Finding the right janitorial company who will partner with you and share your commitment towards a healthier and happier work environment is vital on your path to “Going Green”. IH Services has the knowledge and the tools to help you begin safer cleaning practices, or to enhance your current Green endeavors.
- Create a healthier working environment by being environmentally friendly
Indoor air is often 2 to 5 times more contaminated than outdoor air. Mold and bacteria can adversely effect indoor air quality, which has a direct impact on health problems connected to allergies, contaminants and chemical sensitivities. Green Cleaning will improve the quality of your indoor air.
- Protect property values and increase your buildings’ safety
Because Green Cleaning practices include proper use, storage and disposal of cleaning chemicals, the likelihood of accidental spills and splashes is reduced. Additionally, Green Cleaning chemicals emit fewer fumes and are more gentle on your facility as a whole. Staff is trained to correctly dilute products and learns which product is most effective for each job. If the correct and most effective mild product is used on stained carpets or upholstery, the life of these items is prolonged because they have not been exposed to unnecessary, harsher chemicals.
- Increase your marketability and your productivity
A healthy and happy employee has job satisfaction, misses fewer days, has improved morale and increased efficiency. You will be able to proudly market your business as a business who is concerned for its employees and is doing something about it.
- Reduce the impact of natural resource consumption
The implementation of a Green Program can help to decrease air pollution, ozone depletion, water pollution and global climate changes. Green Cleaning also reduces the usage of raw materials, promotes recycling and minimizes toxic products which would require disposal.
- Green Cleaning at the bottom line
The establishment of a Green Program will lead to reduced costs overall. A successful program means lower costs attributed to sick leave, healthcare, litigation and the loss of productivity. There is a strong focus on preventative maintenance, which will reduce future expenses. Also, those who practice Green Cleaning use energy-efficient equipment (i.e., vacuum cleaners).
