What is Green Cleaning?

Green cleaning can be defined as “effective cleaning that protects health without harming the environment.” Green and environmentally preferred purchasing has been defined as “…products and services that have a lesser or reduced effect on human health and the environment  when compared with competing products and services that serve the same purpose”.  Additional emphasis has been placed on issues of sustainability  product life cycles.

A holistic approach to green cleaning incorporates solutions that consider human health and environmental impacts in all aspects of cleaning, including:
