Consumers Can Keep Safe Without Chemical Household Cleaners, Says Chicago-Area Company Contact Information Share and Connect Notes Chemical-Free Ladybug Steam Cleaners Equipped With TANCS® Are Lab Tested To Achieve A Greater Kill Rate In 3 Seconds Than A 20-Minute Exposure To Bleach ![]() TANCS®-equipped Ladybug steam cleaners are scientifically proven to produce better results using ordinary tap water than typical EPA-registered chemical disinfectants. Online PR News – 06-May-2011 –As Illinois-based 1-800-GO-VAPOR.com seeks to introduce consumers and businesses nationwide to a revolutionary chemical-free cleaning device that qualifies as a disinfection device for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, it’s also working to educate Americans on the dangers of using traditional chemical household cleaning products. A vice president with the company explained today that a growing body of scientific evidence has linked adverse health problems like cancer, autism, aggravated asthma, heart disease and diabetes to some of the 82,000 chemicals available for use in the U.S., only 200 of which have been required to be tested for safety. V. K. Dunlop said there’s research that chemicals can cause birth defects in baby boys—or trigger testicular cancer and fertility problems for them later in life. There’s even evidence that babies that should be born boys are instead born girls because of chemicals they were exposed to while still in the womb, and that young girls are growing breasts earlier than they did a decade ago. In line with its mission to encourage Americans to ditch their toxic household cleaning products, Dunlop explained that TANCS®-equipped Ladybug steam cleaners are scientifically proven to produce better results using ordinary tap water than typical EPA-registered chemical disinfectants. “Every American has hundreds of chemicals passing through our bodies,” says Dunlop. “A report from the President’s Cancer Panel last year declared that Americans are ‘bombarded’ with cancer-causing chemicals.” Dunlop said that the root of the problem lies in the fact that the 1976 law created to protect Americans from dangerous chemicals is old and broken. In the 35 years since the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) was passed, thousands of new chemicals have been introduced into the products people use everyday yet TSCA has not been revised. “Hopefully that’s about to change,” she says. Thanks to the efforts of Senator Frank Lautenberg (NJ) and Congressmen Henry Waxman (CA) and Bobby Rush (IL), Congress is considering legislation that would overhaul TSCA. In the meantime, credible scientific research is educating Americans now more than ever of what dangerous chemicals lurk in many everyday household products. “While there is a lot of talk about steam cleaners as a ‘green’ cleaning alternative to toxic household cleaners, only those manufactured by Ladybug offer TANCS®,” says Dunlop. “It’s this factory-installed nano crystallization option that separates Ladybug steamers from the rest.” Thermo Accelerated Nano Crystal Sanitation, or TANCS®, carries an EPA establishment number (EPA Est. No. 82121-WA-01). Steam cleaners armed with Ladybug’s proprietary patented TANCS® technology such as the top-selling Ladybug Tekno 2350 steam cleaner have been extensively tested and scientifically proven to disinfect surfaces in much less time and with greater safety and effectiveness than traditional disinfectants. According to Chuanwu Xi, Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Health at the University of Michigan, "Scientific studies have found that biofilms can be up to 1000 times more resistant to biocide inactivation than are suspended microbes. It is extremely difficult to get rid of biofilms and kill them. The efficacy of the steam vapor system is important because even strong chemical disinfectants such as bleach when allowed 20 minutes of dwell time did not achieve the same degree of kill that the TANCS®-equipped unit accomplished in three seconds.” In view of these scientific findings, Dunlop saying it makes little sense to use “your mother’s mop and a bucket of dangerous chemicals,” says every home should replace toxic cleaning supplies with a Ladybug steam cleaner. “Chemical cleaners are going the way of the Dodo bird,” she says.
