We all use different types of cleaning chemicals but how natural are they?

Pre sprays, extraction chemicals and spotting agents ( espcially these)

How 'natural' are they and what describes natural to unnatural?

Shaun

PS The wife puts mosturiser on her face I would describe that as natural but probably the wife as unnatural

Shaun,

I would not concern myself over natural or synthetic - many of the most toxic substances known to man are completely natural.

Shaun, as with all chemicals you use, ask the supplying company for a COSHH sheet. These should then be kept in a folder on your van just in case you get a chemical in your eyes or on your skin. If you should need hospital treatment these sheets will be invaluble.

These sheets will also tell you the main 'ingredients' used in the composition.

JB- Shame women don't come with a risk assessment & COSHH sheet, it would be much easier to choose the right one. We could see all chemical compositions at a glance, then try and find one thats balanced.

I'm in trouble now!!

The problem is that the chemical balance changes (monthly I believe!!) so any COSHH data becomes out of date very quickly.

Hi Guys

In for a penny...

The chemical balance changes far less often that their minds

ps...I have a question?

Women, my dearly beloved in particular, loves to inform me that 'us' men cannot 'multitask' like wot women can!

I asked her what was meant by multitasking.. 9I like to live dangerously)

Apparently it is the ability to do the washing up, look after the children and cook all at the same time.. when I said that I could do that I was told in no uncertain terms that.. "I just couldn't/wouldn't accept that women could multitask and men apparently can't"

Surely we 'men' get one job out of the way before taking on another in normal circumstances..but I am sure that if the need arose we could multitask.... perhaps it is just a male ploy to make the little ladies feel important....ducks hastily

As you are probably aware, I was an "Honorary Mother" for quite a few years during the last century. All I needed to do was apply the discipline of my working life to looking after my home and children. After all, if a woman can do it, it's easy for man

Multi tasks = jack of all trades master of non

Shaun

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Anyway back to the original question, if I were to use any water based pre spray and any hwe detergent and advertised it as being natural would that be true?

Shaun

[Doug Holloway]

Shaun,

It is very unlikely that a detergent will occur naturally BUT it will biodegrade so you could claim something along the lines of;

'All our cleaning chemicals are made from naturally occurring materials , which when they have finished cleaning your furnishings, will breakdown and return to nature .'
'protecting nature by using its own ingredients'

Pretty meaningless from a scientific point of view but could be good marketing!

Cheers,

Doug,

You would make a great second-hand car salesman  

how about:

"EVERYTHING on this planet, including any space debris, is made of naturally occurring materials".

Or we could be cosmic and substitue "universe" for "planet"  

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Wasn't there a bloke called Slartibartfarst that made planets in the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy?

Shaun

[Dave Parry]

No he just designed Norway, and won an award for his Fjiords.
