Green Cleaning

PlanetClean® takes great pride in sourcing and developing our Green Cleaning products and solutions. Our goal is to help you create a healthier, cleaner and safer environment for everyone.

There is growing evidence that green cleaning programs not only provide benefits to cleaning staff, but also to building occupants and visitors. More building owners are switching to green cleaning products and techniques or are asking that their cleaning service provider use environmentally sound cleaning practices.

What are the benefits of a green cleaning program?

• When building owners adopt an green building program they can be certified as a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) building. LEED certification shows a building’s owner has taken a role as an environmental leader.
• Cleaning companies are facing strong competition when they cannot provide “green” cleaning services. Including environmentally sound practices in your business will help you remain competitive.
• Green cleaning products are healthier for cleaning staff and building occupants. Studies show that building occupants, visitors and janitorial staff experience fewer incidents of skin, eye and respiratory irritation. Also less severe allergies and decreased headaches and nausea when cleaning contractors use green cleaning products.
• Healthier employees are happier employees and productivity increases. This also leads to higher employee morale, reduced absenteeism, and higher efficiency.
• Customers and Employees are becoming more demanding that environmentally friendly programs and practices are adopted. A green cleaning program gives you an edge in marketing your cleaning company.
• Many traditional cleaning products contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). When cleaning, VOC’s are released into the air through evaporation and can affect indoor air quality. Green cleaning helps to improve indoor air quality.
• Using energy efficient equipment, such as vacuum cleaners with hepa filters, and focusing on preventive maintenance, will lower expenses and replacement costs.

If you have not adopted green cleaning products and solutions into your business, its time to consider projecting a “green image” that is good for the environment, good for your employees and good for your bottom line.
