The benefits of having a green cleaning program.
If you haven’t yet put into effect a green cleaning program at your establishment, now is the time. Not only does it make the environment safer for employees and your establishment’s visitors, it can lead to a reduction in facility costs.
Green products must meet standards for inhalation toxicity, combustibility, and absorption through the skin. Meaning… green products are safer, decreasing the likelihood of worker complaints and chronic illness, and creating a happier work environment, increased attendance and better productivity.
More Green cleaning benefits:
· Healthier Environment (No longer breathing cleaners lingering in the air or sitting on furniture, reduces exposure to toxic chemicals)
· Reduce Pollution (Ozone depletion has fewer smog-producing chemicals, recyclable packaging minimizes waste, lowers environmental impact)
· More Affordable (Green cleaning is much more affordable than conventional cleaning products)
· Reduces chemical consumption and the number of cleaning products needed
· Promotes better inventory management of chemicals and equipment, resulting in more efficient and better-planned procurement of goods
In an effort to improve indoor air quality and avoid any cleaning agents that could negatively affect facility occupants and the environment, it’s important to make a commitment to green cleaning.
