As environmental awareness continues to grow, reducing your environmental footprint isn’t just a responsibility – it’s also a competitive advantage. One area often overlooked in sustainability efforts is cleaning practices. By adopting greener commercial cleaning strategies, businesses can help protect the planet, enhance employee well-being, and even cut costs.
Here are three simple yet impactful steps to get started:
- Choose Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products
Traditional cleaning chemicals often contain harmful ingredients that can pollute water, lower indoor air quality, and negatively impact staff health. Switching to eco-certified products made with biodegradable, non-toxic ingredients offer a sustainable alternative without compromising on performance. At Edwards Commercial Cleaning, we’re proud to use BioVate Hygienics – a UK-based leader in eco-friendly biological cleaning products. These products combine probiotics, enzymes, bio-surfactants, and plant-based colours and fragrances, delivering exceptional cleaning power while minimising harm to the environment. - Recycle Waste Where Possible
If your business doesn’t already have a recycling program, now is the time to implement one. During the cleaning process, prioritise sorting waste into recyclable and non-recyclable categories. Composting biodegradable materials, like food waste or paper towels, is another effective way to reduce your impact on the environment. - Adopt Scheduled Cleaning Plans
A scheduled cleaning plan takes a proactive approach to maintaining cleanliness while optimising resource use and reducing waste. This strategy ensures high-touch areas receive the necessary attention while avoiding unnecessary or excessive cleaning of lower-use spaces. The benefits include greater efficiency, reduced use of cleaning products, and minimised environmental impact.
While these steps are a great way to start your sustainability journey, partnering with a like-minded cleaning provider can significantly amplify your efforts. At Edwards Commercial Cleaning, we go beyond keeping your premises clean; we actively help reduce your carbon footprint through:
