Countertop Refinishing

What are VOC’s and Why You Should Be Aware

At Fox Valley Bathtub Refinishing, we pride ourselves in our ability to refinish household surfaces and get them looking like new again. However, what we value most is our customer’s health and ensuring that none of the products we use in their home cause any sort of disturbance to them. To prevent this, we use eco-friendly products with low VOC’s. You might not be aware of how many products in your own home contain VOC’s, or that these products could potentially be the culprit behind some symptoms you mistook as a cold. At Fox Valley, we are a company you can trust not just with your home but with your health. In order to find out more about our eco-friendly refinishing services, call (847) 650- 6271 today. 

What Exactly Are VOC’s?

Volatile Organic Compounds, otherwise known as VOC’s, refers to a number of different harsh chemicals released as gases. Too much exposure to these chemicals can cause both short- and long-term health effects. These chemicals are a lot more toxic while indoors because without an opportunity to escape, their concentration is high. This is why you need to be particularly careful to minimize cleaning products and sprays with VOC’s in your home where everyone will be breathing them in on a daily basis. 

What Sort of Products Contain VOC’s?

  • Pesticides
  • Aerosols
  • Bug Repellants
  • Air Fresheners
  • Cleansers
  • Disinfectants
  • Paint and Finishing Products
  • Glues
  • Markers

What Health Effects can VOC’s have?

  • Headaches
  • Loss of Coordination
  • Nausea
  • Fatigue
  • Dizziness
  • Skin Reactions
  • Throat and Nose Discomfort
