Spring cleaning with a difference!
01 March 2010

Asthma UK is to join forces with the chemical free cleaning company, E-cloth for a special spring cleaning promotion.

90% of people with asthma tell us that dust triggers their asthma and so having a clean home is important to help manage their condition. However, many household cleaning products contain Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) which can cause breathing difficulties for some people with asthma. Products that allow people with asthma to clean without having to use chemicals are therefore a good alternative.

E-cloth’s products allow you to clean just using water – so you can avoid using cleaning chemicals that can cause asthma symptoms!

They have a whole range of products for cleaning throughout the home and they are offering Asthma UK a 15% donation for all sales made through their online shop here from 1 March to 31 May. All you need to do is click here to go to their website and enter the voucher code ASUK001 when you check out, remembering to click the ‘update’ button.

Anne Breary, Senior Corporate Development Officer at Asthma UK, said: ‘We are excited to be working with E-cloth whose products have won many consumer awards. Through their generous website promotion from March to May, we hope to raise much needed funds for our work and urge anyone who would like to buy an E-cloth product to do so by clicking here and using the voucher code ASUK001 when they make their online purchase.
