Green cleaning is a process that encompasses more than just the use of eco-friendly cleaning agents when cleaning your building or residence. Green cleaning involves responsible building maintenance, the use of barriers to reduce the amount of soil/containmants entering the building, energy/water conservation and a recycling program. All of these services are focused on lowering the amount of natural resources used to cleanse and maintain a building while lowering the carbon footprint of your home or facility.

The benefits of green cleaning:

• Improved indoor air quality through the use of Green Seal certified cleaning agents
• Reduced exposure to chemicals, pollutants and allergens
• Increased productivity due to fewer sick days and employee absences
• May lower costs associated with your facility’s maintenance
• Improved general appearance of building
• Increased life span of building and facilities
