Scrubbing Down To The "Nitty-Greeny"
Cleaning products that make sustainability a snap 

By Steve Yeskulsky

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has found that volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are found in many non-certified green cleaning products, can cause cancer in humans as well as a host of other health problems. In today’s “green” climate, however, there are safer, more efficient and environmentally preferable products to disinfect public spaces.

Why should I bother? By definition, green cleaning is applying environmentally preferable practices in a maintenance program. Part of this is using products that are certified green, meaning they are non-toxic, biodegradable and made from renewable resources.
There are two reasons to use green cleaning technology and practices:

• To drastically lower the health risks for users and people who come in contact with the cleaning products
• To reduce the agency’s impact on the environment.
