Buying environmentally preferable cleaning products is an easy way to “go green.” Certification standards (i.e. eco-labels) such as Green Seal’s GS-37 and GS-42 make choosing an EPP cleaner or cleaning service provider easy. Using EPP cleaning chemicals minimizes ground ozone pollution, a potent valley irritant created by volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), vehicle emissions, and sunlight. Buying EPP cleaning products also prevents employee and building occupant exposure to toxic chemicals.
