AN IN TR O DUC TI ON TO G RE EN CLEANING
Every year over 6 BILLION pounds of chemicals, most
made from non-renewable petroleum-based resources,
are consumed by the cleaning industry. Over 500 MILLION
pounds of janitorial equipment are discarded - enough to
fill 10,000 garbage trucks. We use 4.5 BILLION pounds of
janitorial paper, the majority made from virgin tree pulp.
Cleaning's impact on the environment is tremendous.
Adult onset asthma rates are increasing. Mold, indoor air
quality, and other cleaning issues have been scientifically
linked to the health and performance of both students
and staff.
The need for a Green Cleaning program is real and is a
challenge facing campus administrators and maintenance
professionals across the country. Green Cleaning can
be simply defined as cleaning to protect health without
harming the environment.
Prospective students and major contributors are aware of
these issues. In fact many colleges and universities have
found that environmental stewardship and green programs
can be powerful marketing and recruiting advantages.
ProTeam vacuums can help you address these issues.
Combining the power to pick up more soil than typical
vacuums with our unique Four Level® Filtration System,
our vacuums can significantly improve the indoor air
quality throughout your campus.
Your ProTeam distributor has the facts about the impact
of cleaning on student health and performance. They also
have the information and support you need to evaluate a
Cleaning For Health ® program on your campus.
