Green Cleaning

SMG works with its interested customers to promote and educate them about green cleaning.

On average, Americans spend about 90 percent of their days indoors. EPA studies indicate that human exposure to air pollutants indoors can be 2-5 times, and occasionally up to 100 times, higher than outdoor levels.

Poor quality indoor air can produce health effects ranging from headaches and dry eyes to nausea, dizziness, and fatigue. We all want to work in an office environment that is comfortable, clean and safe. An important part of ensuring good indoor air quality in facilities is choosing cleaning products that have a reduced impact on human health and the environment. We call these products green cleaners.

Today, more than ever, facility managers are working with building maintenance companies to develop contracts that encourage the use of cleaning agents with a reduced impact on the environment.

Many facility and building managers have made the switch from the use of conventional cleaning products to green cleaning products and services.
