Green Tips & Tricks
Environmentally-Conscious Cleaning Reduces Costs
Custodial and facilities staff, trained in environmentally safe cleaning products and practices, can positively impact the facility’s budget. An effective program can reduce costs to building management, tenants, and/or the janitorial company, including costs associated with sick leave, health care, productivity loss and litigation.
The actual cost of environmentally friendly cleaning products has become more competitive with the price of conventional counterparts, especially when other factors are considered in determining the true cost. For example, a conventional product that is extremely high in alkaline could burn a custodian, which would result in additional medical and sick leave costs, and these increased operating costs may be passed on to the business.
Healthier Environments Provides Satisfaction at All Levels
Healthier employees mean happier employees. Studies have shown that increased worker satisfaction, improved morale, reduced absenteeism, and increased productivity and efficiency. Employees, customers, and even students, appreciate knowing that green practices and environmentally friendly cleaning products are used in the building. Going green helps you market your business as a socially conscious one.
