GREEN PROGRAM

ONE 01-LLC is launching a Green Cleaning Program for residential and commercial/ corporate properties

The commercial cleaning marketplace is undergoing a transformation. Concerns over the impact that conventional cleaning chemicals are having on custodial employees, building occupants, and the environment are driving many more facility executives to consider green cleaning. With the commercial cleaning industry using an estimated 8 billion pounds of chemicals and nearly 4.5 billion pounds of paper products annually, the potential environmental impact inside and outside the facility is tremendous.

Many of the chemicals commonly found in conventional cleaning products have ingredients that can cause respiratory and dermatological problems for those who use the products and for those who occupy the facilities where they are used.

Green cleaning programs are designed to move away from these products to ones that are less harmful to employees, building occupants and the environment.

Much attention has been focused on the cleaning products, but green cleaning involves more than just selecting green products. A successful green cleaning program requires that the right products be used in the proper quantity and that the recommended cleaning procedures for the job are followed. It requires that employees be properly trained, and it requires that building occupants understand what a green cleaning program is and what it means to them.
