Implementing a green cleaning program at URBAN URBANE
Since I am the sole-proprietor and only employee of my cleaning business, and since I do all the product selection and purchasing, it will not be at all difficult for me to implement a green cleaning program for URBAN URBANE.
I have actually been interested in environmental and conservation issues since I was a child. I can recall being bothered by litter and pollution as far back as elementary school, and I have been an active recycler almost continuously since college.
I have had the opportunity to try a good number of green or eco-friendly cleaning products since I started my business in 2012 – and with mixed results. Some I have been very happy with – and others not so much. But I continue to keep an open mind. I regularly purchase, use, and evaluate the performance of various green products when I have an appropriate occasion to do so.
I read labels, look up ingredients, and read material safety data sheets. I consider the product’s claims, and I contact suppliers to ask questions about their products when necessary. While I do not think that green products are always the best choice for every job, I do find them to be more than adequate for maintenance cleaning.
While I have not yet finalized my green cleaning program for URBAN URBANE, I think I am likely to offer both a strict all-green cleaning option for those clients who really want it, and a slightly more flexible option for those who want green products used most of the time, but who are open to more traditional products when the need arises.
