Green Cleaning Products and Janitorial Supplies

When we go out to get cleaning supplies for spring cleaning, we usually look at the price of products and go for the ones that are the cheapest. It never passes through our minds whether or not these products are eco-friendly because the only thing that we want to do is clean and be fast at it. Environmentally friendly products, however, can be just as effective as other cleaning products and have the benefit of not polluting the environment when they are disposed of. What are some environmental products that you could buy?

Trash Bags:

Other Green Janitorial Supplies:

There are other products that are not necessarily made from recycled materials that can help reduce your environmental footprint. Hand dryers are a common solution that are used to reduce the amount of paper towels consumed resulting in less trees being chopped down.

With any cleaning job you are going to need gloves to protect your skin. Most of these gloves are made from rubber, making their material very valuable for recycling when they are discarded.

To reduce the amount of water and energy that is consumed, automatic flushers have become very popular. They not only save water, but they’re also going to keep your bathroom much more hygienic because germs are less likely to spread. This product is great for those who want to optimize use because it does not require as much maintenance.
