Why use eco friendly cleaning products in your office?

We get asked this question a lot – why use eco friendly cleaning products in your office? And the answer is simple, by using eco friendly cleaning products in your office, you’ll improve air quality, minimise pollution and your impact on the environment.

Improve your office by being more eco-friendly

If your office is working to become more sustainable, choosing our green office cleaning service is a great place to start as we use eco friendly office cleaning products. 

To understand the importance of using eco friendly cleaning products, let’s look at the flip side.

What happens when you don’t use eco friendly cleaning products in your office?

Harsh chemicals used in many cleaning products are harmful for humans and other animals and plants – and the ‘volatile chemical compounds’ contained within them are now a key contributor to air pollution. As reported on BBC News, “US research has found that chemicals in everyday household products are now a key contributor to city air pollution, rivalling some vehicle emissions.” This not only affects your employees’ air quality and health – but it also affects your wider community, and ultimately our planet. 

Furthermore, the harsh office cleaning products used in sinks, toilets, dishwashers and appliances are rinsed down drains. Whilst the majority of contaminants are removed before the water goes back to rivers and lakes, some remain and over time have a substantial impact on our wildlife.
