THE MSDS REPORT CARD
Print this page to grade your product and compare
it to CleanSafe products. The following "report card" grades CleanSafe on hazardous ingredients.
If you do not have an SDS, the manufacturer or distributor must provide it
if you request it. Review a copy of the SDS for your product. See for yourself
that no other Heavy Duty Cleaner does the job so well with so perfect an SDS
Report Card.
From all the cleaning product advertisements
and brochures that we see, it is easy to get the impression that most industrial
cleaning products are powerful, safe, environmentally friendly and reasonably
priced and that it would be difficult to distinguish one from another. However,
there are major differences among available products, and you can determine
many of these by reading the SDS's for those that you are considering.
When reading an SDS, keep in mind that they
vary to some extent in the number of sections, order of sections and amount
of information given. However, certain mandatory sections are always included
and others are usually provided. These sections contain important information
that will help you determine whether a particular product presents any health,
safety or environmental hazards or could cause any damage to the objects on
which you would use it.
