In today’s world, cleaning isn’t just about appearances—it’s about responsibility. Businesses, schools, and facilities are recognizing that how we clean matters as much as how often
At Eagle Janitorial, we’ve embraced green and sustainable cleaning as a core part of how we operate—not because it’s trendy, but because it’s the right thing to do for our clients, employees, and the planet.
Here’s why sustainable cleaning has moved from optional to essential in 2025.
Healthier Spaces Start with Healthier Products
Traditional cleaning chemicals can leave behind harsh residues and strong fumes that irritate the skin, lungs, and eyes. Over time, those exposures can affect both cleaning crews and building occupants. Green cleaning products are designed to be:
- Non-toxic and low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
- Biodegradable and safe for disposal
- Free of harsh acids, ammonia, or chlorine
At Eagle Janitorial, we carefully select EPA Safer Choice and Green Seal–certified products that clean effectively without compromising indoor air quality or human health. The result? Cleaner buildings that feel fresher, not chemically sanitized.
Sustainability Is Now a Business Expectation
Many organizations—especially large corporations and property managers—now require vendors to demonstrate sustainable practices. From LEED-certified buildings to corporate ESG goals, businesses want cleaning partners that align with their environmental values.
By adopting sustainable methods, you’re not just helping the environment—you’re helping your clients meet their compliance standards and sustainability commitments. Sustainability is no longer a “nice-to-have.” It’s a competitive advantage for cleaning companies and a requirement for clients with green building certifications
Smart Green Cleaning Reduces Waste and Saves Money
Eco-friendly cleaning isn’t more expensive—it’s smarter. With sustainable practices, companies can reduce waste, extend equipment life, and cut long-term costs. Some examples:
- Microfiber systems reduce chemical and water use by up to 90%
- Dilution control systems prevent product overuse
- Reusable bottles and refillable containers reduce plastic waste
- Energy-efficient equipment like low-moisture carpet extractors and battery-powered scrubbers cut down on water and power consumption
Supporting Employee Safety and Well-Being
Cleaning crews are on the front lines every day, handling products and equipment that impact their safety.
By transitioning to safer, greener materials, we help protect our team members from exposure to harsh chemicals—improving health outcomes and job satisfaction. Sustainable cleaning also extends to:
- Proper ventilation in cleaning areas
- Protective gear and ergonomic tools
- Ongoing staff training on responsible product use and disposal
When employees feel protected and valued, they deliver better results—creating a positive cycle of care and performance.
Simple Ways Businesses Can Go Greener
If you’re not ready for a full green overhaul, start small. Here are a few easy ways to make your facility more sustainable right now:
- Switch to recycled or compostable paper products
- Install touchless, low-flow fixtures in restrooms
- Request eco-labeled cleaning supplies from your provider
- Schedule day cleaning to reduce energy use after hours
- Ask your janitorial partner to share their green cleaning policy
Even incremental steps can make a big difference over time—for your people, your budget, and the environment.
