Green cleaning in the workplace: our 5 best practices

At a time when sustainability is becoming a norm in all sectors, green cleaning practices are gaining momentum in the professional cleaning industry. Incorporating environmentally-friendly cleaning solutions not only helps to protect our planet, but also offers businesses an opportunity to meet growing consumer expectations for ethical and sustainable practices. Here's how businesses can adopt and promote green cleaning practices by using products such as Aquabio, Apabio, Clean D+ and 3D Bio.

1. Use of ecological cleaning products

The choice of eco-friendly products such as Aquabio, a biodegradable disinfectant, or Clean D+, a powerful degreaser with a low environmental impact, shows a commitment to sustainable practices. These products use natural ingredients such as bicarbonate of soda, white vinegar and Marseille soap, renowned for their effectiveness without harming the environment.

Using cleaners without harmful chemicals such as chlorine or bleach, which are often present in conventional detergents, reduces water pollution and improves indoor air quality, preventing respiratory irritation or allergies among users.

2. Promotion of multi-purpose products

Multi-purpose cleaning products, such as black soap and vinegar, are not only economical but also environmentally friendly. They reduce the amount of packaging needed and cut the amount of waste produced. What's more, these products can be used to clean almost any surface, from floors to windows and textiles, making them both practical and environmentally friendly.

3. Innovative and economical cleaning techniques

Adopting cleaning techniques that reduce water consumption, such as dry or steam cleaning, is another way of incorporating environmentally-friendly practices. These methods make it possible to make significant savings in natural resources while ensuring thorough cleaning. For example, using steam machines to disinfect surfaces can eliminate bacteria and viruses without the use of harmful chemicals.

4. Training and awareness-raising

Educating staff on the correct use of eco-friendly products and implementing sustainable cleaning practices is crucial. Regular training sessions can help raise employee awareness of the benefits of natural products and how to use them effectively to achieve the best results while protecting the environment.

5. Meeting standards

Using products tested to French and European standards is a guarantee of quality, eco-responsibility and safety. There are many standards for cleaning and disinfecting products, such as biocidal standards EN 1276 (bactericide) and EN 1650 (fungicide), standards AFNOR NF T 72170 (bactericide) and 72300 (fungicide) or EN 14476 and 13610 (virucide at 4%).
