Clean Chemicals
Hotel Business Review|July - August 2023
Ignoring the harms associated with the usage of low quality or higher quantity of cleaning chemicals could be hazardous for workers
Clean Chemicals

While purchasing cleaning chemicals there are various things one should look for. Managers should W find out if the chemical formulation contains ingredients that are harmful to those who might breathe its vapours. Will the chemical burn skin? Does it contain carcinogens, or known cancer causing ingredients? Can the over exposure to the chemical fumes cause Tuberculosis? How will the product impact the environment?

These are some the questions that the managers should ask in order to ask for the right cleaning chemicals.

Right Choice

As buying chemicals has major implications, especially because all products cannot be deemed safe, managers must do their research, deciphering labels and ask vendors and suppliers lots of questions to find out if the product lives up to its claims. They must develop database of the harmful chemicals found in the cleaning products.

For example, some carpet spot removers contain a solvent called butoxyethanel, which when absorbed through skin, can damage blood and major body organs, and also can harm the developing fetus in pregnant women. This solvent is also found in some floor strippers. Building occupants might be sensitive to the solvent's vapours or residue.
