By using these products you will not only contribute to the welfare of our environment, but you will also notice a difference in your pocket. Using the Delphis range will save money by replacing multiple, hazardous chemical cleaners with more effective Delphis products which will improve the health and safety of your employees and customers.

Environmental safety is of paramount importance as recklessly dumping hazardous chemicals, detergents, soap and effluent into water courses and flushed down drains can no longer be done.

Delphis have developed a range of products that not only clean effectively, it also protects the environment and the people using it.

All the products contain environmentally-friendly ingredients which makes them:-

Non-toxic

Environmentally Friendly Cleaning Products

Monday, July 26th, 2010

On the radio last week, it was suggested there is now a link between your increased risk of breast cancer and the cleaning products you use at home. When you hear claims like these, it does make you start to think about what cleaning chemicals you use around the house. These products don’t just have an effect on your health and your families health, but also the environment.

Before all these synthetic and toxic chemicals were developed, we purely relied on natural products for their cleaning and disinfectant properties.

Now, most of us, have an array of nasty and toxic cleaning chemicals under our sinks. When you read the label they are a concoction of chemicals and very often have a hazard symbol on the back with the hazard written underneath. These harsh chemicals very often have specific instructions for use. Many cannot be breathed in and require a ventilated area, and nearly all warn of not mixing with any other chemicals and advise which surfaces to avoid using them on. Then, when we finish using them and take off our rubber gloves, we tip them all down our sinks into the water system….

We don’t have to though. We CAN choose to use natural based cleaning products again and get the job done.

We are looking at alternatives to our cleaning products, not just for our homes, but for the offices we clean in. We understand that companies are becoming subject to environmental audits and we want to work in partnership with our clients.

We have recently trialed two brands in our office for our cleaning and in our homes. They are Method & bio-D. We have found them not only to be natural in their ingredients but they really do work!

We actively promote these ranges to our clients and use them in our homes.

Everytime we pour something down the drain, we want our conscience to be clear…

Micro Fibre Cloths – We’ve been using them for years….

Monday, July 5th, 2010

Many cleaning companies are raving about these cloths but to be honest, we have been using them for years.

Not only are these cloths more hygienic, they avoid the need for expensive (and often harmful) detergents and they get things looking far cleaner in a lot less time.

And, things being cleaner and saving time, must be a good thing in our busy lives, as we all know, time is money.

Many people don’t like using harsh detergents, they can be expensive, but the main factor is generally they can cause allergic reactions and skin complaints. Some will argue that in an effort to make things cleaner, we are undermining our bodies immune system to defend ourselves against everyday germs.

Also, these chemicals have to go somewhere. We pour them down our drains and they go directly into our rivers and seas. As our result they are polluting the environment we live in.

Many people would like to clean their homes or office environments without so many chemicals, using microfibre we can achieve this.

How do they work? The cloths themselves have many micro fibres, many more than a normal cloth on the surface, which are smaller. So, when dust, dirt and bacteria cling to the fibres on cleaning cloths, the more fibres there are the more dirt specs are cleaned up. These particles become trapped in the fibres and stays there until you wash the cloth thoroughly. This is mechanical cleaning, not chemical cleaning.

Now, if you are experimenting with microfibre cloths, the best way is to use the cloth with as little water as possible and wring it tightly before using it. Too much water and loads of soap will reduce the cloths effectiveness.

Microfibre cloths are great, and you can use them to clean any hard surface you like!

We are always looking into new ideas and innovation, if you need a cleaning company that puts your office and the environment first, give us a call today.
