Here are four ways Commercial Green Cleaning pumps up your ROI ...

1. Drives costs down across the board.
   

The Greening America’s Schools project: A Costs and Benefits study
sought to answer this question. The
focus was on schools; however, many of the findings are absolutely
applicable to every type of facility, building or business.
What they discovered in the study was a bit surprising, even for the
researchers. The study found that there were a number of financial
benefits and cost savings to going Green, and in some cases, they
were so significant that the savings were enough to pay for the hiring
of one additional full-time teacher. Among their conclusions (all
figures are in U.S. dollars):
• Energy costs were reduced by approximately $9 per square
foot in the Green schools.
• Water and wastewater costs were lowered by $1 per square
foot.
• Cost savings as a result of reduction of asthma and other
respiratory illnesses amounted to $3 per square foot. (Much of this is credited to green cleaning practices implemented!)
• Teacher retention (not needing to go through the process of
hiring new teachers) equaled $4 per square foot.
One of the most startling —and controversial— financial benefits the
study reported was that the improvement in lifetime student earnings
was equal to $49 per square foot. This is because with reduced
illness and absenteeism in schools as the result of building and
operating a Green facility, student attendance improved, and
performance and test scores went up as well. 

“
    2. In every type of building we are seeing a direct correlation between Greencleaning and improved worker productivity.
                                                                                                                                                   You are seeing more and more facilities
in the United States and all over North America adopt Green
cleaning. Just as it appears that in schools there is a definite
correlation between the use of environmentally preferable cleaning
products and a reduction in asthma and respiratory illness and
improvement in school attendance and student performance,
the Building Owners and Managers Association
International (BOMA) estimates that the cost of salaries and benefits
per square foot in a U.S. Class A office building is about $150.
Researchers have determined that improved indoor air quality, as a
result of Green cleaning, reduces the frequency of workers blowing
their nose, rubbing an eye, dealing with an allergen-induced
headache, calling or seeing a doctor, and discussing their illness with coworkers.
“This translates into 3 minutes to more than 30 minutes of improved
worker productivity per day per worker. Just a 3-
minute-per-day increase in worker productivity results in a 75-centsper-
square-foot savings. Multiply this by your number of employees - the improvement and savings become significant.”

The most advanced green cleaning solution in Seattle is… water.

Vapor Steam Cleaning with plain tap water used in professional quality equipment instead of traditional cleaning methods? Why bother? What is the difference?

Four reasons you may want to upgrade your cleaning service.

1.) Your service uses outdated equipment and toxic chemicals.  There is absolutely no reason to accept toxic chemicals or antiquated scrubbing that only surface cleans at best. Steam vapor describes a system that uses high temperature, low moisture vapor - containing around 5% water. Very different from the older steam machines, Vapor Steam uses small amounts of water, uses no chemicals and leaves no residue while sanitizing and deodorizing virtually any surface - tough enough for ovens yet gentle enough for carpets and delicate surfaces using only water.

2.) You are worried that your home is not truly being cleaned properly. You are right, if you are using traditional methods it is not being cleaned as well as possible. All the good intentions and elbow grease in the world can’t come close to giving you quality of clean available with professional vapor. Our team at Executive Green Clean (a locally owned independant Seattle cleaning service) know this from hard earned personal experience. We have been delighted with the results we can acheive with vapor steam for the people we serve. The heat and very small water particles enter even the pores - whatever the surface - thoroughly removing contaminants, leaving no residue. Scrubbing often degrades surfaces, eventually dulling them and leaving residues that actually attract grime.Vapor steam leaves  a surface that is visibly cleaner than other methods.

3.) You have children, pets, allergies or a loved one who is ill. Vapor cleaning kills dust mites with only water and without creating the overly moist environment that these mites enjoy. Mattresses, carpets, couches are the most mite infested but they can’t hide from penetrating pure vapor. They dry in minutes - after vapor treating these items Executive Green Clean recommends that you vacuum areas treated thoroughly with a HEPA equipped vacuum, this should be included by any cleaning service that you employ. Fleas, flea eggs and flea larvae are also killed by the vapor. No poisons, just water. Safe for you and your loved ones. Vapor steam sanitizes surfaces - the equipment we use is used by hospitals, killing pathogens that are resistant to the harshest chemicals. Can be used on toothbrushes to reduce length of colds or cross contamination. An absolutely lifesaving method of cleaning if you care for someone with a compromised immune system.

4.)Vapor Steam Cleaning costs the same as traditional cleaning yet is literelly hundreds of times more effective at sanitizing, deodorizing and maintaining  the integrity of your home and belongings and stays clean longer. I would never go back to cleaning without professional vapor steam equipment and methods. Cleaning done right - you absolutely see, smell and feel the difference.
