By now most people know how to “green up” their household cleaning supplies. They know, for example, that adding some baking soda, dish soap and vinegar to a spray bottle filled with water makes a pretty great all-purpose cleanser. They know that the easiest way to clean a bathtub is with a grapefruit and kosher salt.
When it comes to industrial cleaning, though, most people get a little bit lost. It’s easy to search for environmentally friendly cleaning companies but hard to figure out who actually knows what they are doing. After all, these companies probably aren’t employing people to stand around and create gallons of cleansers out of water, vinegar, baking soda and dish soap! Plus, these companies often use different terminologies for the same idea.
There are, luckily, a few common things that separate the good green industrial cleaners from those who are just hoping to make a quick buck off of the trend. They are also, if you are in the industrial and professional cleaning business, things that you can do to ensure your customers that your company truly is green.
