What is Green Cleaning?
Green cleaning is about sustainability, reducing pollutants, improving the health/safety of workers, and respecting the environment. It involves the use of eco-friendly cleaning products and specialized cleaning procedures and equipment. High-quality vacuum cleaners, containing HEPA filters, are used to eliminate mould spores, dust, dirt, and unpleasant smells, purifying the air. Steam vapour equipment is used to sanitize many surfaces. Non-caustic, non-toxic, biodegradable cleaning products are employed. Reusable microfiber mops and cloths are used to remove dirt and oil. A commercial cleaning company that utilizes green cleaning standards efficiently cleans your workspace while protecting the health of the environment and your employees.
Why Does Strathcona Cleaners Prioritize Green Cleaning and Eco-Friendly Cleaning Solutions?
There are many reasons why Strathcona Cleaners chooses to use green cleaning and eco-friendly solutions.
-
To protect the environment: Standard cleaning products contain chemicals (phosphorus, nitrogen, ammonia, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulphate, etc.) that are hazardous. These substances enter the water supply affecting flora, fauna, and humans. The Canadian Environmental Protection Agency recommends the use of non-toxic, biodegradable cleaners that have low VOCs.
-
To Improve indoor air quality: VOCs are released from standard cleaning products causing damage to the kidneys, liver, and central nervous system. They contribute to indoor air pollution. Non-toxic, green cleaning products are free of VOCs, promoting improved indoor air quality.
-
To become a role model: By utilizing non-toxic, green cleaning products and eco-friendly cleaning solutions, Strathcona Cleaners acts as a role model for other cleaning businesses. We help promote a healthier planet.
-
To reduce waste: Many manufacturers of green cleaning products create multi-use cleaners that cut down on unnecessary waste.
-
To lower allergens: Standard cleaning products contain irritants and/or allergens (perfumes, ammonia, synthetic fragrances, caustics, chlorine, formaldehyde, bleach, sulphates, dyes, etc.). Green cleaning products have fewer or none of these harmful ingredients.
-
To reduce animal cruelty: Natural cleaning manufacturers often create products without animal testing.
-
To protect skin: Human skin absorbs the chemicals from cleaners. Harsh cleaning solutions containing bleach, chlorine, and other chemicals cause dry, itchy skin and/or rashes. Green cleaning products are gentle on the skin.
-
To avoid eye damage: Residue from toxic cleaners is found on surfaces and can be transferred to your eyes, resulting in irritation and damage. Green cleaning products alleviate and/or reduce this hazard.
-
To evade lung problems: If a cleaner is recommended for use in a well-ventilated area, it can potentially irritate the respiratory system, causing damage to people with allergies and/or asthma. These cleaners are more damaging to the lungs than the dust, mould, and dander they remove. Non-toxic, green cleaning products are safer and gentler.
-
To reduce wear and tear: Harsh cleaners are aggressive to furniture, desks, and countertops, causing fading and marring the finish. Green cleaning products are typically less caustic, creating less wear and tear.
-
To reduce heavy odours: Chemical cleaners typically have a heavy, noticeable scent. Manufacturers attempt to cover these odours by using more chemicals. To ensure indoor air quality, switch to green cleaning products which typically leave none or few lingering smells.
-
To get the job done: Eco-friendly, green cleaning products are as effective as conventional cleaners, without the health risks and toxins. Strathcona Cleaners gets the job done through their use.
-
To create a better public image: Green cleaning products and eco-friendly cleaning initiatives create a positive public image for your business, showcasing your company’s commitment to the health of employees and the environment.
-
To give back to the community: Manufacturers of non-toxic cleaning products are often socially responsible, giving a portion of their profits to charities that further environmental, social, and educational change. Purchasing green cleaning products from these corporations enables Strathcona Cleaners to give back to the community.
