Is Your Facility Green?
Colonial Paper Company Knows Green Cleaning!

Green Cleaning is a strategy that rethinks how to create a healthy, high-performing building that also improves cleanliness, protects workers and the environment from the risks posed by cleaning materials and processes.  It encompasses a broad set of practices and is not about simply switching one product for another.  A successful program is focused on overall “quality cleaning” - standardized operations, effective tools and cleaning chemicals, uniform dispensing systems, comprehensive training, proper protective equipment, and clearly written policies and protocols for the various levels of cleaning.  It also includes ongoing performance evaluations and improvement.  With planning and oversight, Green cleaning provides a high-performance cleaning process that prioritizes reductions in waste, risks to workers and building occupants, and the negative impacts on our environment.   

Green cleaning begins by assessing the needs of the building occupants and looks at all products, including chemicals, paper, vacuums and other equipment, mats, waste and recycling containers, micro fiber, source-control and pollution-prevention strategies are important as well.  For a Green-cleaning program to achieve success, it’s imperative that all of these products and strategies be organized into an efficient system or process. 

Want to start small?  We can begin with basic Green cleaning options, such as switching to Green Seal certified cleaning products and Green cleaning procedures.  Our Green Cleaning Program can also take a broader approach to cleaning Green and include things like, recycling programs and touch-less water conservation equipment.  Whatever route you choose, there are simple steps you can take to decrease pollutants spread throughout your facility and to promote indoor air quality.  Being environmentally responsible is not expensive or difficult – please call today for free information on what you can do to protect the health of your staff & tenants.
