With a spotlight on the effects of environmental pollution and climate change, it’s no wonder that more and more commercial companies are looking at how they do things.
Over the past few years, there’s been an increase in commercial premises that are making the switch to eco-friendly cleaning products.
And our team at Eco-Green Cleaning & Maintenace think this is brilliant! The more workplaces that adopt eco-friendly cleaning products, the better. It’s one sure-fire way any commercial business can reduce its carbon footprint.
As Melbourne commercial cleaners who use eco-friendly cleaning products, we’d love to show you why environmentally-friendly cleaning products are the best!
Top 4 benefits of using eco-friendly cleaning products in your business
1. Better for your employee’s health
Heavily laden chemical cleaning products are not great for your employee’s health.
These products can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions and trigger asthma.
Chemical cleaning products like bleach are also potent smelling and can cause headaches.
When you make the switch to environmentally friendly cleaning products, you’re making a positive impact on the health of your employees. They will no longer be exposed to harsh chemicals or odours, and you’ll find they experience less reactive symptoms and fewer sick days.
No one wants to come to work and feel sick from your cleaning!
A quick tip: Strong-smelling cleaning products DON’T mean they are better! They are simply covering odours and not eliminating them. A truly clean work environment should have no smell at all.
2. Better for the environment
Cleaning products will inevitably go down the sink. That’s why you must use eco-friendly cleaning products to reduce your carbon footprint. The less harsh chemicals released into our waterways (and the environment), the better.
Using environmentally friendly cleaning products (like those we use at Eco-Green Cleaning & Maintenace) shows that your company is committed to saving our environment. You’re doing your part to help keep our waterways clean and limit chemicals’ harmful effects on aquatic animals.
3. Better for reducing landfill
Most chemical cleaning products aren’t made using bottles that can be 100% recycled. And to top it off, some product is always remaining in the bottle, so when it does end up in a landfill (rather than being recycled), they may eventually break down but release chemicals into the earth.
Many eco-friendly cleaning products are packaged in environmentally friendly materials, making them more easily recyclable. Many can also be refilled and used multiple times.
4. Better for your cleaners
Harsh cleaning chemicals aren’t healthy for anyone. Whether your employees are responsible for cleaning your commercial premises (kitchen spaces, desks etc.) or you use professional cleaners (like our team at Eco-Green Cleaning & Maintenace), providing eco-friendly cleaning products is the way to go.
Your cleaners’ health isn’t compromised as they’re not inhaling harsh chemicals and are less likely to suffer from allergic reactions and skin irritations.
Do eco-friendly cleaning products work as well?
Yes! Eco-friendly cleaning products are far superior to their harsh chemical counterparts.
Eco-friendly cleaning products use non-toxic and biodegradable ingredients that are less corrosive on surfaces. They clean just as well but aren’t harsh and won’t damage the surface you’re cleaning.
They are also odour-free (unless natural oil scents are used), so don’t mask foul odours in your workplace with harsh chemical smells.
You’ll also find eco-friendly cleaning products won’t accidentally stain or strip varnished surfaces.
AND, the best part!
Using eco-green cleaning products won’t break the bank. These products generally last longer and keep surfaces cleaner than chemical-based cleaning products.
