Our Presenters
We Heard From Dana Lessard Of ProTeam On The Importance Of Green
Cleaning And What You Can Do To Help Make The Air We Breath Less Pollutant.
He Pointed Out That Having The Right Equipment, Tools And Following The
Correct Cleaning Procedures Can Save Valuable Time, Energy, And Can
Ultimately Cut Down On Green House Gases That We Produce During These
Activities.
Next, Jordan Soreff From Brulin Talked About How We Live In An
Industrialized Society, And Stressed The Importance Of Why Switching To
Green Products Is Beneficial, Not Only To The Environment, But To Everyone's
Health.
Main Points Discussed At The Seminar
Green Cleaning Tips
How To Implement Green Cleaning In Your Facility:
- Become An Advocate: Voice Your Feelings
About Your Health And The Environment To Your Employer.
- Education And Training: Learn About What
Cleaning Products Are Out There, What Is Bad For Your Health And What
Can Be Done To Change This.
- Create A Green Program: Contact An All
Star Representative To Help You Create A Plan Of Attack. A Plan Could Be
A Gradual Switch To Green Products And Procedures. All Star Will Help
You Decipher What The Best Plan Is For You.
- Do The Numbers: Overall Green Products
Like Brulin's TerraGreen Line, Are Extremely Cost Effective Compared To
Traditional Harsh Cleaning Products. These Products Are Highly
Concentrated Giving You More Use Out Of One Container. (This also helps
the environment by consuming less plastic containers, less ordering due
to high concentration, less shipping gases used, which ultimately leads
to less pollutants) The Savings Are Exponential.

- Make A Check List: Create A Detailed
List Of Everything You Do On A Daily Basis. List How Often You Go
Through Mop Heads, How Much Chemical Is Used, How Long It Takes To
Complete A Certain Task. Then Show Your List To Management So They Can
Clearly See Where They Need To Make Improvements And Exactly Where The
Cost Benefits Would Be If They Switched To Green Cleaning.
- Be Aware Of The Risks: If You Don't "Go
Green" You And Those Around You Can Face Some Serious Risks. Chemicals
Traditionally Used For Cleaning Contain Butyls, Ethers, VOC's (Volatile
Organic Compounds), Ammonia, Chlorine... Just To Name A Few. Prolonged
Exposure To These Chemicals Increase Your Risk Of Reproductive
Abnormalities, Birth Defects, Respiratory Problems, And Cancer.
