Clean Care Scotland — a green cleaning company− are concerned about our natural world around us. We have actually decided to throw down the gauntlet and challenge others including customers and competitors to switch to “green cleaning” with us.
We have spent a lot of time over the last few years working out what it means in the real world. This has led us to develop “a green cleaning policy” setting out what we are working towards.
- What do we have to do to maintain our green cleaning badge?
- What do we have to improve upon in the medium term what can we do immediately to help our planet’s environment.
Just to give you some samples of our thinking.
- We will, wherever possible, make use of green office cleaning products that do no injury to the natural world.
- In picking green cleaning solutions we constantly attempt to balance capability to cleanse with the quantity of packaging and environmental price of transport.
- All supervisors and mobile supervisors have their contracts work arranged into local areas. This will certainly reduce the intake of fuel. When purchasing or leasing company vehicles we will examine the financial cost alongside environmental cost of vehicles with lower CO2 exhausts and so on.
- All our workplace cleaning equipment will be selected for lengthy life to lessen the influence on landfill. Where there is the ability we will be looking to reduce, or recycle rather than replace.
- We will actively motivate our office cleaning customers to obtain involved in any sort of recycling procedures offered locally.
ISO 14001 And Green Cleaning in Practice
Not just do we have a functioning green environmental policy we have been identified as been thorough enough to obtain and maintain ISO 14001. Our office cleaning managers meet every three months to challenge ourselves and to enhance our green credentials.

Moving To Green Cleaning
Some of the points we might suggest you consider would be:-
- Moving to daylight cleaning hours wherever possible to reduce your electricity bill and CO2 emissions. Some of our customers compromise by cleaning some areas during retail opening hours and leaving public areas till after closing time.
- Battery vacuum cleaners reduce noise levels and eliminate some tripping hazards.
- Introducing more recycling of waste paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, drink cans etc. we can assist with this if you wish.
- More use of microfibre cloths to minimise the usage of cleaning solutions. Where necessary we will use green cleaning products.
Note not all our customers are ready yet to switch to full green cleaning systems so we are able to offer you both the standard office and the green cleaning methodology . Whether you choose to go with green cleaning or the standard we will be able to offer you a unique cleaning guarantee of the highest cleaning standards you have ever had.
