Cleaning is essential for maintaining an attractive and healthy workplace for all. A clean office helps ensure the safety of the staff and makes a great impression on the visitors. There are many ways to clean an office, one of which is the use of eco-friendly cleaning products. Green cleaning is a growing trend in the industry and one that can keep buildings clean without harming the environment. Clean Group explains all about eco-friendly cleaning and its benefits.
Clean Group is a Sydney-based commercial cleaning company with 20+ years of experience. It was founded by Suji Siv and is a family-run business providing services to both top organisations and small businesses all over Sydney.
According to Clean Group CEO, Suji Siv, “Cleaning can have a detrimental impact on the environment depending on the products one uses for cleaning. Many cleaning agents available in the store contain harsh chemicals that are unsafe both for people and the environment.
This is why green cleaning is the need of the hour. It refers to the use of eco-friendly cleaning products and practices such as minimising the waste of water in cleaning”
There are many great benefits of environmentally friendly cleaning, the most important of which is the safety of people. Because eco-friendly cleaners do not contain toxic chemicals, they will not cause any harm to those who clean and those who are nearby when cleaning is being done, i.e. the cleaners, office employees, visitors, customers and all.
That is to say, these products do not release toxic fumes or substances or cause allergies or other effects upon touch and are totally safe to use. A business owner should care not only about keeping their premises clean but also about how cleaning is being done and its impact on people and the environment. Green cleaning products are safe to use and recommended over conventional cleaners.
Traditionally, cleaners are required to use protective gear and instruments, including gloves, masks and even PPE kits when cleaning using conventional products. The reason is that these products contain harsh chemicals that can cause serious harm to anyone who comes in contact with them.
However, there is no such issue with green cleaning supplies. Using these products will not only assure the safety of cleaning staff but also reduce the cost of cleaning by removing the need for high-end protective gear.
In addition, many green cleaning products are made with basic ingredients such as lemon, vinegar and baking soda, which makes them less expensive than chemical-based cleaners.
Many homeowners as well as professional cleaners use homemade cleaning solutions because they are both effective cleaners and safe for everyone’s health.
Many of these homemade cleaners can effectively clean almost all types of surfaces and stains. Baking soda, for instance, can be used to clean everything from floors to sinks and toilets and easily remove the most stubborn stains.
Lastly, green cleaning products are safe for the environment, unlike conventional cleaners that have many harsh chemicals that can be destructive to the ecosystem and can contaminate the air, water and earth. The use of many store-bought cleaners results in the release of chemical fumes that will pollute the air and make it difficult or harmful to breathe.
Similarly, when this chemical residue or liquid left from cleaning is disposed of in water bodies such as rivers, it might contaminate the water, causing serious health risks for marine life and anyone who uses this contaminated water.
Eco-friendly cleaning products are safe for the environment and people. The myth that eco-friendly cleaners are not as good as conventional cleaning products has been busted completely, thanks to the new, advanced cleaning products that besides being green offer great performance at no risk to health or the environment.
Many top cleaning companies have started migrating to an all-green portfolio and are now offering eco-friendly cleaning services using natural products to their customers. They understand this is the future of cleaning and the best way to ensure that the office environment is clean, fresh and healthy at all times.
“Cleaning is no longer just about efficiency and results, it is also crucial that the means used to achieve those results are safe and eco-friendly. Cleaning customers want their service providers to adopt green cleaning products and practices. Soon, this will not just be an option. It is better if companies start practising it already.
Clean Group started transitioning to eco-friendly cleaning about two years back and is now a full-fledged provider of green cleaning services for commercial properties in Sydney,” adds Suji Siv.
