U.S. Standard Products is proud to offer a full line of environmentally friendly cleaning products for the industrial and janitorial industries. Wondering what makes these products more “green” than their traditional counterparts? We’ll give you a hint: it’s not the color! In this blog, we’ll explore what these eco-friendly products are all about and take a look at the benefits of using them.
Tell me more about these “green” cleaning products.
Green or eco-friendly cleaning products enable users to tackle tough messes and buildup, while protecting their environment and personal well being. Unlike traditional cleaners, our Certified Green products adhere to the highest standards and do not contain strong acids or harmful chemicals like:
- Heavy metals
- Chlorinated solvents
- Mineral acids
- Chemicals that don’t easily biodegrade
While it’s true that eco-friendly cleaners tend to cost a little more than traditional, harsher cleaning chemicals, many believe that the benefits outweigh the price difference. Here are just a few of the benefits of using green cleaning products:
Health Benefits
Traditional cleaning products often contain Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) that can impair neurological functions, according to Life Science. Other chemicals can irritate the respiratory system, be toxic to the reproductive system and act as carcinogens.
By using green cleaning products in the workplace, you can facilitate a safer and healthier work environment. Users are able to avoid breathing in toxins and coming into contact with strong acids that can be harmful to their health.
Environmental Benefits
When washed down the drain, the ammonia, phosphorus and nitrogen that are found in many cleaning products cannot be absorbed by waste treatment facilities. When they make their way to the waterways, the chemicals cause a severe imbalance in nourishment, which accelerates plant growth to the point of extinction. When the overgrowth of vegetation dies, the body of water is depleted of oxygen, creating “dead zones” that aren’t able to house natural ecosystems.
Additionally, when traditional cleaning chemicals are vented outdoors (which they should be for health reasons), the VOCs contribute to air pollution and smog.
U.S. Standard Products helps you do your part in keeping the environment healthy by eliminating the chemicals that cause harm to the environment from our green cleaning products.
Performance Benefits
Many eco-friendly products get a bad rap for not being as effective as their traditional counterparts, but with U.S. Standard Products, you don’t have to worry about the power behind our green cleaners. All of our products have undergone extensive lab and field-testing to meet our internal Safer and Superior New Product Standard, ensuring that the green cleaners are as effective, if not more effective, than their traditional counterparts.
Our industrial-grade products take the lead when it comes to performance, enabling your cleaning crew to easily destroy the grime, dirt, mildew and other buildups in your workplace. Plus, the more gentle formula is less corrosive, meaning less wear and tear on the surfaces being cleaned.
Arm your cleaning crew with the best green products around.
