Benefits of Green Cleaning


What used to be an expensive luxury for small businesses 30 years ago has now become the mainstream norm. Most office managers have come to expect their janitors to use “green cleaning” methods. They realize that a proper green cleaning program will improve the indoor air quality and benefit the health and well being of their staff and visitors. A green cleaning program is also good for the planet, by using fewer and milder chemicals that could end up in the oceans or air.

Green Cleaning” refers to cleaning methods and products with environmentally friendly ingredients which are designed to preserve health and environmental quality. There is a range of products and methods that can be considered “green”. Modern industrial buildings use ionic water systems which create cleaning solutions from electrically charged water. These building maintenance systems use no chemicals besides salt, but are too expensive for most small businesses. Many affordable products are available which are designed to have low volatility, high dilution rates, and are biodegradable, all environmentally desirable traits.

HEPA (high efficiency particle air) filter vacuums can also be considered part of a green program. They have been around for many years, but have been made more efficient in recent years. HEPA filter vacuum cleaners catch and hold more and smaller dirt and dust particles and so leave a cleaner air after use. The most important part of any green program is the cleaning personnel trained in the proper methods. They must know the proper green chemicals for each specific cleaning job and the proper dilution rates of these solutions. Custodians must have and maintain all of the proper tools and microfiber attachments and cloths, plus keep them clean, laundered and replaced as needed. Lastly, each janitor must understand the advantages to himself and his building of a green program and so use it every day. Green cleaning products and techniques are readily available and with few exceptions are competitively priced. “It doesn’t take green to go green.” With the properly implemented green janitorial program, the results are noticeable; cleaner indoor air, improved health of staff, and boosted productivity. The result of good office cleaning should be not just a clean office, but a “green” cleaned office.

There are some third party certifications, such as Green Seal and ECOLOGO, to verify that a product is “green”. However, all modern cleaning chemicals must meet government environmental standards before they can be sold. Besides, most maintenance managers agree that it is not so much the brand of product, but how it is diluted and used that determines its environmental safety. Another product that has become readily available in the past 10 years are microfiber cloths. They are made of tiny hollow fibers that attract and hold dirt and germs far better than cotton or other materials. Most common cleaning tools can utilize microfiber, including wet mop heads, dust mop heads, and different sizes of cleaning cloths. Use of these products cleans faster, more effectively, uses fewer chemicals, and benefits health by removing more germs from surfaces cleaned.
