It’s no secret that some cleaning solutions are harmful to the environment. It’s also hard to tell whether a commercial cleaning company is actually ‘green,’ or if they’ve simply hijacked the label to try and increase their clientele. The professionals at Compass Cleaning Solutions in Tempe, AZ are well-aware of the differences between a green cleaning company and a non-green one, which is why they'd like to offer these tips for choosing an environmentally-friendly janitorial service for your property.

• Ensuring your property receives the most environmentally-sound office cleaning services starts with one simple question: “What kind of cleaning products will you be using in the building?” Every professional cleaning service should be able to provide a detailed answer to this question. Asking for a Material Safety Data (MSD) sheet will provide toxicity and flammability ratings for each product they use; ‘green’ cleaning solutions will usually rank very low in both categories.
• Another rating system used in commercial cleaning is the “Designed for the Environment” rating (DFE). Some cleaning products may be ‘green’ in their final state, but the process used in creating them could have been harmful to the environment. The DFE rating ensures that no stone is left unturned.
• Compass Cleaning Solutions wants you to know that it’s not only the products you use that can be harmful to the earth, but certain cleaning methods can also be bad for the environment. Remaining mindful of how much cleaning solution you use, and how to properly dispose of it, will also reduce stress on the environment; making a point to conserve water while mopping or washing will help as well.
