Best Practices for Your Green Cleaning Program

• Specify cleaning products and supplies that are certified by Green Seal or ECOLOGO. Also specify training, reporting, packaging reduction and any other agency environmental priorities.
• Consider adopting applicable procedures and practices in Green Seal’s commercial cleaning standard (GS-42).
• Isolate janitorial supplies to dedicated closets to reduce occupants’ exposure.
• Require on-site training for staff in proper use of products from manufacturers or distributors.
• Consider reducing the total number of stocked cleaning products by using concentrated multi- purpose cleaners which can be diluted to various strengths using a dilution control system.
