Here’s something that might surprise you: studies have found that using harsh supermarket cleaning sprays regularly can damage your lungs almost as much as smoking.
Yes — really. Researchers from the University of Bergen compared long-term exposure to common cleaning products and discovered that using them daily could reduce lung function at a similar rate to smoking 20 cigarettes a day.
That “fresh lemon scent” isn’t so fresh after all.
We tend to think of cleaning as healthy — and it should be! But it depends entirely on what’s in the bottle.
Many off-the-shelf products are packed with ammonia, chlorine, synthetic fragrance, and VOCs (volatile organic compounds). When sprayed or wiped, these tiny chemicals float in the air and cling to surfaces long after you’ve finished cleaning. Over time, they can irritate your lungs, trigger asthma, and even impact hormone balance.
A proper deep clean should leave your home fresher, not your throat scratchier.
At Ordenada Cleaning, we only use eco-certified products that are safe for your home, your pets, and your airways. No harsh fumes, no bleachy headaches — just nature-powered ingredients that actually work.
Think about what you breathe every day.
Your home’s air quality matters as much as its appearance. A deep clean with eco-friendly products doesn’t just remove dust and grime — it removes what you can’t see: allergens, mould spores, and leftover residues from older chemical cleaners.
Clients often tell us that after a deep clean, their home “feels lighter” or “smells like fresh air.” That’s not just psychological — it’s your lungs thanking you.
Plus, eco deep cleaning protects surfaces too. Without abrasive bleaches, your taps stay shinier, your wood finishes last longer, and your home simply ages better.
If you’ve ever noticed your chest feel tight after cleaning, or that “chemical clean” smell hanging around for hours — it’s time for a change.
Ordenada’s Eco Deep Cleans are designed to purify your space and protect your health.
