Green Cleaning involves using green or environmentally preferred products and practices to clean your facility. Our green cleaning is much more than just using “green” cleaning products. We have developed a complete green cleaning system to help you maintain a healthy building.

Our GreenKeeping Practice

Our GreenOne cleaning program will provide whole-building green cleaning and maintenance practices, using:

• Sustainable cleaning chemicals that meet the Green Seal GS-37 standard.
• Use of micro-fiber wipes, dust cloths and dust mops in place of paper wipes (and where paper products are used, use of products that contain at least 30% recycled content and which are recyclable).
• Floor finishes and strippers, are VOC free, durable, slip resistant and free of zinc (metal-free) and meet the GS-40 and/or CCD-147.
• Carpet Care Products and equipment for low moisture (encapsulation) that met the requirements of GS-37 and/or CCD-148.
• Proper training of maintenance personnel in the recycling programs, hazards, use maintenance and disposal of cleaning chemicals, dispensing equipment and packaging.
• Hand soaps that do not contain antimicrobial agents, except where required by health codes.
• We use cleaning equipment that reduces impacts on IAQ.

Green Certified Equipment

• Vacuum cleaners certified by the Carpet and Rug Institute “Green Label” Testing Program operate with a sound level of less than 70dBA.
• Carpet extraction equipment certified by the Carpet and Rug Institute’s “Seal of Approval” program, which tests the effectiveness of extractors in three categories: soil removal, water removal and texture retention.
• Floor maintenance equipment, including floor buffers and burnishers that operate with a sound level of less than 70dBA.
• Propane-powered floor equipment, which has high-efficiency; low-emissions engines with catalytic converters and mufflers that meet the California Air Resources Board or EPA standards for the specific engine size and operate with a sound level of less than 90dBA.
• Battery-powered equipment that is equipped with environmentally safe gel batteries.

We provide a copy of a low environmental impact cleaning policy that meets these criteria. As a company we will provide documentation that this policy has been followed, showing:

• Specifications for chemicals used.
• Dates and activities associated with cleaning maintenance.
• Dates and outline of cleaning worker training.

Green Cleaning Benefits

• Improved indoor air quality. A healthier indoor environment will lead to increased productivity and reduced absenteeism.
• Using green products and practices, such as use of less hazardous cleaning chemicals, proper chemical storage, use and disposal, lessens the likelihood of accidents, fires, spills and explosions.
• Financial benefits. Green Cleaning focuses on keeping the dirt and soil out, and preventive maintenance. This leads to lower cleaning and maintenance costs.
• Happier building occupants. Employees like to work in buildings where the owners and managers show concern for their health and well-being.
• Increased building value. By implementing green features such as energy efficient lighting and non-toxic cleaners, you can increase your building’s value.
