Here are some small steps you can take now:

• Replace traditional cleaning chemicals with Green Seal certified cleaning chemicals
• Use Carpet and Rug Institute labeled vacuums to improve indoor air quality
• Use products dispensed from large roll to minimize packaging and waste
• Concentrate on entryways, inside and out. Trap dirt and pollutants before they enter the building
• Implement an effective recycling program
• Report spills, leaks and other accidents
• Keep eating areas clean

Why is Green Cleaning So Important?
Using green cleaning procedures, including the proper use, storage and disposal of materials, actually reduces the likelihood and frequency of fires, explosions, spills and splashes. Green cleaning products are less hazardous and reduce the health risks to maintenance employees, as well as occupants.
