    Using natural green cleaning product is an effective way of saving the environment and ourselves. When you select natural green cleaning products, you are in one way or the other protecting the environment. Most ideal green cleaning products are manufactured using sustainable manufacturing practices and naturally derived, safe, non-toxic, and biodegradable ingredients that have no adverse effect on the environment. On the other side, some conventional cleaning products include ingredients that are hazardous, toxic, non-biodegradable, and are derived from non-renewable resources like petroleum, so they have a negative impact on the earth's eco-systems.

    Even though this conventional cleaning product makes our house dirt free and sparkling clean, they in turn release hazardous solvents and compounds into the atmosphere in the home, and therefore, they have harmful effects on our health. Generally, every household uses different types of cleaning product containing harmful toxic chemicals, such as air fresheners, furniture cleaners and polishes, glass and tile cleaners, detergents, toilet cleaners, carpet cleaners, dishwashers, soap and others.

    There is an adverse effect on the environment as a result of these conventional everyday cleaning chemicals. For instance, “Cleaning liquids go down the drains and thereby threatening water quality, fish and other wildlife”. More so, petroleum-based products also contribute to the unnecessary consume of oil, a non-renewable resource. And let’s also remember the negative impact of plastic containers used in packaging cleaning products; recently some bottles are being recycled, but not in huge amounts.

    Aside the fact that chemical cleaning products are harmful to the environment, some other household cleaning products can affect the throat or the eyes or even cause headaches or other health issues. Some of these products release life threatening chemicals, including Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Other dangerous ingredients include bleach and ammonia.

    Volatile Organic Compounds and other harmful chemicals released when we make use of chemical cleaning product contribute to chronic respiratory problems, headaches and allergic reactions. Researchers are still trying to figure out how these chemicals affect individuals with asthma and other respiratory problems. However, previous research has shown that exposure to chemicals from cleaning products can cause occupational asthma and other respiratory problems.

    The best way to have a green cleaning and chemical free atmosphere is to switch from products that includes hazardous chemicals such as Perchloroethylene/PERC, Phthalates, Chlorine, Ammonia, and any other cleaning products that state “Warning Danger Caution, or Poison” on them to products that is made from natural ingredients such as Beeswax, Baking soda, Olive Oil, Vinegar, and other products labeled “no solvents or phosphates.” You can always choose from a wide variety of green cleaning products available in the market today labeled eco-friendly.

      We would help our clients to understand the safe use of environmentally-preferable products like vacuum cleaners with high-filtration filters, floor machines with dust-control systems that capture impurities which pollute the indoor environment and microfiber cleaning, impacting positively not only on the lives of humans but the animal world and the environment at large.

      The implementation of regular training programs for our personnel to learn the most-up-to-date cleaning procedures places us in a vantage position to apply green cleaning principles.

      We provide an open, effective communication channel among chemical suppliers, building occupants and management.

    When someone asks, why go green?  I always make sure to tell them about all the toxic chemicals that are in their everyday cleaning products.  I let them know the effects its having on their different surfaces and to their body.  For example, many people love Windex.  But Windex contains ammonia.  Which is a skin irritant, it can cause headaches, it adds nitrogen to the environment among other things.

    The average American household uses about 63 synthetic chemical products.  When you use less harmful products, it cuts down on many human health risks.  There are many things right in many people's cabinet they can use.  For example, vinegar and water can be used to clean windows. One way less toxic than the other but yields the same results. By going green, it benefits the public and environment.

    Green cleaning, the growing international movement celebrated for it's departure from most traditional cleaning products in favor of environment and consumer friendly products, has proven to be a responsible, beneficial, and profitable avenue for both cleaning service owners delivering the service and business owners seeking it.

    Common consumer products can be rife with chemicals that are well-known to be toxic, irritants, or generally compromise the health of anyone consistently in contact with them. A consumer in a business or an employee of that business continuously exposed to traditional, and sometimes toxic cleaning products represents a potential loss in productivity in your employees due to sickness and the potential loss of a customer due exposure to products known to contain irritants. Simple glass and all-purpose cleaners may contain chemicals such as Isopropyl alcohol which can irritate the skin, eyes, nose, and throat, or butoxyethanol which can cause headaches, dizziness, lightheadedness, and confusion.

    Utilizing green cleaning methods has proven to have both economic and health benefits for businesses in this era. Exposure to these techniques have shown to improve the productivity and morale of the facility occupants, reduce liabilities from worker safety issues, and improve the health of the building occupants, which represents an overall increase in revenue and builds trust and cohesion within that facility.

    Although it may be far fetched to forecast a future composed solely of green products, the market for green cleaning is growing, thriving, and will at the very least be offered along with traditional cleaning techniques for consumers to choose henceforth.

    Green Cleaning Program means combining certified cleaners, tools, equipment, training and cleaning processes to reduce the environmental footprint for a better environment and a much more pleasant work environment. We  understand the implementation of a successful green cleaning program is one that involves a team approach between facility management and Vito Clean. To be successful it takes the cooperation of everyone that cleans, maintains and occupies the building.

    Vito Clean is ready to implement our Green Cleaning Program at your Property.  Whether you are working toward LEED certification or merely want to promote a healthy, green cleaning lifestyle, Vito Clean can deliver the service that meets your needs. Vito Cleans green cleaning procedures are focused on preventative measures. An important goal is to trap and remove dirt and pollutants before they enter the building and prevent cross-contamination. In addition, particles and chemicals in the air are minimized mechanically by capturing dust and dirt, using course spray application process and applying the cleaner to the cloth rather than spraying the surface to be cleaned. A non chemical cleaning system accurately dilutes the product. We focus on touch-points such as doorknobs and fixtures. Restroom disinfectant is applied properly to ensure dwell time, so soil is thoroughly removed and fewer products used.
