GREEN CLEANING OVERVIEW

GREEN CLEANING OVERVIEW

The cleaning industry is enormous, consuming billions of pounds of cleaning, chemicals and janitorial paper annually.  This has a tremendous impact on our air, water, soil, and other resources.  Hundreds of millions of pounds of equipment are dumped into landfills every year.  That's why, through our Green Cleaning program, Enviro-Clean is committed to help preserve our natural resources for future generations.

Our Enviro-Green program incorporates certified products and equipment into the cleaning process, but is distinguished by the training and service support you would expect from a leader in green cleaning.  We are committed to providing our customers with the highest quality, environmentally responsible service solutions.

Examples of Enviro-Green processes are:

• The greenest, high performance chemicals available are used
• Office trash is emptied into thick, reusable trash bags
• Vacuums have near HEPA filtration systems
• Auto-scrubbers use foam technology, lessening the use of chemicals
• Carpets receive a final clean water rinse after cleaning
• Re-usable micro-fiber cloths are used for dusting rather than throw away cloths
• Acids have little place in the Enviro-Green program
• Aerosols are not used except where no other satisfactory substitute is available
• The use of entrance mats to stop the dirt at the door is encouraged
• Vacuums replace dust mops where feasible
• Chemicals are dispensed from a metering system so no chemical is wasted and dilution is correct

• Introduce no contaminants into the atmosphere of the customer facility through use of chemicals.
• Remove contaminants (dust, soil, micro-organisms, and other pollutants) from the working environment.
• Stop dirt at the doorways using effective matting systems.
• Use only environmentally friendly products.
• Kill infectious organisms using chemicals that do not cause risk to our associates or the building occupants.
