Green Cleaning Overview

The cleaning industry is enormous, consuming billions of pounds of cleaning chemicals, and janitorial paper annually.

This has a tremendous impact on our air, water, soil, and other resources. Hundreds of millions of pounds of equipment are dumped into landfills every year. That's why, through our Green Cleaning program, Clean Sweep is committed to help preserve

our natural resources for future generations.

Our Green program incorporates certified products and equipment into the cleaning process, but is distinguished by the training and service support you would expect from a leader in green cleaning. We are committed to providing our customers with the highest quality, environmentally responsible service solutions.

Examples of Clean Sweeps Green processes are:

The greenest, high performance chemicals available are used
Office trash is emptied into thick, reusable trash bags
Vacuums have HEPA filtration systems
Auto-scrubbers use foam technology, lessening the use of chemicals
Carpets receive a final clean water rinse after cleaning
Re-usable micro-fiber cloths are used for dusting rather than throw away cloths
Acids have little place in the Clean Sweep program
Aerosols are not used except where no other satisfactory substitute is available
The use of entrance mats to stop the dirt at the door is encouraged
Vacuums replace dust mops where feasible
Chemicals are dispensed from a metering system so no chemical is wasted and dilution is correct

The Clean Sweep program will assure that our trained staff will:

Introduce no contaminants into the atmosphere of the customer facility through use of chemicals
Remove contaminants (dust, soil, micro-organisms, and other pollutants) from the working environment
Stop dirt at the doorways using effective matting systems
Use only environmentally friendly products
Kill infectious organisms using chemicals that do not cause risk to our associates or the building occupants
