Why Switch to Sustainable Cleaning Chemicals?

Your business has used traditional cleaning chemicals for years, and they seem to work well, so why make a change?

There are many reasons why shifting to sustainable alternatives could be a good option for your business, from safeguarding the health of your staff to improving efficiency.

Advances in Green Cleaning Technology

Many people think eco-friendly cleaning products aren’t as effective as traditional alternatives. However, this assumption is outdated. Safer chemicals aren’t any less effective at removing bacteria.

Eco-friendly cleaning products compete effectively with traditional cleaners by leveraging advanced technologies and natural ingredients that match or surpass the efficacy of conventional chemicals.

Innovations like enzyme-based cleaners and electrolysed water provide powerful cleaning and disinfecting capabilities, often outperforming harsh synthetic substances. Additionally, these green products undergo rigorous testing and receive certifications from reputable organisations, ensuring they meet high standards of performance and safety.

Protect Your People

We use cleaning products to kill germs and protect our health, but many traditional chemicals pose health risks themselves. Volatile organic compounds in these products can cause serious health problems, including cancer and respiratory issues, especially when individuals are exposed to them on a daily basis. 

In the hospitality industry, where cleaning is frequent and thorough, it's crucial to consider the health impacts on staff and guests. Using non-toxic cleaning products can lead to a healthier, happier workforce and better guest satisfaction.

Environmental and Financial Benefits

Plastic packaging for cleaning products is a significant environmental issue. Less than 9% of plastic is recycled, and this number is decreasing. This has a devastating impact on wildlife and the environment.

Sustainable cleaning solutions often come with less packaging or allow businesses to produce their cleaning solutions on-site, significantly reducing plastic waste. This not only helps the planet but can also save money.

Furthermore, non-corrosive, eco-friendly products are gentler on equipment and surfaces, extending their lifespan and lowering maintenance and replacement expenses.

Show Customers You Care

With an Accor survey finding that 70% of travellers consider sustainability credentials when choosing hospitality businesses, it's clear that adopting eco-friendly practices is an opportunity to increase customer satisfaction and attract new business.

Moving away from toxic chemicals also improves the comfort of your space, ensuring your guests can breathe easily and don’t come into contact with irritable substances.
