Are Your Current Cleaners Actually “Green”?

What is Eco Office Cleaning?

Being eco-friendly may be the new trend, but what qualifies a cleaning company as “green”? Besides implementing green cleaning practices, a green cleaning company must also use non-toxic cleaning products that are made with natural ingredients, minimize their environmental impact by using cleaning supplies that reduces waste and must acquire green certification. Without having a proper certification, your current cleaners may not be fully “green”. Save yourself the headache and stress and do thorough research before hiring an eco-friendly cleaning company. Here’s what you need to know to ensure your current cleaners are actually “green”.
