In the past few years the green cleaning initiative has become a national movement and as more technology firms move into the Triangle, Raleigh, Durham, and Greensboro clients are looking for green office cleaning more than ever. So you probably already know the environmental benefits of green cleaning products. They reduce the amount of ozone depletion and the smog levels, they diminish the amount of plastic waste with recyclable packaging, and they decrease water pollution into the local environment.

The key component of green cleaning products is less harmful chemicals. The reduction or loss of these chemicals can have multiple benefits for your employees. These products can improve indoor air quality, the main culprit behind Sick Building Syndrome, by reducing airborne dust and chemical gases. Increased air quality can reduce asthma attacks and irritation of the eyes, ears, and throat. The reduction of chemicals means less allergens for your employees to get sick from, so remember to seek a green clean when looking for Raleigh office cleaning.  Chemicals from regular cleaners can remain on surfaces causing skin irritation as well. Green products allow for a reduction in exposure to toxins as well as known and possible carcinogens. Furthermore, they decrease heavy metals suspected of causing harmful health problems for the general public.
