AN IN TR O DUC TI ON TO G REEN 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.
Clearly cleaning's impact on the environment is tremendous.
Asthma rates in school age children are skyrocketing. More
than 14 million school days are lost to illnesses including
allergies and other respiratory problems. Mold, indoor air
quality and other cleaning issues have been scientifically
linked to student health and falling test scores.
The need for a Green Cleaning program is real and is a
challenge facing school administrators and maintenance
professionals across the country. Green Cleaning can be
simply defined as cleaning to protect health without
harming the environment.
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 in
your school. The ergonomic design and ease of use will help
you clean more effectively and efficiently, making better use
of your scarce labor resources, and allowing you to allocate
more time to other projects.
Your ProTeam distributor has the facts about the impact
of cleaning on student health and performance as well as
information and support you need to evaluate a Cleaning
For Health ® program in your school.
