Tips for Greening Your Practice, Part 3 Non-toxic Products

• Use environmentally friendly products to clean your treatment space. Oxygen bleaches and citrus based cleaners are effective and nontoxic.
• Avoid soaps and hand sanitizers containing triclosan. Studies have increasingly linked triclosan to a range of health and environmental effects, from skin irritation, allergy susceptibility, bacterial and compounded antibiotic resistant, and dioxin contamination to destruction of fragile aquatic ecosystems. PURELL® Green Certified Instant Hand Sanitizer is a healthy alternative.
