5 Tools Everybody In The Office Cleaning Company Industry Need To Be Using.
Today, people are more concerned than ever about the environment. We buy "green" products for ourselves, like laundry detergent, and we use "green" cleaning products in our homes, products that don't pollute the environment, products made of natural ingredients that are non-toxic. What about commercial cleaning service options, though? Can a commercial cleaning company use only green products, as well? Absolutely. In fact, many cleaning companies these days advertise themselves as "green" companies. These companies use only non-toxic products when they clean, saving both you and the environment. Here's how: Fewer allergenic substances are released in a closed environment Fortunately or unfortunately, commercial buildings became much more energy-efficient a decade or more ago. With better sealed windows, and no cracks or crevices to let out warmth or cooling, business owners saw their energy bills go way down. That's great for cost savings, but it also means that any toxins stay in the air instead of being released out into the environment, to the outdoors. This is called "sick building" syndrome, and it's made even worse if you hire a commercial cleaning company that doesn't use environmentally responsible or "green" cleaning products. When you hire a commercial cleaning service that doesn't use green products to clean your office or building, the toxins in their cleaning supplies stay trapped in the building and its air, such that you and your coworkers end up breathing them in. That's certainly unpleasant, and you can also make you sick. Fewer pollutants When commercial cleaning service companies use their "regular" toxic commercial products to clean your office or building, they sometimes must dilute these products in water to use them, such as when they're mopping the floor. When they dump that water, the dirt from the floor goes with it into the sewer system, of course, but the toxins from the chemicals in the cleaning solution also end up in the sewage system. In a worst-case scenario, this can mean it ends up in the water supply itself. You and others in your city can end up ingesting these toxins, in your drinking water. By contrast, a commercial cleaning company that uses non-toxic environmentally friendly products won't pollute your water supply. Certainly, the dirt from the floors in the cleaning solution used on the floors and other services ends up in the sewer system, but because the cleaning solutions are non-toxic and biodegradable, they break down and become harmless to the environment; in turn, they become harmless to you. A positive impact on your bottom line That's right; hiring a commercial cleaning company that uses non-toxic "green" cleaning solutions can actually bode well for your bottom line. Because you and your colleagues are not continually exposed to toxins, having to breathe them in and putting up with poor indoor air quality, your health improves -- as does the health of your colleagues. Better health means fewer sick days, lower health care costs, and greater productivity. Environmental responsibility Finally, green products are simply better for the environment, and responsible business owners know that when they support the environment, they support their community. Consider hiring a commercial cleaning service that utilizes green products; by doing so, you're being good to the environment, and will positively impact your community at the same time. Today, people are more worried than ever about the environment. We buy "green" items for ourselves, like laundry detergent, and we utilize "green" cleaning items in our houses, items that do not contaminate the environment, items made from natural active ingredients that are non-toxic.
