The first thing I would do when it comes to going green in the workplace is write down a list of items or areas I would like to see improvement. I would start with the basics. I would change all the light bulbs and switch out all the hazardous chemicals we currently use for cleaning and start bringing in natural remedies. Bringing in things like dish soap, vinegar, salt, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and citrus juices would be the first things to try out.
Hydrogen peroxide would kill bacteria and be used around windows and door handles etc as a substitute for Lysol. As we are open to the public, instead of using air fresheners which are toxic, I would bring in a diffuser and some essential oils. I would start cleaning from the back to the front, from the floor to the ceiling. Scrubbing the baseboards and trims with a natural mix of dish soap, lemon juice, and coconut oil so while it disinfects and also polishes.
I would switch out toilet cleaners in the bathroom and use vinegar or bleach. Using baking soda as a paste will help with any stains on tile or porcelain. Purchasing eco friendly toilet paper and towels will also help the earth and maintain the going green way.
