Anyone working within the cleaning contract industry will understand the importance of investing in high-quality cleaning supplies. Unfortunately, many industry-standard cleaning products are often made from toxic chemicals and non-renewable sources that can be detrimental to the well-being of users, and the planet. As a result, a rapid shift towards more sustainable cleaning alternatives has emerged. Eco-friendly cleaning aims to provide a high-quality clean that is much safer for users and the environment. In this blog, we explore the key benefits of swapping traditional cleaning products for more eco-friendly alternatives.

The first and probably most obvious advantage of using sustainable cleaning products is that they are much safer for the environment. Plenty of common cleaning chemicals are known to cause detrimental damage to the environment, being both toxic to aquatic life with links to an increase in smog. In contrast to traditional products, eco-friendly cleaning products are often composed of biodegradable and non-toxic ingredients that easily decompose in the environment without causing any harmful impact. Our new Multi-purpose cleaner has been manufactured with the environment in mind. Giving a high-concentrated clean that doesn’t impact the environment. Packaged in recyclable bottles, and made from biodegradable chemicals.
Due to the toxic chemicals within, many conventional cleaning products are often packaged in single-use plastics and can’t be recycled. Shockingly, only 5% of the plastic produced worldwide is actually recycled, with most going to landfill. When these plastics get thrown away, the residue chemicals inside get released into the atmosphere and ground, polluting the air and nearby waterways. As eco-cleaning products are made with biodegradable and non-toxic chemicals, they can be responsibly disposed of or recycled for use again. Some environmentally friendly cleaning products may be packaged in reusable packaging, or with refillable products.
Without toxic chemicals involved, eco-friendly commercial cleaning is no longer a dangerous task. People in regular contact with chemicals can experience ‘build up’ which means they can experience skin problems and other health issues after years of exposure. Using the right dilution rates, sustainable cleaning products are just as effective as chemical cleaners but won't produce harmful fumes or be corrosive on the skin. This means there’s no need for commercial cleaning companies to spend money on protective uniforms and can ensure their employees remain healthy and don’t develop any respiratory or skin conditions. When cleaning commercial areas, the users of the space are also important to consider, not just the cleaners themselves.
