Detergent Free Cleaning

Mainline Uses Detergent Surfactant Free Cleaning Solutions!

New Detergent Surfactant Free Cleaning formulations respond to the need for cleaning in a safe and sustainable manner – without harming people, without harming the environment, and without depleting non-renewable resources. Currently billions of pounds of single use detergent surfactants are used in cleaning each year. Most of this is discharged into our waste waters and has toxic effects on microbial populations adding to the problem of microbial resistance and toxicity to aquatic life.

DFC addresses such problems by cleaning without:

• Phosphates
• Detergent Surfactants
• VOC’s (Volatile organic compounds)

• Petroleum derived ingredients
• Depleting agricultural reserves
• Harming hypersensitive individuals

 

 

 

 

What’s so different about DFC? (Detergent Surfactant Free Cleaners)

 

 

 

 

Sustainability

We must as a society work towards a sustainable future. We cannot continue to use detergent surfactant chemicals that have prolonged harmful effects on aquatic and microbial populations as well as on our own health. With rapidly depleting petroleum reserves, we also need to move towards products that are free of petroleum-derived ingredients. Switching to bio-materials looked promising, but this can put additional stress on our agriculture reserves. DFC cleaning products all contain naturally occurring minerals such as common salt, sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate. There are sufficient reserves in America to supply the entire world’s needs for hundreds of years.

Indoor Air Quality

We are spending up to 90% of our time indoors. Using cleaning products that adversely affect the quality of our indoor environment has a negative impact on our health. Approximately 15% of the population has become more sensitive to even low-level chemical exposures. They can react adversely to perfumes as well as to other volatile chemicals emitted from cleaning compounds. Many property managers and cleaning professionals are recognizing the need to reduce indoor environmental contaminants. All of our Mainline’s cleaners are independently reviewed and certified to maintain maximum indoor air quality and for their suitability for use around sensitive populations.

Ingredients

Conventional cleaning products contain mixtures of numerous ingredients, some of which can have adverse effects on human health and our environment. Various government agencies around the world are beginning to enact legislation forcing ingredient disclosure on cleaning product labels. All Mainline’s cleaning products list all ingredients on the label, and we urge other corporations promoting ‘green’ products to do the same.
