Research shows cleaning sprays are as harmful as smoking
Cleaning with cleaning sprays is equivalent to smoking 20 cigarettes a day
Cleaning with chemical products such as bleach and sprays seems harmless. Yet the European ECRHS study (2018) shows that regularly using chemical cleaning products is as harmful as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. And yes, you read that right.
Lung damage from using cleaning products
Researchers found that people who clean every day with sprays, bleach or ammonia suffer lasting damage to their lungs. Women who work as cleaners or often clean at home in particular had clearly reduced lung capacity after twenty years. The effect was compared to smoking 10 to 20 cigarettes a day over a long period.
Why chemical cleaning products are so dangerous
Many cleaning products contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These are released into the air and absorbed into your body through your lungs. The result? Chronic inflammation, reduced lung function and even asthma-like symptoms.
These substances might clean your home, but at the same time they're polluting your health. And you won't even notice.
Your children and pets breathe this in too
Children are especially vulnerable. Their lungs are still developing. Daily exposure to these chemicals increases the risk of respiratory problems and allergies. So in theory, the cleaning you do for their health could actually make them more ill.
But there's also a healthier and more effective alternative: a steam cleaner
Luckily, there's a solution that's just as powerful but won't harm your body: a steam cleaner. A steam cleaner kills 99.99% of all bacteria, viruses and mould, using nothing but water.
A steam cleaner also removes grease, dirt and build-up in seconds. Think grimy bathroom tiles, ovens, sanitary ware, toys and much more.
Techweise steam cleaners run for at least 45 minutes, clean dirt from 100+ surfaces and come with over 24 attachments. What does that mean for you? You'll quickly get used to cleaning with a steam cleaner. You still get a great clean, just more effective and healthier.

How does a steam cleaner actually work?
A steam cleaner heats water into steam of around 100ยฐC. This hot steam is released under pressure and gives every surface a thorough clean. From tiles to grout, from kitchen cupboards to the floors your children play on: everything gets hygienically clean without toxic fumes.
5 benefits of cleaning with steam
1. No chemical fumes
You don't breathe in anything that harms your lungs.
2. Safe for children and pets
No residue on floors where they crawl or play.
3. Eco-friendly
You only use water. No plastic bottles or harmful run-off.
4. Cheaper in the long run
No more buying expensive cleaning products. Just refill with water.
5. Deep cleaning for 100+ surfaces
Steam reaches right into the pores of surfaces. Perfect for tackling grease, limescale and bacteria.
Choose your health. Because you only get properly ill once
We hope this article has given you food for thought. Most of us use a chemical spray like this every day, but according to this research, it can be really bad for your health in some cases.
