How does Microfiber work? The dense construction of split microfibers creates a more efficient cleaning system: • Positively charged microfibers attract negatively charged dust • Pulls liquid and soil particles away from surfaces • Surface tension is broken, allowing the option of cleaning with water or with fewer chemicals Advanced Microfiber Take cleaning to a higher level with less impact on the environment and your bottom line.

that convert UV light wave lengths into in- visible light (makes laundered clothes ap- pear whiter). Does not affect the cleanli- ness of the clothes. Toxic to fish and causes bacterial mutations. Can cause an allergic reaction when exposed to skin that is later exposed to sunlight. Phenols: (TOXIC) A suspected carcinogen (a substance capable of causing cancer) rapidly absorbed. Effects include swelling, pimples and hives. Internal consumption can cause circulatory collapse, cold sweats, coma and death. Alkyl Phenol Ethoxylates (APE’s): Com- mon surfactants, can damage immune system. Suspected hormone disruptions (can mimic hormones in the body that reg- ulate reproduction). Supermarket or drug- store brands are more likely to contain APE’s than name brands. COLOR detergents: Colorants such as Rhodamine B are toxic and can even cause cancer and other harmful effects in people, the EPA has warned. Particularly harmful can be metalized dye.

Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach): Involved in more household poisonings than any other chemical. When it reacts with organic mate- rial in the environment, carcinogenic and toxic compounds are created. These com- pounds can cause reproductive and im- mune system disorders. Petroleum Distillates (AKA: Napthas): Linked to cancer, lung damage, lung in- flammation and damage to mucus mem- branes. Distillation is the basic process used to separate and purify components of crude oil. These are found in gasoline, ker- osene and mineral seed oil. Pesticides commonly contain petroleum distillates. EDTA: A skin irritant leading to allergies, asthma and skin rashes. Used as an alter- native to phosphates to reduce mineral hardness in water. EDTA acts as a foam stabilizer. Does not biodegrade and can re- dissolve toxic heavy metals in the environ- ment, allowing them to re-enter the food chain.

Artificial Fragrances: Toxic to fish and mammals. Causes allergies, skin and eye irritation. Does not easily biodegrade in the environment. One of the top five allergens in the world, and has many effects on the brain and nervous system. Phosphates: Used to remove hard water minerals to make detergents more effective and prevent dirt from settling back into clothes during wash. When released into the environment, they can stimulate the growth of certain marine plants. Used as builders in Laundry Detergents. Linear Alkyl Sodium Sulfates (LAS): These synthetic surfactants are the most common in use. Biodegrades slowly, mak- ing them a hazard to the environment. During the production process, carcino- genic (cancer causing) and reproductive toxins, such as benzene, are released into the environment. Contact irritants of the skin as well as lung and eye irritants, espe- cially detergent that is in powdered form.
