Green cleaning involves using green or environmentally preferable products and practices. Green or environmentally preferable products include products that are certified to contain lower or insignificant amounts of toxic or hazardous chemicals and have reduced or minimal adverse environmental impacts. When it comes to environmentally friendly supplies and tools, we use micro-fiber cleaning methods. Microfiber dusting clothes and flat mops outperform traditional materials and can often be used to remove soils without the need for chemical compounds. Microfiber captures and removes pollutants instead of just moving them around. This miracle of technology can be laundered and reused, minimizing waste.
