Environmental matters for Commercial cleaning contractors

When you are engaging a commercial cleaning contractor for your office cleaning, medical cleaning or body corporate cleaning you should have an expectation that the service will have as little negative environmental impact as possible. If not, any environmental issues that may arise are likely to reflect on you, as well as the cleaning contractor.

So, when you are in the process of selection for your cleaning contractor it may be wise to ask about their environmental credentials. For example, does the contractor:

• Have an Environment Policy?
• Use biodegradable cleaning products that have minimal negative environmental impact?
• Use, where possible, microfibre cleaning materials that use much less water than traditional cleaning materials?
• Use modern equipment that is energy and water efficient?
• Actively seek recycling opportunities?
• Expose its staff to waste minimisation techniques?

In these days, where a lot of attention is rightly focused on the environment, you need to be sure that the commercial cleaning contractor you employ will not negatively influence your reputation by paying no attention to environmental matters.
