Equity Cleaning Services understands the benefits of green cleaning for your business. In this blog post, we discuss the benefits of green cleaning for your business and why it is a better choice for your facility.

What is Green Cleaning?

Green cleaning refers to the use of eco-friendly cleaning products and methods that are designed to protect the environment and promote sustainable living. These products are free from harmful chemicals and toxins, making them safe for people and the planet.

Benefits of Green Cleaning for Your Business:

Healthier Work Environment

Green cleaning products are free from harsh chemicals and toxic substances, which makes them safe for people to use. The use of eco-friendly products ensures a healthier work environment for your employees, reducing their exposure to harmful toxins and chemicals.

Better Indoor Air Quality

Traditional cleaning products contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can negatively impact indoor air quality. These compounds can cause respiratory problems, headaches, and eye irritation. Green cleaning products are free from VOCs, making them a better choice for maintaining good indoor air quality.

Reduced Environmental Impact

Green cleaning products are made from natural and sustainable ingredients, which minimises their impact on the environment. These products are biodegradable, which means they break down into harmless substances when they are disposed of, reducing their impact on landfills and waterways.

Improved Brand Image

The use of green cleaning products demonstrates your commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. This can improve your brand image and attract environmentally-conscious customers who value businesses that take steps to protect the environment.

Cost-Effective

Green cleaning products can be cost-effective in the long run. While they may be slightly more expensive than traditional cleaning products, they can reduce the number of cleaning products you need to purchase over time. Additionally, they can help extend the life of your floors and carpets, reducing the need for costly repairs or replacements.

Conclusion

Green cleaning is a smart choice for any business that wants to reduce its impact on the environment and promote sustainability. At Equity Cleaning Services, we are committed to providing eco-friendly commercial cleaning services that are safe for people and the planet.

Since its foundation, Equity Cleaning Services has consistently focused on delivering exceptional cleaning services to businesses throughout the South of England, striving to do so in the most environmentally friendly manner possible. That is why we are very proud to have been accredited with the ISO 14001:2015 accreditation. The ISO 14001 certification provides a structured framework for identifying environmental aspects and controlling impacts. At Equity Cleaning Services, every site undergoes regular assessment, with defined responsibilities and realistic deadlines for improvement. These measures have already led to lower energy, water and waste use, reducing operating costs and cutting compliance risk. This has allowed us to invest further in staff training, high-efficiency equipment and eco-friendly products. Many clients in both the public sector and the corporate world frequently require proof of ISO 14001 accreditation when inviting tenders. Holding this certification strengthens Equity Cleaning Services’ position when competing for contracts in commercial cleaning across Dorset, Hampshire and beyond. Yet accreditation is only the start. The company conducts internal audits and management reviews throughout the year, inviting every team member to identify potential issues and suggest improvements. Alongside environmental performance, Equity Cleaning Services emphasises service quality. Inspection routines include unscheduled checks and satisfaction surveys, ensuring that every client enjoys a consistently high standard of cleanliness. The company also offers a satisfaction guarantee: if a client is not satisfied, a senior supervisor will revisit the site as soon as possible to rectify the issue. With ISO 14001:2015 accreditation, Equity Cleaning Services demonstrates that sustainability and environmentally friendly practices do not have to impact the quality of commercial cleaning. By blending robust controls with innovation, we continue to cut costs, mitigate compliance risk and deliver the standards our clients expect.
