. It’s more important than ever to use cleaning products that do not have their own toxic components. Use green-certified or EPA-registered cleaning products that will help prepare surfaces for disinfectants and clean up the residue left behind by those disinfectants.
