Cleaning for Health and the Environment
Cleaning for Health and the Environment is an emerging trend sweeping the country, as more people demand their places of business, schools and medical facilities be safe and environmentally friendly. Green Cleaning techniques and products avoid the use of chemically reactive and toxic cleaning products which contain various toxic chemicals, some of which emit volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) causing respiratory and dermatological problems among other adverse effects.
At HP Products we care about the health of your building’s occupants as much as you do. We offer customized cleaning programs that meet the needs of your facility, workers and best practices. Our products help address a wide range of indoor environmental issues, including indoor air quality, respiratory ailments such as asthma, allergies, dust mites, mold and mildew, harmful chemicals sensitivities and other indoor environmental concerns.
Green Cleaning products, together with an effective program, can reduce risk of injury from chemicals by replacing the most dangerous cleaning products with safe certified products, reducing the total number of chemicals used and following approved safety measures
