Today’s cleaning professionals are expected to not only maintain the cleanliness of their facilities, but
to do it in a way that will protect the health of their workers, building occupants, and the environment.
To meet this demand, regulatory agencies and product manufacturers have developed new ‘GREEN’ cleaning products and methods. |
| |
| Reduces Illness |
| |
Reduced exposure to harmful chemicals and improved indoor air quality lowers illness in schools and workplaces. |
| Improved Cleaning Efficiency |
| |
Current green products clean as well - if not better - than traditional industrial products. Many require less chemicals and are easier to use. When used properly, they can help to reduce worker compensation claims and can increase employee morale. |
| Environmentally Friendly |
| |
Green products and methods are reducing the negative impacts of cleaning on the land, water, and air. |
|
| |
| Many certification programs are emerging that tout the benefits of green cleaning. The ones Hesco recognizes are: |
| Green Seal |
|
The leading chemical standards board recognized by government agencies. They set stringent guidelines for products that have a lessened impact on the environment without sacrificing their cleaning performance.

| Green Label |
|
Created by the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI), Green Label sets the standard for vacuum cleaners by establishing a stringent testing process that measures their performance in soil removal, dust containment, and carpet appearance.

| Environmental Choice |
|
Environmental Choice is the leading and largest benchmark of environmentally-friendly products and services in North America. Each certified product is made or offered in a way that improves energy or water efficiency; reduces hazardous byproducts or waste; uses recycled materials or is reusable; or provides some other environmental benefit - all without sacrificing performance.
