Benefits of obtaining green cleaning certification

09 Feb 2026 1:30 PM | Colleen Charles

Achieving green cleaning certification is more than a professional milestone. It is a commitment to the health of the population and the long-term sustainability of our world. By adopting non-toxic, biodegradable and low-VOC Cleaning agents, certified professionals actively reduce the release of harmful chemicals into the air and waterways. Traditional cleaning products often contain certain harsh substances like ammonia, chlorine and endocrine disruptors that can contaminate ecosystems and harm aquatic Life through chemical runoff. In contrast, green certified cleaners prioritize plant-based, eco-friendly formulas that break down naturally, and safeguards the environment for future generations. 

On an individual and company level, certification through the international janitorial cleaning services association provides a significant advantage in an increasingly eco-conscious market. The global cleaning services market now has sustainability as a primary expectation rather than a trend. Being listed in the IJCSA Green Cleaning Directory increases your visibility to clients who specifically seek certified green vendors to meet their own social responsibility goals. This certification serves as a powerful marketing tool, allowing businesses to command premium pricing while building a deep brand loyalty with customers who value environmental stewardship. 

The health benefits of a certified green cleaning program are profound, offering protection for both the cleaning staff and the building occupants. Conventional cleaners frequently release volatile organic compounds that degrade indoor air quality and are linked to respiratory issues and skin irritation. Certified green cleaning professionals use hypoallergenic and non-flammable products that create a safer workspace that can lead to fewer sick days and improved employee morale. This transition ensures that vulnerable populations can thrive in environments free from toxic fumes and irritants.
