Boise ID - January 18, 2012. Sometimes controversial, even radical, positions bring great truths to light. This is so with regard to the recently formed Chemical Free Cleaning Network (CFCN) which advocates the reduction or elimination of  chemical products and processes that leave harmful residues in the environment. Highlighting the need, importance, and means to reduce or eliminate unnecessary chemicals from the cleaning process is a profound - and courageous - banner to wave in a sector dominated by consumable and lucrative chemical products.

This “extreme green” movement is noteworthy in that it helps us  look at reducing the chemical load on our environment. HFI thus encourages the cleaning industry to support this effort and ask the hard questions. These questions include:

•    In what situations can chemical-free interventions completely or partly replace petro-chemical based solutions?
•    In what situations are petro-chemical based solutions (e.g., disinfectants) appropriate, safer and better supported by peer-reviewed science?
•    Which manufacturers of chemical-free solutions  have done their homework and can supply objective peer-reviewed science to support their claims?

For answers to these questions, consider attending the FREE Upcoming Expo in Florida: http://www.cfcn.info/

Also, consult the Chemical Free Cleaning Network directly: http://www.cfcn.info/

While HFI would like to see greater peer-reviewed validation for the claims of chemical-free product purveyors, this movement deserves more than a cursory examination.

About CFCN

The Chemical Free Cleaning Network was established by industry leader and consultant Vince Elliott, B.S., M.H.S., who has nearly four decades of professional experience in developing high performance cleaning strategies for commercial and industrial applications.
