Everything You Need to Know About Green Cleaning
Green cleaning is sweeping the nation as we learn more about how our cleaning supplies affect our health and environment. This new commitment to a greener and cleaner way to do things is a great way to get the clean you need without compromising your ideals. TNT Group Janitorial + Building Solutions knows how important green cleaning is and has put together a quick guide to green cleaning and everything you need to know about it.
What is Green Cleaning?
Depending on the setting, green cleaning can mean a few different things. Many green households pertain to green cleaning, using only household items like baking soda, vinegar, and lemons to clean the home. Since these are considered natural cleaners, for these private spaces using natural ingredients works great.
For other households and even commercial cleaning companies, green cleaning comes down to selecting products that are manufactured to be healthy for the environment. This includes manufacturing processes and ingredients. They often use many of the same ingredients as the all-natural versions you'll find in a home, with some upgraded qualities.
Green cleaning products often have the following characteristics:
• No phosphates
• No artificial fragrances or colors
• No chlorine
• Biodegradable, recyclable, or reusable packaging
• Organic ingredients with sustainable farming practices.
Another important aspect of green cleaning is being aware of sustainability. True green cleaning does what it can to ensure we limit cleaning waste (like paper towels, garbage, and plastic jugs). Green cleaning companies do their part to ensure they limit the waste that comes from their everyday and deep cleaning and disinfection services.
Does Green Cleaning Work?
Sure does! (Otherwise, TNT Group Janitorial + Building Solutions wouldn’t use it, would we?) Although there is a stigma with natural cleaners that they might not be as potent as artificial cleaners, that’s a misconception. Natural cleaners pack the same punch as synthetic ingredients (if not more).
Industrial-strength green cleaners are tested using the same rigorous standards as synthetic-sourced cleaners. As a result, they'll have the same impact on your cleaning needs as an artificial product, with less impact on the earth.
Do Commercial Companies Do Green Cleaning?
Not only are there companies that integrate green cleaning supplies and processes into their services, but there are also companies that specialize specifically in green cleaning. Both these kinds of companies bring a healthier approach to cleaning by using more natural cleaners while still meeting government regulations. They also reduce waste and draw on natural resources through sustainability practices.
Can You Use Green Cleaning in Office and Commercial Spaces?
Green cleaning is an excellent choice for all kinds of commercial spaces. It's healthier for your customers and employees, which is important in all spaces but can be especially useful in medical fields or school spaces. At the same time, it will help your company stay in line with environmental and green policies in your area by ensuring more sustainable cleaning practices in the day-to-day operations. With cleaning solutions that feature natural ingredients but are still held to the highest cleaning standards, your office space can have a thorough natural clean.
