Clean Spot is here to provide our top tips on keeping your business clean for World environment day, with a few suggestions of green, yet highly effective janitorial supplies that can help!
Conduct an Environmental Assessment
Start by assessing your business’s current environmental impact. Identify areas where you can reduce waste, energy consumption, and resource usage. This assessment will help you prioritize your efforts and set achievable goals to determine what products you need to keep your facility clean.
Implement Recycling and Raise Awareness of Environmental Sustainability
Set up a comprehensive recycling program in your workplace. Make sure to provide clearly labelled recycling bins for different types of materials, such as:
- Paper
- Plastic
- Glass
- Metal
Additionally, encourage employees to reduce paper usage by promoting digital document sharing and implementing paperless processes wherever possible.
Raise awareness among your employees about the importance of environmental sustainability. Provide training sessions, workshops, or lunchtime talks to educate them about sustainable practices and their role in reducing the business’s environmental impact.
Choose Eco-Friendly Suppliers and Products
Select suppliers in Calgary, like Clean Spot, who prioritize sustainability and provide eco-friendly products and janitorial supplies. Many believe the myth that eco-friendly janitorial supplies and cleaning equipment are far more costly than normal cleaning systems, but in fact, in most cases, green cleaning services can be less expensive than ordinary ones if appropriately utilized.
Look for vacuums equipped with HEPA/ULPA filters to remove and trap particles. Also, look for high-efficiency equipment and products that are more green-friendly, such as:
- Pressure washers
- Carpet extractors
- Microfiber cleaning systems
- Green Works bowl cleaner
- Green-certified hand soaps
