How It Began

It all started with a family member taking showers. Once or twice a year he would experience a serious sore throat that would occur literally out-of-the-blue. He would complain that his throat felt very dry and constricted as if he was wearing a tie around his neck that was too tight.

After visiting several doctors they all believed it was likely to be a food allergy, so he kept track of what he ate whenever it occurred hoping to find a connection. But, after a couple of years of this he found no correlation to a specific type of food, so we were puzzled to say the least. Then one day he was home when our maid came over to clean our house as she would regularly do. He walked by the shower and was taken aback by the strong odor. He immediately felt that "feeling" in his throat and asked the maid what that smell was and she said it was bleach. He asked her if she always cleaned the shower using bleach and she said... "Oh yes, I love to use bleach because it cleans so well. See how bright and clean it looks!" she proudly exclaimed.

Soon after we began looking into bleach and learned that it is an extremely dangerous chemical that has somehow made its way into our lives without a thought. We found if you mix bleach with a cleaning product which contains ammonia, you have now created a very deadly poison. In fact, in World War I and II the Germans used various combinations of bleach and ammonia to create rocket fuel and chemical weapons!

Moreover, when bleach is used in a shower the steam can atomize the toxins into very small particulates which then can not only be breathed into our lungs, but can also be absorbed through our skin. If your shower is enclosed with little airflow, as was ours, you are trapping the toxins which enhances the problem.

So this is how it all started for us. We decided it was time to create a new-type of house cleaning service which understands there are MUCH better solutions today. Naked Clean was born from this personal experience, which has made a significant improvement in our lives, and that of our customers.
