Why Choose Green Clean?

We are all aware by now of the massive effort on everyone's part to be more environmentally conscious. This social agenda advocates the concept of ecology and sustainability and this movement continues to evolve. One such way you can become a part of this movement is by making the switch to green cleaning.

Green cleaning is the use of cleaning methods that steer clear of cleaning chemicals that contain toxins and volatile ingredients that are harmful to both humans and our eco-system. It also includes the processes in which the chemical manufactures go about producing, packaging and distributing their chemicals. The definition of ‘green cleaning' can also include the cleaning equipment, tools, products and procedures that cleaning companies use when providing their services. This would include, for example, the use of battery operated equipment, environmentally preferable tools, recycled toilet paper and hand towels, as wells as addressing processes and systems that relate to the company's commitment to providing a safe and healthy workplace environment.

Science has made it clear that cleaning products can have an impact on building occupants. Some traditional products are known to contribute to health problems such as eye, skin and respiratory irritation as well as asthma and other allergic reactions, which can lead to occupant complaints and hurt attendance and productivity. Replacing these products with those that reduce the potential for harm has numerous advantages and is less costly than the cost to maintain a ventilation system overloaded with dust and residual chemicals.

In addition to the many health benefits, green cleaning can help reduce the overall cost of operating your business. For example, traditional carpet cleaning methods leave behind water and soap residue that weakens carpet fibers causing them to become hard and soil more quickly. However, a green method uses a dry carpet polymer that clings to the soil in the carpet but not the carpet itself. This not only extends the life of the carpet but also reduces the need for more frequent carpet cleanings. This also lowers the impact on our environment by reducing the number of old carpets that are removed and dumped into landfills each year.

The more facility executives understand how chemicals in cleaning products can cause harm, the better they will be able to choose cleaning strategies and products that will provide a healthy high performing building.
