Going Green: Making the Switch to Environmentally Friendly Practices
The face of the modern business world is changing rapidly, with more emphasis than ever before on the adoption of low-impact, earth-friendly practices. The decision to go green comes with a wide variety of benefits, from helping to protect the environment to providing a safer, healthier place for staff and building occupants.
Common chemicals found in traditional cleaning solutions have been found to cause skin irritation and respiratory damage, not just for cleaning staff but also for the occupants of buildings where these chemicals are used. Moving towards a greener cleaning plan allows you to remove those harsh, potentially dangerous chemicals from your property and to opt for safer, equally effective alternatives.
Going Green, Beyond Chemical Reduction
The first thing that comes to mind for most people when they think of “going green” is the reduction or outright elimination of harsh chemicals. While this does play a major role in any green cleaning regimen, there’s more to eco-friendly cleaning than simply switching products. To successfully make the switch to a more earth-conscious method of cleaning, facility managers and owners must also carefully consider the impact the rest of their existing methods has on the environment as a whole. Going green means striving to eliminate the waste of resources like paper and water, as well as a focus on energy use.
Some traditional methods of cleaning can actually make conditions worse, requiring the expenditure of further resources to address existing issues. As an example, a traditional vacuum cleaner which is not fitted with an adequate filtration system may remove dirt and dust from carpets, but they’re also one of the leading contributors to airborne dust particles. The material is then aspirated by building occupants, and will eventually settle back to the carpet from which it was initially removed. This creates a difficult cycle to break; one which has an active and negative impact on people throughout your facility.
Making the Switch
Because the process of moving to a greener cleaning plan can be a lengthy process of selecting the right chemicals and equipment, it’s often a better financial investment and a more effective plan to work with a professional cleaning service who specializes in eco-friendly solutions. Together, you can help to make your facility a healthier one for both your occupants and the environment as a whole.
