Empire Cleaning Goes Green: Reducing Our Carbon Footprint

​

At Empire Cleaning, we understand the importance of environmental responsibility. That's why we've implemented a comprehensive program to reduce our carbon footprint and embrace eco-friendly cleaning practices. Here's a detailed look at our initiatives:

1. Microfiber Magic:

• We've replaced traditional cotton mops and cloths with high-quality microfiber alternatives. Microfibers trap dirt and dust effectively, eliminating the need for harsh chemicals and excessive water usage.

• Statistic: According to the Environmental Protection Agency: [invalid URL removed], switching to microfiber cloths can reduce water consumption by up to 70% compared to traditional mops and cloths.

2. Green Cleaning Products:

We use eco-friendly cleaning solutions that are biodegradable, non-toxic, and free of harsh chemicals. These products are safe for people, pets, and the environment.

• Statistic: A study by Green Seal: https://greenseal.org/ found that switching to green cleaning products can reduce human health risks associated with cleaning chemicals by up to 50%.

3. High-Efficiency Vacuums:

• Our vacuums are certified high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters. These filters capture even the smallest dust particles, improving indoor air quality and reducing the need for additional cleaning products.

• Statistic: HEPA filters can remove up to 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America: [invalid URL removed].

4. Water Conservation Techniques:

• We employ water-saving techniques like bucket washing and microfiber mopping instead of traditional hose washing.

• Statistic: The Canadian Council for Ministers of the Environment: https://www.ccme.ca/ estimates that commercial cleaning can account for up to 15% of a building's total water usage. By implementing water-saving measures, Empire Cleaning helps conserve this precious resource.
