Cleaning for LEED Certified Buildings

March 22, 2012 | admin

leed certifiedA few years back, a lot of people would not care or put forth the effort to being green. Today, you can see more buildings being re-designed to become eco-friendly. More facilities managers are looking to incorporate greener cleaning methods; engineers and architects are working together to design buildings to earn LEED certification.

A LEED certified building is a finalized construction that is designed to reduce negative environmental impacts of buildings and improve the health and well-being of the individuals who occupy them. 
The benefits of LEED certification start with proof to your clients, competitors, and yourself that you have made a positive impact with the design of the building. Secondly, there are a numerous government (state and local) benefits that come with achieving this certification.

The certification program requires that all LEED certified buildings use eco-friendly cleaning products. One of the most important products for cleaning these buildings is eco friendly sanitizer.  Sanitizers have become suitable for cleaning a large variety of surfaces. Sanitizing a surface every day is important especially for flu season. Traditional sanitizers leave behind toxins that affect breathing in close spaces.

The goal for cleaning a LEED building is to reduce the chemicals and toxins that affect everyone’s health. In addition, these chemicals and toxins can be harmful to the beautiful building finishes and indoor air quality. Problems that may occur with dangerous chemicals in traditional cleaners include asthmatic symptoms, skin irritation, and damaged kidneys by specific metal polishes; so move the traditional cleaning products away and decrease the risk of illness.

Remember: a major step towards becoming LEED certified is purchasing green cleaning products for your building. Fulfill all of your green cleaning needs by checking out ourCatalog.
