Do youself a favour and Substitute Dangerous Chemicals today

I ask myself why do we continue to make buying decisions at work that differ from what we would do at home?

Recently, I purchased some products from the local hardware store to conduct a few simple tests, hoping to see how the traditionally-used products compared with and differed from Envirofluid's https://envirofluid.com . It’s been such a long time since I have had harsh chemicals, that required gloves, ventilation, and careful use, inside my home had difficulty handling the toxic stuff, and found them difficult to dispose of.

What I also found after completing the bench tests was clear; the Envirofluid products worked the same, or better, than their harsh and toxic counterparts. In addition to the benefits of being plant-based, non-toxic, and high performing, the prices of Envirofluid products were comparable, or less, than the products currently being used. The impression of the change that is made with my household chemicals made me think of the questions we should ask ourselves at work. Why don't we use safer, cleaner, greener products to help get the job done without kicking the toxic can down the road?

So, what should be done with our industries, who, through historical practices, don’t have incentives to look for new or more advanced products? Shouldn't biobased products be as easily understood as their hazardous counterparts? Isn’t a degreaser a degreaser? A hydraulic fluid a hydraulic fluid? The differences are that Envirofluid's products are biobased, safe to use without hazmat suits or gloves, can be shipped in concentrated form so customers are not paying to transport water, and biodegradable; but they are all still rigorously performance-tested.

Shouldn't these factors influence buying decisions and what about the fact that you don’t need to get a special permit to dispose of the cleaner because it doesn’t require it, or that you don’t need a special permit to transport the products? Why would we go through the trouble of buying products to use in our homes, that protect our kids, pets, and others from unintended exposure, when we don’t expect the same type of products in our workplace?

We need to stop kicking the can down the road, so let's make it a mission of ours to at least ask the question - can I do this more cheaply with safer products?

We have answers that are worth exploring and with your help we can make it our new normal https://envirofluid.com/articles .
