What is Green Cleaning?

Green Cleaning is the use of products and services that reduce the health and environmental impact compared to similar products and services used for the same purpose. Another definition of Green Cleaning is to safeguard human health while minimizing the impact to the environment. Its goal is to protect the health of building occupants, visitors and cleaning personnel, as well as reducing polluting effects on our air and water.

Green Cleaning encompasses a total program including chemicals, procedures, equipment, paper, liners, mops, matting, everything used in an effective cleaning program.

Why should we be concerned with Green Cleaning?

  • 80% of our time is spent indoors.
  • EPA rates the indoor enivironment is potentially 3-5 times more harmful to humans than the outdoor environment.
  • EPA rates indoor air quality as one of the top 5 health risks.
  • Two-thirds of commercial buildings are rated as having "sick building syndrome" = $20 billion in worker compensation claims.
  • There are 100 million lost work days each year due to poor indoor air quality = $100 billion.

These numbers emphasize the immediate need to be concerned about the cleaning process and its effect on the health of the user, occupant, visitor and the indoor and outdoor environment.
