What are the advantages of green cleaning?
The evidence shows, again and again, that businesses can benefit from green cleaning and green practices. Most companies in the United States expect their commercial cleaning company to use environmental cleaning products. The reality is, they don’t. Most companies do not have the training, the expertise, or the certification to do this. KISS Janitorial has all three.
The Rewards
Over the years, there has been a fundamental shift in environmental thinking. In the past, it was viewed as a burden on business that would depress profits and hurt competitiveness. Today, environmentally friendly products work as well or better than harsher chemicals and we are in a much more enlightened era that not only understands the environmental benefits of green products and practices, but also recognizes that there are real business benefits as well, such as:
Safer working conditions for workers, tenants, and customers’ employees (There are 100 million lost work days each year due to poor indoor air quality which translates in to $167 billion dollars that is lost in productivity.) Fewer trips to the emergency room. Nine out of ten poison exposures are suspected to be from ordinary cleaning products.
Decreases Workers' Compensation claims, and lowers insurance costs. Reduces liabilities and lawsuits.
Proper green cleaning maintenance extends the longevity and performance of buildings and furnishings by preventing damage and premature aging, which in turn reduces waste and unnecessary spending.
The ability to bid on federal, state and local contracts that specify environmental standards and improves community relations.
Source reduction will greatly impact the amount of materials dumped into the landfill each year by using recycled paper & plastics.
In Conclusion
Many people are realizing that going green is no longer just a tree-hugging and “Save The Planet” fad. In fact, the cleaning industry alone consumes six billion pounds of chemicals a year including non-renewable natural resources such as petroleum. Nearly all of those chemicals are damaging to the environment and mankind. Losing your health, can mean losing your life. And then, does it matter what kind of house you live in? Does it matter what kind of car you drive? Does it matter how nice your clothes are? No. And once it is lost, no amount of money can replace that. Now that you’ve weighted both sides of the issue, it is time to make your choice.
