It is important to note that “Green Cleaning” is merely one component of a comprehensive GREEN Program m. Independent organizations exist to offer guidance and in some cases certification to businesses that wish to adopt a Green approach. The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is a leading organization in this field and is available online at www.usgbc.org

  • Written Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) outlining the program.
  • Use of equipment that meets certain GREEN guidelines.
  • Use of chemicals and products that meet certain GREEN guidelines.

  • Training for workers in the requirements of “GREEN” practices, including safe chemical handling.
  • Promotion of good hand hygiene, including the use of waterless sanitizers.
  • Occupant feedback and ongoing review for continuous improvement.
