It’s true. Green cleaning isn’t just some sort of moral high ground for businesses to stand on – although it certainly carries a positive moral connotation. It’s more than another socially-responsible box to check off or a badge to point to – although it’s certainly a reputation booster.

It actually benefits the bottom line of businesses in tangible ways. And, if you’re considering green cleaning services for your business, that’s worth taking into account.

With that in mind, here are three ways that green cleaning services can benefit your business.

Green Cleaning Services Can Increase Your Business’ ROI

Green cleaning services can actually benefit the ROI your business receives from cleaning services – and that factors into bottom line profit at the end of the day. We’ve touched on this before, to some extent, to dispel the myth that green cleaning services are more expensive than traditional cleaning services (they’re not). But they’re more than simply comparatively priced; green cleaning services, comprehensively instituted, provide significant cost savings.

 

First, as mentioned, they’re more efficient – both in terms of the frequency of cleaning, and in terms of the amount of chemicals used. That efficiency translates into cost savings; cleaning companies are able to reduce the costs of chemical purchases and time spent on cleaning activities, which translates directly to reduce the costs to your businesses.

 

Additionally, green cleaning services reduce the injuries to custodial staff and workers – there are fewer harsh chemicals to deal with, and the health of indoor environments is improved. The result of fewer injuries, of course, is fewer compensation claims – which again translates directly to reduced costs for your business.

Finally, green cleaning services attract potential clients and tenants. If given the chance between frequenting a facility that uses green cleaning, or a facility that doesn’t, tenants and clients almost aways choose green. That offers opportunities for your business.
