    Green Cleaning

    The benefit of offering a green cleaning program is that it promotes good health, safety, and environmental and social awareness. To implement this program all employees will undergo a mandatory training that involves taking a holistic view of the building, including its purpose.  It will be important to understand how employees of the business operate within the structure in order meet customer expectations, goals, and budget.  Even utilizing small, basic changes can improve the quality of an indoor environment. 

    As part of Priority Office Cleaners green cleaning program and in general practice we will implement procedures such as color-coding cleaning materials to prevent cross-contamination from one room to another, focusing on entry and exit points to trap and dirt before it enters the building, implementing a recycling program, using green products, and working with the customer to implement flyers that inform employees how to be involved in the process of creating a healthy ‘green’ environment.

    Tradewinds Contracting Services, LLC is a new business providing residential and commercial cleaning services.  Today I had a meeting with a representative from the NYS Department of Labor, Division of Safety & Health.  This meeting was so enlightening and opened my eyes to a different way of cleaning.  Also I understood that our city and state is always seeking those contractors who are mindful of people as well as our environment.  This led me to contact  IJCSA to obtain certain certifications.

    After discussing going Green with my colleagues, we began to plan what would be the first steps needed to accomplish this transition. Because this is a new process we will plan in stages.  Being so new in business, and because we have at this time few customers, we will tackle one client at a time hoping for a smooth transition.     

    Because we are a fairly new company we are qualified by the State of NY to have free training.  We will take advantage of this opportunity and schedule to have all of our staff fully trained in green cleaning.  As it relates to the change in products and equipment we will research manufacturers of green products and equipment to compare for our needs. 

    Also we will contact experienced green cleaning companies in order to understand what works and what doesn't. We would write new procedures and incorporate them in our employee work manual, making sure that each employees is adhering to the new way we clean as well as the new equipment we use.  

    We will then do a presentation to our client to show the advantages of using green products compared to toxic ones. We will show how green products are environmentally safe both for their employees and well as ours, reducing allegies and sick time. We would also let our clients know that not only would we be using green products if approved in their establishment but also in ours because we believe in it.

    Excessive amounts of mold and certain types of mold may cause serious health concerns, including severe allergies and breathing problems. Arranging to have professionals conduct mold removal and mold remediation as soon as the presence of mold is detected, is important not only for the health of you and your family, but for the protection of your property.

    Water damage is one of the leading causes for mold growth in your home or business. Therefore, it is important to have your water damage cleaned promptly and professionally.

    Signs of the presence of excessive mold include: the presence of visible mold--strong, musty odors--evidence of past moisture problems that may have caused undetected mold growth--excessive humidity.

    Green cleaning is beneficial not only to ourselves as cleaners, but also to our clients, their family, and their pets. There are no toxic chemicals that may be absorbed through the skin, into the air, or rinsed down the drain and into the water supply. Using eco-friendly products will also promote a healthy indoor air environment which is especially good for those with asthma and/or allergies.

    Many commercial cleaning products contain ingredients that emit volitile organic compounds that can affect indoor air quality as well as contribute to smog in outdoor air. Surfactant ingredients commonly found in cleaners have been proven to disrupt the endocrine (reproductive) function in water species and wildlife. Not only does green cleaning wipe away dirt and grime, it also helps to eliminate odors and purify the air. There are no harsh chemicals involved, which may contribute to environmental damage such as water and air pollution.
