Hello, my name is Dr. Don, and I want to welcome you to this Delta Janitorial Systems video where I'm going to answer a question we often get from our prospective clients, and that is, does your company use green cleaning? The quick and simple answer to that question is, yes, we do. Delta Janitorial Systems does use green cleaning processes, products, and equipment. But the more important question that some of you might be asking is, so what? Who cares? And why does it even matter? What's the big deal about green cleaning? Well, green cleaning is the answer to a big problem that you should be very interested in, and that problem is indoor air quality. You see, most offices have contained air conditioning and heating systems that recycle the same air over and over. That means that dirt and toxins are brought into the environment, but it's difficult to get them out. Our office interiors, like new carpet, freshly painted walls, new furniture, are made of synthetic materials that give off what are called VOCs. That stands for volatile organic compounds. These aren't good for our health and often are the cause of headaches and allergies. That new smell isn't the healthiest thing for you, but the off gassing of synthetic building materials declines with time. However, synthetic building materials aren't the only things that contribute to unhealthy indoor air quality. Believe it or not, your janitor service may be one of the biggest contributors to the problem. Many of the cleaning products that standard janitorial companies use are very toxic to indoor air quality. These cleaning products may clean very well, but they also give off VOCs that are bad for our health and bad for indoor air quality in general. It's not just the products either. Many janitorial services use commercial upright vacuum cleaners that spew small dust particles back into the air you breathe. Over time, these small particles build up and create a very unhealthy environment. You may not realize it, but airborne dust particles are the main carriers of viruses and disease. Green cleaning uses cleaning products that don't off gas toxins. And green cleaning uses dust containment technology that removes dust particles down to a fraction of a micron. So the indoor air quality actually improves with each clean. This can make a huge difference in the health and attendance of your staff. A good example of this is a Syracuse school district that switched to green cleaning. The switch led to massive improvement in attendance. Now, consider this. The students had no idea that the cleaning practices had changed, and they probably wouldn't have cared anyway. But attendance significantly improved. So you can see that green cleaning is important because it improves the health and productivity of the staff that makes more money for the business. And green cleaning costs no more than standard janitorial practices. So if it all costs the same, why not demand green cleaning for your offices?
