For decades, our environmental focus has been on the large global  issues like the greenhouse effect, global warming, deforestation, air pollution, and water pollution.  All of which play a vital role in our overall survival, however, when it comes to our personal health we need to understand how our environment affects us.

Every environment that surrounds us is going to contain some type of contaminant that will affect our health.  What we need to understand and embrace is that the likelihood of any adverse effect generally comes down to the length of time that we are exposed or subjected to any given contaminants.

Now lets think about how long we were outside today.  Most studies reveal that the average American spends about 10% of their time outdoors, while the majority of our time (80-90%) is spent at home, at work, or in vehicles (For the average worker it breaks down to 60% at home, 30% at work, and 5% commuting, a full-time homemaker spends up to 85% at home, and most elderly spend more than 95% of their time in their residences).  Obviously it is the indoor or closed environments that pose the greatest risk to our individual health.  The exciting news is that we personally have the most control over the biggest environmental threat that we face today – our indoor environment.

Everything that enters into our indoor environement becomes another factor that can positively or negatively affect our health. From the furniture we purchase, the chemicals we use to clean, the cosmetic products we put on ourselves to even the air that enters from outdoors, everything has some impact on us.

The Zerorez cleaning system that was developed originally for carpet cleaning does not introduce any new chemicals or contaminants into your living space. In fact the cleaning removes the toxins, germs, and chemicals that have built up over time, and have been decreasing the health and vitality of your precious living space.
