Eco-Friendly Cleaning Chemicals for a Sustainable Office

Eco-friendly cleaning products bring more benefit than they say on the label. As well as keeping your workspace as welcoming and hygienic as possible for guests and employees, the right sustainable cleaning supplies can also help you meet your business’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goals.

At phs, we offer workplaces a range of sustainable cleaning supplies and consumables, allowing companies to work towards their CSR pledges while maintaining the best hygiene standards. 

How can sustainable cleaning support your business’s CSR goals? 

A Corporate Social Responsibility pledge takes action as well as words. As a business, it’s essential that your day-to-day operations reflect your attitude towards environmental responsibility. The most cost-effective way to do this is by switching to eco-friendly cleaning products.

This is because traditional industrial cleaning chemicals often contain harsh ingredients which can release Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) into the air, causing unnecessary harm to the environment and employee health.

With this in mind, switching to green cleaning solutions is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to show key stakeholders that your business cares about sustainability as well as employee well-being. 

What are the disadvantages of using traditional cleaning chemicals? 

Many industrial cleaning chemicals contain non-biodegradable substances that can wreak havoc on waterways, ecosystems, and affect air quality. These chemicals can also increase the risk of surface corrosion and airborne allergic reactions, specifically in poorly ventilated parts of the workplace.

Unfortunately, using harmful cleaning products can lead to poor employee wellbeing, increased sickness-related absences, as well as equipment and furniture breakage and replacement costs.

As an alternative, our eco-friendly cleaning products and sustainables offer unparalleled cleaning performance without the risk of environmental or human harm. To ensure this, our products are safe, effective, and fully compliant with the latest workplace health standards. 

Which eco-friendly cleaning products should workplaces use instead? 

If you’d like to align your cleaning cupboard with your business’s CSR pledge, these are the best eco-friendly cleaning products to start with: 

• All-purpose cleaner: Choose a biodegradable detergent for cleaning desks, counters, and other common surfaces. Biodegradable detergents are formulated to be tough on dirt but kind to the environment, allowing you to solve two problems with one simple solution.
• Floor cleaner: Opt for a concentrated eco-friendly floor cleaner that can be diluted as and when needed. This can help reduce packaging waste and ensure you always have floor cleaner ready for end-of-day or deeper cleaning.
• Disinfectant spray: Select alcohol-free formulas designed to kill germs and bacteria without releasing harmful fumes and VOCs.
• Glass cleaner: Choose ammonia-free glass cleaning products to improve indoor air quality.
• Recycled paper consumables: To accompany your eco-friendly cleaning cupboard, you can also choose from recycled toilet rolls and centrefeed rolls to feature in your sustainable washrooms.
