    Achieving green cleaning certification for your company can significantly enhance your business's reputation and operational efficiency. This certification signals to clients, employees, and stakeholders that your company is committed to sustainable practices and environmental stewardship. In an era where consumers are increasingly aware of the environmental impact of their choices, being green cleaning certified can provide a competitive edge. Clients prefer to partner with companies that align with their values, and a certification in green cleaning demonstrates your company's dedication to reducing its ecological footprint. This not only helps attract environmentally conscious clients but also fosters loyalty and trust among your existing customer base.

    Moreover, green cleaning certification can lead to cost savings and improved financial performance over time. Eco-friendly cleaning products and practices often result in lower long-term costs due to their efficiency and sustainability. For instance, green cleaning products are typically designed to be concentrated, meaning you use less product for the same cleaning power, reducing procurement costs. Additionally, environmentally friendly practices often include energy and water-saving measures, which can significantly cut utility bills. The reduction in health-related issues among employees, due to fewer toxic exposures, can also lead to decreased healthcare costs and less absenteeism, further improving your company's bottom line.

    Implementing green cleaning practices as part of your certification process also creates a healthier work environment, leading to higher employee satisfaction and productivity. Conventional cleaning products can release harmful chemicals into the air, leading to poor indoor air quality and associated health problems like respiratory issues, skin irritations, and headaches. By switching to green cleaning products, you reduce these health risks, creating a safer and more pleasant workplace. Employees are more likely to feel valued and motivated when they know their employer is taking steps to protect their health and well-being. This can lead to higher retention rates and a more engaged, productive workforce.

    Lastly, being green cleaning certified positions your company as a leader in corporate social responsibility (CSR). In today's business landscape, CSR is a key factor in shaping a company's public image and attracting investment. Companies that demonstrate a commitment to sustainable practices are viewed more favorably by investors, partners, and the public. Green cleaning certification can be a cornerstone of your CSR strategy, showcasing your commitment to environmental and social issues. This not only enhances your brand image but also opens up new opportunities for partnerships and collaborations with other socially responsible organizations. In conclusion, achieving green cleaning certification is a strategic move that can yield numerous benefits for your company, from cost savings and improved employee health to enhanced reputation and market competitiveness.

    As a national janitorial company, embracing a green cleaning program not only aligns with environmental sustainability goals but also provides a multitude of benefits that extend to our clients, employees, and overall operational efficiency. Green cleaning programs utilize eco-friendly products and methods, reducing the exposure to harmful chemicals and promoting a healthier indoor environment. This results in fewer health issues such as respiratory problems and skin irritations among building occupants and cleaning staff. Healthier employees are more productive and have lower absenteeism, which translates to improved service delivery and client satisfaction. Additionally, many businesses are increasingly looking to partner with service providers who demonstrate a commitment to sustainability, giving us a competitive edge in the marketplace.

    Moreover, implementing a green cleaning program can lead to long-term cost savings. While eco-friendly products may have a slightly higher upfront cost, their use can lead to reduced wear and tear on facilities and extended lifespan of cleaning equipment due to their non-corrosive nature. Energy and water-efficient practices inherent in green cleaning can also lower utility costs. Furthermore, by reducing waste and incorporating recycling programs, we can lower disposal costs and contribute to broader corporate social responsibility (CSR) goals. A commitment to green cleaning not only enhances our reputation but also positions us as leaders in the industry, driving growth and ensuring we meet the evolving demands of environmentally-conscious clients.

    Being Green Cleaning Certified will benefit my business in a multitude of ways.  Now that people are becoming more aware of the negative health and environmental impact that toxic chemicals can have, they're more conscientious of what they do and use around their home. By being Green Cleaning Certified, customers can feel like they're doing their part in protecting the environment because it will be known that I won't use single-use plastic in their home that could put the environment at risk. Not only that, but I will also be keeping them and their family safer by not using harsh chemicals that could be hazardous to their health.  

    Being Green Cleaning Certified also will benefit my business because it's another service to be offered, sure to meet many customers' needs and wants. It appeals to many people and stands out as a reason to hire us instead of another cleaning business. The more services that we can offer as a professional business that may entice new customers and more sales, the better. 

    Green Cleaning Certification can prove as a benefit to my business in the way that it will show that I truly care. Not only do I care about what the customer wants, but I care enough about them to take action in ensuring I'm not risking their health and do what I can to protect the environment from further damage. The career choice I made in becoming a cleaning business owner was not just about making money, but in providing services that can benefit all of my customers and even the environment.  This certification shows that.

    Finally, providing services to customers as a Green Cleaning Certified cleaner can benefit my business because I'll actually be saving money by not buying brand name, toxic-chemical based cleaners. It will be more cost-efficient for me to make my own cleaners. When buying brand name cleaners, you're mostly paying for the label.  When I can effectively clean a home in the same amount of time, with the same amount of elbow grease, using cleaners that I made myself for a third of the amount it would have cost to buy a different cleaner for each room, I'll be saving money, the environment, and still providing quality cleaning. Vinegar, citric acid, water, baking soda, and washing soda are listed in the article as safer homemade substitutions for cleaning chemicals, and will to be some of the main the ingredients that I use to make cleaners for different areas of the home, taking the place of toxic things like bleach, ammonia, and furniture polish.

    We are excited to announce that we are now Green Cleaning Certified by IJSCA! Not only do we provide cleaning services that exceed expectations, but we can effectively do so while keeping your family, our cleaners, and our environment safer. After becoming certified in Green Cleaning, we carefully evaluated the cleaning products and tools that we use, and decided to implement some substitutions that we could use in our Green Cleaning service to put in place of them to provide the best possible results, at a lower cost to human/pet health, and environmental impacts. 

    The first thing we will be implementing as part of our Green Cleaning program, is biodegradable trash bags. They won't take nearly as long to biodegrade as regular plastic trash bags and will lower the amount of toxic emissions that are created during the manufacturing process of regular trash bags.

    Next, we will not be using any cleaning solution that contains any form of bleach. No bathroom cleaners, no disinfectants, no stain removers, etc.  There are a whole host of reasons as to why this was a no-brainer to us, and we know that some people don't believe that bleach is as awful to their health and the environment as it really is, but it isn't even going to be offered as a part of our regular services. 

    Among other things, we've decided to use solutions that have more natural active ingredients. Things like vinegar, citric acid (from things like oranges, lemons, etc.), washing soda, and olive oil, prove unbelievably useful around the entire home. These simple ingredients in the right combinations can effectively take care of things like stain removing, window cleaning, grout brightening, deodorizing, furniture polishing, etc.  

    As these are just a few of the things we're implementing as IJSCA Green Cleaning Certified business members, we're constantly improving our practices as we become more informed.  Because of this, we know you'll be more than happy with our Green Cleaning services, and can feel great that you played a role in keeping your family and the world a little safer in choosing to partner with us!
