Is your janitorial service green? How to be sure.

You know that the cleaning practices used in your building have an impact on your health and building environment. But is your janitorial service green? How can you know if your cleaning company is using progressive cleaning practices? Are there any standards?

The answer is yes! The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has made a rating system as part of their Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program (LEED). The rating system is used for new and existing buildings. LEED-EB (Existing Building) is the rating system for existing buildings.

A building must be awarded points in a variety of categories, including green cleaning, to be LEED certified. Hiring a janitorial services provider that follows USGBC cleaning standards will validate you are using a genuine green cleaning program. It is easy to get green points with a green cleaning provider like Cleansolution. You can save money, too!
