Green Cleaning at Metropolitan

Why should you look for green cleaners to service your office or commercial space? There are numerous benefits to hiring green cleaners. For instance, they use cleaning solutions that:

• Are better for everyone’s health in the environment
• Have less “chemical” odor
• Demonstrate care for the environment
• Have less corrosive and harsh to furniture, floors, windows and finishes
• Promote cost savings in the long run
• Provide a better standard of care overall

By hiring a green cleaning company whose solutions and supplies are good for the environment, you communicate to your staff, clients, and customers that you care about them. This in turn improves the performance of your staff, and inspires trust and loyalty from your clients and customers.

Do Green Cleaners Decrease Absenteeism?

Green cleaners use eco-friendly products that are better for the environment, which includes your colleagues in the office. Many of the chemicals used in traditional cleaners have carcinogens and other kinds of hazardous ingredients that can really hurt anyone spending time in the environment breathing them in. These chemicals, known as volatile organic compound (VOCs), include:

• Phthalates
• Chlorine
• Ammonia
• Sodium Lauryl Sulphate
• Limonene
• Sodium Hydroxide
• Perchloroethylene (PERC)

These chemicals can exacerbate asthma and breathing issues, trigger headaches and migraines, and lead to declining levels of health.

Are Green Cleaning Solutions Really Better for the Environment?

The products Green cleaners use are absolutely better for the environment because they:

• Are derived from more sustainable sources
• Cut down on the use of non-biodegradable plastic packaging
• Reduce everyone’s exposure to toxic chemicals (because the chemicals drain into the water system)
• Improves indoor air quality
• Create a sense of community and wellbeing amongst staff knowing they’re well taken care of
• Lowers the office’s environmental footprint

What Does Opting to Use Green Cleaners Say About You?

By switching to a Green Cleaner who thinks about the global impact they have you are communicating your office’s commitment to sustainability and the health and wellbeing of your office – but that’s only half the benefit! It is also important to work with a janitorial company that is equally committed to using green cleaning products and methods, otherwise all of your good work will be for nothing.
