Smarter Cleaning for a Sustainable Future

How can you reduce your chemical consumption, meet sustainability requirements, and even win more contracts – all at the same time?

 

For many contractors, delivering high-quality and efficient cleaning services is a given. But how can you also reduce your chemical use, comply with sustainability standards, and gain a competitive edge?

In this post, we answer some common questions about how you can work more sustainably – without compromising on results.

How Can You Reduce Chemical Use Without Compromising Results?

Choosing the right product for the job is crucial. While experience helps in making better decisions, there are also practical tools, like cleaning guides, that can assist in selecting the optimal product. The right choice often means less chemical use while achieving the same, or even better, results.

Effective ways to reduce chemical use: 

• Use products designed for specific tasks – A gel-based graffiti remover extends contact time and reduces the need for multiple applications. 
• Mechanical support – Brushes or cleaning wipes enhance effectiveness, further reducing chemical consumption. 
• Proper dilution – Many cleaning solutions can be diluted for different levels of contamination, ensuring the right amount is used for the job. 
• Graffiti protection – Applying protective coatings can make graffiti removal easier, often requiring little to no chemicals.

Less chemical use means:
✔ Lower costs
✔ Reduced environmental impact
✔ Safer handling of hazardous substances
