When any chemical is used on business premises there has to be a Health & Safety sheet kept in a folder highlighting the risks & danger to health etc. We have them on everything including the washing-up liquid we order! May be worth checking with the offending stores to see if they are fully compliant on their Health & Safety folders!
Thanks for that useful info - I didn't know that.

I will be websearching for the legislation, and will be writing to the Health Centre on Blackburn Rd where I go for chiropody. I get mild symptoms when there is a strong smell of the floor polish they use.

I suppose they use contract cleaners for the premises, but that shouldn't mean loss of control over the substances used.
