Healthy High Performance Green Cleaning
Cleaning Facility Services is here to help building owners and facilities managers adopt new and more efficient approaches to cleaning that protect the environment and the health of building occupants. Our high cleanliness levels, cost effective solutions and a sustainable cleaning program is designed for today’s sustainable thinking property managers and owners.
Despite the growing popularity of “being green,” few people realize that a significant public health issue exists in the way that we clean and maintain our schools, office buildings, colleges and universities. Cleaning chemicals, processes and equipment can cause poor indoor air quality and contribute to a wide range or respiratory and health problems. The demand for more environmentally-friendly cleaning solution with low toxicity and the ability to deliver high performance levels has grown over the last two decades.
Cleaning Facility Services has committed to being an industry leader in adopting the principles of sustainability cleaning and putting them into measurable action for our clients. The use of our green products and practices helps minimize the impact on the environment and contributes to a healthier indoor environment for tenants, employees, visitors and service providers. Cleaning Facility Services uses Ecologo certified green cleaning products and practices/equipment that minimize paper waste, conserve water, that captures a large percentage of particulates and produces low emissions.
INDOOR AIR QUALITY
Healthy indoor air quality (IAQ) is important to the satisfaction and productivity of all occupants of our facility, and a key component for all green building certification programs. Cleaning Facility Services takes a proactive approach to managing IAQ at the properties we services and follows the highest standards from Health Canada, Provincial Workers’ Compensation Boards and ASHRAE.

Our Clean Green initiatives—whether in commercial buildings, residential properties, schools and universities, or medical offices—can positively affect your performance, productivity, tenant recruitment and retention, and reputation. But while we all want to do something to help protect the environment and the health of our buildings, a lack of practical solutions and cost-effective implementation often impedes our progress.
