When was the last time you read the ingredients on the back of a bottle of traditional household cleaner? The long, meandering list of unfamiliar chemicals and hard-to-pronounce, potentially toxic substances that make up the average cleaning agent may raise a few alarm bells in your head. Is this safe for your home? Can it hurt your kids and pets?
Maid Brigade does away with worrying questions like these by using electrolyzed water to create a pure, clean environment that’s free of any past-product buildup and lacks harmful residues and odors. We’re thinking deeper than just eliminating dirt and grime. We’re thinking about your family’s health, and about how every surface has the potential to harbor germs, allergens, and irritants. In other words, we care about helping you create a safe, inviting home. We care about helping you create a space where you can thrive in your everyday life.
But what is electrolyzed water, exactly? How does it work, and what makes it safer and more effective than those chemical cleaning solutions we mentioned? Rest assured that this blog has all the answers and the assurance that a cleaning service that uses electrolyzed water to clean your home is providing only the highest quality disinfection techniques.
Electrolyzed Water: Understanding the Science
Also known as e-water, this cleaning solution relies on water, salt, and electricity to create the following components, which are just as powerful as they are eco-friendly:
- Hypochlorous Acid: This is a natural disinfectant. While it’s busy fighting off bacteria, viruses, and other harmful pathogens, it remains a non-toxic and totally safe cleaner for humans.
- Sodium Hydroxide: Eliminating germs is just one part of the cleaning equation. In order to sanitize and tackle grease and grime, sodium hydroxide is necessary to get floors and other surfaces squeaky clean and dirt-free. This includes cutting through the build up left behind from past products.
Electrolyzed Water and You: Safe, Powerful Cleanup
What could be safer than salt and water? Now that the science is clear, we want to truly explain the difference between e-water and the chemical cleaning solutions you’re likely more familiar with. Here’s why electrolyzed water is simply superior:
- Non-Toxic: Electrolyzed water is the key ingredient in a cleaning process that poses zero risks to your home’s health and safety. You’re safe, your kids are safe, and so are your pets and plants. There are no dyes, no phosphates, and, as we’ll explore later, no fragrances.
- Non-Corrosive: The two cleaning solutions we’ve described above work separately to clean and disinfect without corroding surfaces. The result is gentle yet effective, protecting your home from costly damage.
- No Synthetic Fragrance: Although electrolyzed water may produce a slight smell of chlorine, we can assure you that this is just a smell and not a harmful fragrance. This means the air in your home is safe to breathe and every surface and doorknob is safe to touch.
- No-Nonsense Cleaning Solution: Mold, mildew, bacteria, and viruses don’t stand a chance. The innovative, evidence-based, practical technology that makes electrolyzed water possible gives pure cleaning a new, higher standard.
Chemical cleaners just can’t measure up. Ammonia, bleach, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are linked to serious health concerns such as cancer and liver damage, and, unfortunately, they are the most common components of traditional household cleaners. And think about how corrosive bleach can be. Burns and irritation will result if it comes into contact with your skin or eyes, and things like wooden furniture and stainless steel appliances can suffer damage or loss of color when bleach is used as a cleaner.
Synthetic fragrances are also highly toxic, and yet their protected status as “trade secrets” allows them to be used even in “all natural” cleaning alternatives. In fact, one study found that out of 17 randomly selected natural cleaning products, a staggering 90% contained a harmful chemical that wasn’t listed on the label.
With so much happening behind the scenes and so many cleaning products to choose from, it can be hard to know what the right choice for your home’s health and safety are. You want to imagine a house that’s also a sanctuary, a haven you can return to at the end of the day without the worries of lingering chemicals or germs. You want genuine laughter, genuine relaxation, and a space where memories are safe to be made. That’s why Maid Brigade wants to emphasize the importance of a safe cleaner—the kind of professional who uses only green cleaning products and prioritizes your well-being alongside your cleaning.
