Did you know?:

• Bleach may be a cheap disinfectant, but it's a lousy cleaner and is dangerous.
• Childhood asthma has increased by 60% in the past 10 years and is now considered the leading cause of absenteeism.
• Asthma is exacerbated by use of aerosol cleaners.
• Cleaning products and procedures can adversely affect your health.

Parents entrust their children to your care. The last thing you want to concern yourself with is the impacts cleaning and cleaning products can have on the health and safety of those children. But two facts make this concern very important to you.

1. Studies have documented increased risk of respiratory, ear and gastrointestinal infections in day care settings.
2. 2. It has now been proven that thorough cleaning (how you clean and what you clean with) can have a direct and dramatic impact on health, especially in young children.

Studies have proven that with better cleaning you can achieve:

• 24% reduction in illnesses
• 34% reduction in doctor visits
• 24% reduction in courses of antibiotics
• 46% reduction in days absent

What does it mean to you?

• better attendance (and less loss of income)
• better learning
• less lost time from work for your staff
• better bottom line for you

The RMC Green Housekeeping program will help you address all of these issues.
