As the green cleaning industry continues to gain traction, there are a lot of companies that advertise themselves as green cleaning service providers. As a result, consumers have to be aware of at least three criteria to use when choosing the right green cleaning company for their business needs. Although there are more than three criteria to use, these three can get your search off to a good start.

Certification is the baseline criteria. Please ensure that the green cleaning company you choose shows you documentation proof of their green cleaning certifications and confirm that they are actually a part of an established association that oversees their certification and training. (i.e. https://www.ijcsa.org/Green-Cleaning-Services). True certification at least ensures that the cleaning company has obtained standard green cleaning fundamentals. Please make sure that the cleaning staff are individually certified as well (do not just rely on the company publicizing corporate certification). 

Reputable green products and equipment is another criteria. The best green cleaning companies will invest in products and equipment that truly improve the air quality of the environments that they clean. Ask the cleaning company about what products and equipment they use, then research the validity of them being green-friendly products.

Knowledgeable on helping you (as a client) to obtain green certification is a huge criteria to use as well. If you, as a client, desire to obtain certification, then you should partner with a green cleaning company that understands the process well enough that can assist you in reaching that goal.
