When you have your office professionally cleaned, you know you’re making it a safer and healthier place to work. But the health and safety of your workplace depends on the commercial Cleaning products your cleaner uses. The Cleaning Company uses green office-Cleaning products to keep your office sanitary. Let’s look at how traditional Cleaning products affect the well-being of your building’s occupants. Then we’ll cover why a green Cleaning company is the Cleaning partner you’re looking for.
How Do Traditional Cleaning Products Affect Your Work Environment?
Conventional Cleaning products contain harsh chemicals that can harm your building occupants when used in your facility. For example, many traditional Cleaning supplies contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These compounds often cause headaches, respiratory problems, and other health issues when you use them in your office. VOCs also become problematic when you dispose of them, because they either biodegrade slowly or degrade into toxic chemicals after disposal, according to the EPA. Those toxic chemicals often end up in the water, threatening aquatic life. VOCs also get into the air and contribute to smog outside of your facility.
What Are Green Cleaning Products?
Green cleaning products meet the following criteria from the EPA:
- Use of renewable resources, including solvents created from seed, citrus, vegetable, and pine oils
- Lack of harsh chemicals, including irritating or corrosive substances, ozone-depleting compounds, regulated hazardous materials, and chemicals on the
- EPA’s list of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs)
- Standard definitions of biodegradability are met
- Low VOC content
- Low flammability
- Fragrance-free
These are just a handful of the criteria that eco-friendly Commercial maintenance products have to meet to receive the EPA’s approval (their website has a more extensive list). The products that meet these criteria create far fewer health and environmental risks than conventional Commercial maintenance products.
Do Green Cleaning Products Need To Meet Any Other Criteria?
Yes. Green Cleaning supplies need to meet packaging requirements as well, including:
- Recyclable packaging or packaging that contains recycled content
- Packaging free of heavy metals, phthalates, and BPA
- Use of pump sprays instead of aerosol cans
- Packaging created using renewable energy
The EPA has a fuller list of packaging requirements on its website.
