Does green cleaning help the earth?

The proper use of environmentally friendly cleaning products will decrease air pollution, water pollution, ozone depletion and global change. Implementing a green program can reduce the negative effect your cleaning operations have on the environment.

Does a healthier environment increase productivity and marketability?

Healthier employees mean happier employees. Data show increased worker satisfaction, improved morale, reduced absenteeism, and increased productivity and efficiency when the workspace is cleaned with environmentally friendly measures. Employees and customers appreciate knowing that green practices and green certified products are used in the building. Going green helps you market your business as a socially conscientious organization.

What about the products we currently use ?

The industry buzz is about the importance of the Green Supply Chain, which puts a serious emphasis on what products your company buys and what services it employs. Unless these companies are green business certified, their claims for green may be little more than “Greenwashing” and hype. Is your janitorial service green certified? Is your cleaning service using toxic products? Do they have a green purchasing protocol? What are they doing to work with sustainable resources? Are they preventing cross-contamination. In the end, all these things matter.
