Title: Perfume Free, Non Toxic Natural Cleaning Products
Post by: suffolkclean on July 07, 2010, 02:12:04 pm
We have been booked to carry out an EOT including carpet cleaning & have now been told all products must be natural, non toxic & perfume free - Please advise on where to get these & what you recommend I have done a web search & these items are very expensive against the chemicals we use.

Also may need to post this on CC section but can you get Natural CC chemicals?

Many Thanks
Barbara

1 Clean the house with the normal products then ozone the house overnight - lie to the customer  :-X
2 Tell the customer such products don't exist and where they do you cannot say how effective they will be and how long it will take
3 Put in a price so expensive they will want normal products

MRD (mineral deposit remover) is non toxic (i think), bio-degrable, and i think unscented (at least i've never noticed a smell from it) and it's a fantastic lime scale remover, often better then the toxic lime scale removers suggested on here.

although vinegar and lemon have a fragrance i thought they don't have any perfume which is what's being asked. i can understand this request as i often have customers who say they react to any perfumes and tbh i find usually don't like the perfumes used in many products, even the eco ones. the issue with this clean is i bet the lady doesn't want to pay any extra for the request.

it's very possible to do a good eot clean using the products she has suggested on a house that isn't too bad. if it's say ex student then you'll most likely need stronger products like bleach to remove the mould.
