Are Your Cleaning Products Polluting Your Air?

Are Your Cleaning Products Polluting Your Air?

In the UAE we spend approximately 90% of our time indoors, yet we rarely think about the quality of the air we breathe or its impact on our health and well-being.

Hard to believe, right? We scrub, mop, spray, and wipe our homes thinking we are making things cleaner and healthier for ourselves and our families, but what if the very products we use are actually doing the opposite?

Let’s talk about something that rarely makes it to the cleaning aisle conversation: indoor air quality.

Clean Surfaces, Dirty Air?

Traditional cleaning products are designed to make your surfaces sparkle—but here’s the catch: they often leave behind something invisible but harmful—VOCs, or Volatile Organic Compounds.

What are VOCs?
They are gases emitted from certain solids or liquids, found in things like all-purpose cleaners, air fresheners, and even your favorite “fresh linen” scented sprays. VOCs like Benzene, Formaldehyde, and Toluene may sound like words from a high school chemistry book, but they're floating around your living room every time you clean with conventional products.

And they don’t just disappear after you clean. They linger. In the air. In your home. Around your kids, your pets, and your lungs.

According to the EPA, indoor air is up to 70 times more polluted than outdoor air.

Let that sink in. Seventy. Times.

That strongly-scented “deep clean”? It might smell nice, but it could be silently compromising your indoor air because of the release of VOCs into the air. Breathing them in can cause headaches, dizziness, and irritation of your eyes, nose, and throat. For people with asthma or allergies, VOCs can make symptoms worse. Over time, regular exposure may even increase the risk of more serious health problems.

So, what’s the alternative?

That is where Kyma comes in. Unlike traditional cleaners that pollute your air with VOCs, Kyma is tested and proven to leave the air clean—not just your counters. That’s right. No VOCs. No toxic trail. Just clean surfaces and clean air.
