4 Reasons Why Using Green Cleaning Products Matters

Protect your
facility and the people inside it. By choosing green
commercial cleaning
from Stratus Building Solutions, you make a positive impact. This impact
encompasses the health of your clients, guests, and employees while also
contributing to the environment. When we say “Green” this includes the
materials, equipment, and processes we employ to clean your commercial
building. For example, All Stratus green cleaning chemicals are green seal
certified, making them healthier for your employees and customers. 

What
Does Green Seal Certified
Mean?

To meet this standard that means they
are:

• Non-Toxic
• Biodegradable
• Low-VOC
• No Known Carcinogens
• Fragrance-Free

These products are also certified effective when
compared to other competing cleaners. They still get the job done, and done
well, without the need for harmful chemicals. Furthermore, we minimize waste
through our dilution control system that ensures the proper amount is used.
The following are additional reasons that green cleaning methods
matter.

1. Green
   Cleaning Improves the Indoor Air
   Quality

Breathe easy inside of your commercial building. Whether
working in a school, warehouse, office, or medical building, everyone
deserves a clean environment where they can focus without discomfort. The
truth is that Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are present in most
commercial cleaning products. VOCs cause headaches, respiratory irritation,
and other uncomfortable symptoms to the occupants of your building. By using
green cleaning products that do not contain these harmful compounds, the
quality of the air is improved so the aforementioned irritations are
avoided. 

2. Green
   Cleaning Helps Protect the Environment

Your business or commercial building is an environment
in and of itself, but we are not just talking about your immediate
surroundings. Instead, we mean the environment of the world that we live in
as a whole. Green cleaning practices avoid chemicals that permeate and
potentially harm the atmosphere. In addition to minimizing the presence of
harsh chemicals, we also reduce the overall use of
water.

3. Green
   Cleaning Increases Recycling &
   Compliance 

Paper and plastic make our lives easier, but too much
of a good thing can be bad. For this reason, Stratus promotes recycling by
making us of:

• 100% Post-Consumer Recycled Janitorial Utility Cans
  & Mop Buckets
• Post-Consumer Recycled Paper Products For Kitchens
  & Restrooms
• Paperless Proposals & Invoice
  Systems
• Recycling systems and waste
  removal

Stratus franchisees also identify sources of
contamination and pollution so that next steps can be taken to make
improvements. 

4. Green
   Cleaning Reduces Cross-Contamination 

The materials that we use promote a better clean. With
microfiber cleaning cloths and mops we are able to trap more dirt, so it is
completely removed from your facility, as opposed to just being pushed around
to different parts of the floor or other surfaces. Additionally, we employ a
color-coded system to prevent
cross-contamination.
