It is a great advantage to have a green cleaning program implemented in any facility: residential, commercial, or educational.  First and foremost the environmental benefits are the most advantageous.  Using cleaning methods that are environmentally friendly can help to preserve the environment and area from harmful chemicals that can have damaging effects.  Another benefit is it is safer. Harsh chemicals that can cause allergic reactions or present a high risk of illness if accidentally ingested or inhaled are greatly minimized in a green cleaning environment. This allows not only a safer work place for custodial employees but also a safer place for everyone.  This would be especially something to be considered in a residential or preschool/school environment where young children are present.

A green cleaning program presents many benefits for everyone.  Taking advantage of the wide variety of green cleaning agents and researching the best and most efficient agents is essential.  It is important to ensure that the cleaning agent effectively cleans to the preferred status whether that be disinfection or sanitation. This in addition to other reasons is why proper training is essential for the staff.  When properly trained, these methods can be implemented and green cleaning can be an excellent choice for cleaning needs.
