WHY clean green?
#1. Safety
Using green products is not only safer for the people doing the cleaning, but also for the people that live or work in the space being cleaned. Some conventional cleaning products can release harmful chemicals that can linger in the air or be absorbed into our bodies. This can result in burns, irritated eyes, and allergic reactions.
#2. Green Cleaning Improves Air Quality
Have you ever walked into a room and been shocked by the harsh smell of cleaning chemicals? Not with green cleaning products, they are made using natural essential oils, and can even be completely scent free. Healthier air leads to fewer problems with allergies and asthma.
#3. Clean Air = Increased Productivity
Better air quality means that people are breathing cleaner, fresher air. This helps people focus and think more clearly. This is especially beneficial while at work.
WHEN clean green?
Always. The practice of cleaning green should become your regular cleaning routine. Not sure how to start? No problem. First, find the right green products. Looking for the Green Seal, Ecologo, or Safer Choice certification is a great way to avoid “greenwashing” and ensure that you are using legitimate green products.
