What Is Green Cleaning |
|
Green cleaning involves using green or environmentally preferred products and practices to clean your facility. Our green cleaning is much more than just using “green” cleaning products. We have developed a complete green cleaning system to help you maintain a healthy building.
Green cleaning is not only good for the environment; it increases workplace health and safety. Using a green cleaning program helps to improve indoor air quality, which, in turn, leads to fewer employee sick days and higher productivity. |

Green & Clean Do Go Together
The Advantages of Going Green:
Improved indoor air quality. A healthier indoor environment will lead to increased productivity and reduced absenteeism. Using green products and practices, such as use of less hazardous cleaning chemicals, proper chemical storage, use and disposal, lessens the likelihood of accidents, fires, spills and explosions. Financial benefits. Green cleaning focuses on keeping the dirt and soil out, and preventive maintenance. This leads to lower cleaning and maintenance costs. Happier building occupants. Employees like to work in buildings where the owners and managers show concern for their health and well-being. Increased building value. By implementing green features such as energy efficient lighting and non-toxic cleaners, you can increase your building’s value. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Will it be expensive to switch to green cleaning?
A. No, the products used are no more expensive than traditional cleaners.
Q. Do we have to throw away the current chemicals we have on hand?
A. No, we encourage you to use up the supplies and products you have and transition to a green cleaning program.
Q. Besides using different cleaning chemicals, what is involved in green cleaning?
A. In our green cleaning program we train our employees to remove dirt and soil, and not just spread it around or make it airborne. We use products that are not only “green”, but are concentrated and use less packaging for reduced environmental impact. We also look at ways to keep soil out of buildings, such as more walk-off mats and deeper cleaning at entryways. Additionally, we may suggest more frequent routine maintenance such as vacuuming so that the need for deep cleaning (i.e. carpet cleaning) frequency, is reduced. |
