Suggestions for Greener Cleaning

Purchase Good Entry Mats

Keep dirt, water, and salt out of your facility in the first place; cuts cleaning time and chemical use

Maintain Finish on Tile vs. Stripping Finish

Stripping tile is costly and harmful to the environment.  Scrubbing and recoating saves money and looks better

Move to Dilution Systems

You save energy use (and money) by not shipping, storing, and paying for water in cleaning products

Use Recycled Tissue with Post-Consumer Fiber

Save money by moving to standard papers, change dispensers if needed, look for EPA post-consumer content

Try Peroxide Cleaners

The newest generation of these products are safe, inexpensive, and versatile

Find Safer Substitutes for Cleaning Chemicals

Use the safest chemicals that get the job done

Use Microfiber Cloths

They improve results, reduce the amount of chemicals needed, and are relatively inexpensive

Use Water-Based Wood Floor Finish vs. Oil Finish

Especially in moderate traffic areas, reduces volatile organic compounds in air.  For heavy traffic, use lower-VOC oils

Consider Autoscrubbers for Large Areas

Use much less chemicals, cut labor costs, and support no-stripping idea

Reduce Use of Disinfectants and Antibacterial Soaps

Improve indoor air quality, reduce impact on marine life, save money
