It's almost frightening how quickly the demand for Green Cleaning and by that I mean both green cleaning products and green cleaning techniques has ramped up.
Ever hear of: EcoCert, Eco-Label, EcoLogo, Green Seal, GreenGuard, CleanGredients, Nordic Swan or even the Environmental Protection Agency's Design for the Environment program? These are just some of the various North American and European agencies and organizations that promote and police the Green Cleaning movement.
These organizations rank cleaning products based on things like: toxicity, sensitization, biodegradabality and other variables that can be easily measured.
Unfortunately, as the makers of these cleaning chemicals know, what their customers want above all is that their products be made from natural or naturally derived ingredients. And nobody has a definition of natural that everybody agrees on.
And choosing the cleaning supplies you should use if you want to go green is only one of the problems you'll have to deal with.
Defining what cleaning practices and procedures are green and then applying them properly to each building you clean is a whole other kettle of fish.
And, if you manage of get straight with all that, there's the matter of training your people....
| I copied this graphic to show you just one of the almost endless number of ads cleaning chemical manufacturers are showing these days to convince people that theirs are the most politically, I mean environmentally correct products around. |
As you can see, there is a real hurtle to climb over for anyone in the cleaning business who wants to go green..
That's why I'm so glad to be able to tell you about about Green Cleaning the eBook! It's authoritative and full of clear, practical, step-by-step advice on how to go green.
Right now being green is an advantage for your cleaning business but one day, probably a lot sooner than you think, it will be a necessity!
After reading through mountains of professional literature on the subject I'm convinced that the sooner you make the switch to green cleaning the better off you'll be.
Yours,

The Green Cleaning Revolution isn't coming. It's Here.

Concern for the environment is growing every day. And in the cleaning industry, green cleaning and providing environmentally friendly cleaning services is rapidly becoming the standard not the exception. |

Do you want to offer green cleaning services to your customers, but don't know where to begin? Green cleaning is more than using a few chemicals that are labeled "green". Rather, it is an entire process that looks at how a building is cleaned, what equipment and supplies are used, how those products affect the environment and how to provide the proper training to employees. |

EDITOR'S NOTE: On Jan. 8th of this year, the Federal Trade Commission held the first of a planned series of hearings in preparation for an update of its environmental marketing guidelines, known as the Green Guides. |

Chemical manufacturers see making green cleaning products as a way to meet the demand of a growing market and to enhance their companies' environmental image."
