A greater demand for social responsibility, eco-friendly products as well as a commitment to sustainability has seen many professions change for the better. Recently the commercial cleaning profession has been going green with an emphasis on sustainability.
The Worldwide Cleaning Industry Association, says “Green cleaning is arguably the number one trend in the cleaning industry and is showing no signs of slowing down”. Green cleaning is described as “a marketplace phenomenon that is being driven by customer demand and the overall trending of the broad marketplace for environmentally preferable products and services.”
Companies are going green for a variety of reasons. One of these reasons is the changing views towards cleaning products and how they affect the environment. Simply making the switch from chemical products to environmentally friendly products can have a considerable impact on the environment. Another reason for change is the economic and environmental cost of these products. A variety of renewable options has made it accessible and affordable for cleaning companies to implement new green procedures.
New technologies also play a big part in the progression cleaning companies are making. Technologies allow commercial cleaning companies to avoid pollutants and water waste. Many of these new technological innovations are affordable and can be gradually implemented. Recycling also plays a big part, with many companies using biodegradable products and offering recycling options.
The three pillars of sustainability are “People, Planet and Profit” and Lazaro Property Maintenance Services have implemented environmental initiatives for ourselves and our clients with a focus on these pillars. We have ensured the company’s sustainability across all facets of the business by using green cleaning practices and products. Our green practices include environmentally friendly products, reusable microfiber cloths, using high efficiency 4 stage HEPA filters in all vacuums as well as our recycling and awareness programs.
When cleaning businesses make conscious, eco-friendly changes they show their commitment to social responsibility and to the environment. This way everyone wins: owners, employees, customers and the environment.
