What Is Green Cleaning?

Many businesses and households are beginning to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle, in an attempt to reduce carbon footprint and preserve natural resources. Despite this, many still use cleaning products that are toxic to the environment. Cleaning products that are not eco-friendly or green, can have a negative impact on the health of your employees, staff, and family. This is due to the fact that chemicals found in common cleaning products may contribute to causing asthma, cancer, or even birth defects. That is why it is important to work with a cleaning company that embraces a green cleaning philosophy. 

The term “green cleaning” can have a lot of definitions, in short, it is cleaning by using products that help reduce waste that can potentially damage our bodies, water, air, and overall ecosystem. The process is to utilize cleaning solutions and methods that keep us and our environment healthy and free of toxins. Many believe that eco-friendly cleaning products are not strong enough but this is far from true, as eco-friendly products are strong enough to get any cleaning job done. Green cleaning products typically have the following characteristics: no phosphates, no chlorine, no artificial fragrances, no artificial colors, are biodegradable or have recyclable packaging.
