GREEN CLEANING: Healthier for our Schools, Healthier for our Planet!
greenschools recommends the following:
1. Use 3rd party certified green products like Green Seal or Eco Logo.
2. Reduce the use of disinfectants and sanitizers (soap and water really work).
3. Avoid the use of synthetic/strong fragrances. (Clean doesn't have to have a scent.)
4. Beware of "Green-Washing".
