Multiple Chemical Sensitivity What is it? The general theory is that a person develops markedly negative reactions to everyday chemical exposures. These could include exposures to pesticides in buildings, in gardens, on our food, and on pets; chemical cleaners; petrochemical heating systems; paints; perfumes; industrial emissions, to list but a few possibilities.
Currently MCS is not recognized as a legitamate diagnosis by main stream medical communities.

Docare Solutions has a firm commitment to the elimination of toxic chemicals within cleaning products and believe that we can offer hope to those people that feel they suffer from a sensitivity to traditional cleaners. We do not, and can not promote Eco Mist as 100% effective against any form of MCS...what we do offer is the hope that this food based, non-toxic and biodegradable line of cleaners can offer some relief as an alternative to enironmentally offensive products.
