Benefits/Implementation of Green Cleaning Program

10 Jan 2015 4:46 PM | Kathleen Woodard

 

The benefits to having a green cleaning program are the environment, improved workplace, and employees/clients. The environmental benefits of having a green cleaning program are a reduction of waste, conservation of natural resources, improvement of  both air and water quality, and protect ecosystems and biodiversity. It also minimizes the impact on ozone depletion and global climate change with fewer smog-producing chemicals. Next, the benefit of an improved workplace will a result of having a green cleaning program. Using green cleaning products help employees who suffer from respiratory and other health-related conditions, because green products contain fewer chemicals, and improves indoor air quality for all staff and building occupants by reducing levels of toxins. Lastly, employees/clients benefit from a green cleaning program because it reduces employee illness & absenteeism and employees/clients have fewer instances of asthma/allergic attacks; less eye, skin, and respiratory irritations.

Fanatic Green Cleaning Services plan to implement a green cleaning service program into business by using only EPA/EPP certified cleaning products, provide easily understood directions to cleaning staff. Train cleaning personnel in the proper handling of chemicals, proper use and maintenance of equipment, and proper cleaning procedures. Provide a comments and suggestions box for employees to use for workplace issues and suggestions for improvements in the provision of services. Purchase products and supplies in quantities that minimize the amount of packaging and container waste generated. Use reusable cleaning cloths or microfiber technology, whenever practicable, in lieu of paper products. Segregate and recycle all waste items from cleaning operations for recycling in the community.
