PLS OneCleaning Solution has established a comprehensive and fully integrated green cleaning program that is implemented on a daily basis across all operations. This program is not a specialty or premium service, but a core value embedded into the company’s identity and every cleaning routine. The following report details, step by step, how this green cleaning program is executed daily, based on the company's alignment with the International Janitorial Cleaning Services Association (IJCSA) Green Cleaning Certification standards and adherence to international management systems such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 31000.

1. Exclusive Use of Certified Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products

Each day, cleaning personnel begin their tasks using only non-toxic, biodegradable, and eco-friendly cleaning agents 5. These products are rigorously vetted to ensure compliance with recognized environmental safety benchmarks, including standards akin to the U.S. EPA’s Safer Choice Program and Green Seal certifications 16.

The company has fully phased out cleaning products containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are known to contribute to indoor air pollution and health risks 5. Instead, only approved formulations such as concentrated, plant-based, or low-impact chemical alternatives, are used. Although specific product brands are not disclosed in the available documentation, industry-standard alternatives such as Simple Green, ECOS, or other EPA-recognized products may serve as practical examples of the types of solutions used. 

All cleaning supplies are pre-approved under IJCSA protocols that mandate environmentally responsible chemical selection, ensuring that every product introduced into a client’s space meets stringent sustainability criteria. 

2. Daily Application of Advanced Cleaning Tools and Techniques

PLS OneCleaning Solution integrates eco-conscious tools into daily operations to maximize cleaning efficacy while minimizing environmental impact.

2.1 Microfiber Cleaning Technology

Microfiber cloths and mops are used universally across all sites. These materials are highly effective at trapping dust, bacteria, and particulates using only water or minimal cleaning solution, reducing chemical consumption by up to 90% compared to traditional methods. Employees are trained to use color-coded microfiber systems to prevent cross-contamination between areas such as restrooms, kitchens, and offices.

2.2 High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) Filter Vacuums

Daily vacuuming operations employ vacuums equipped with HEPA filters, which capture at least 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. This is critical for maintaining indoor air quality, particularly in environments with sensitive occupants such as schools, healthcare facilities, or allergy-prone individuals. The use of HEPA vacuuming is not optional but a standard requirement in all cleaning routines.

Additionally, equipment is maintained daily according to manufacturer and IJCSA guidelines to ensure optimal performance and energy efficiency.

3. Mandatory Use of IJCSA-Approved Green Cleaning Methods by Trained Staff

3.1 Daily Execution of Trained Protocols

Every employee at PLS OneCleaning Solution is required to undergo 5–6 hours of initial training in IJCSA-approved green cleaning methods, with annual recertification to ensure continual compliance with updated environmental and safety standards 1. These methods cover proper dilution ratios, application techniques, dwell times, and safe disposal procedures all of which are enforced daily.

Training includes specific instruction on minimizing water waste, chemical overuse, and cross-contamination risks. Employees are expected to follow these procedures as part of their daily route sheets and checklists.

3.2 Certified Green Cleaning Professionals

The company employs IJCSA Certified Green Cleaning Professionals who have completed rigorous training in sustainable practices, non-toxic product selection, and environmentally responsible waste handling. These professionals serve as team leads and mentors, ensuring that all staff apply green principles correctly during every shift.

4. Integration into Daily Workflows and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

4.1 Embedded Sustainable Protocols

Green cleaning is not a supplemental task but fully integrated into standard operating procedures for all cleaning activities. including restroom sanitation, floor maintenance, dusting, and trash removal. Each SOP includes environmental compliance checkpoints, ensuring that best practices are followed consistently.

Daily cleaning checklists include specific prompts such as:

• Verify use of green-certified product.
• Confirm microfiber cloth was used and properly laundered.
• HEPA vacuum used in all carpeted areas.
  These tools ensure accountability and consistency across shifts and locations.

4.2 Supervisory Verification

Team supervisors conduct daily walkthroughs at client sites to verify compliance with green protocols. They use digital auditing tools to log findings in real time, flag deviations, and provide immediate feedback to cleaning staff. This ensures that green standards are upheld every day, not just during periodic audits.

5. Ongoing Performance Reviews and Regular Audits

5.1 Daily Performance Monitoring

While comprehensive site audits are conducted regularly, daily performance is reviewed through supervisor checks and automated reporting systems. These reviews assess both quality of service and adherence to green protocols.

Data from these reviews are analyzed weekly and integrated into quality improvement cycles aligned with ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 14001 (environmental management) standards. This allows PLS OneCleaning Solution to continuously refine its green cleaning practices.

5.2 Full Compliance Audits

In addition to daily checks, formal audits are conducted monthly or quarterly, depending on client contracts and service level agreements. These audits evaluate compliance with IJCSA certification requirements and may include third-party validation. Audit results are used to update training materials, replace underperforming products, and optimize workflows.

Clients are provided with green cleaning certification documentation upon request, reinforcing transparency and trust.

6. Universal and Equitable Service Delivery

PLS OneCleaning Solution applies its green cleaning standards uniformly to every client. Whether a small office or a large commercial facility, all locations receive the same level of environmentally responsible service. This universal application reflects the company's core commitment to sustainability and social responsibility.

There is no “standard tier” that uses conventional chemicals and a “premium tier” that uses green products. Instead, the green cleaning program is the baseline standard for all work.

Conclusion

PLS OneCleaning Solution ensures the daily implementation of its green cleaning program through a holistic, standards-driven approach. By combining certified eco-friendly products, advanced microfiber and HEPA technologies, mandatory IJCSA-trained personnel, embedded standard operating procedures, and continuous monitoring via daily and formal audits, the company delivers consistent, sustainable, and high-quality cleaning services.

This program is fully aligned with internationally recognized standards including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 31000, and is verified through IJCSA certification, ensuring that green principles are not just claimed, but practiced each and every day. The green cleaning program is not an added feature—it is the foundation of how the company operates.
