It's a Green New Year
Green Cleaning by SM
With the start of a new year, many companies are thinking about making some changes. The new year is a great time to "go green" in some simple ways that can really make a big difference for our community and environment.
Switching to green cleaning for your business is not only the responsible way to clean, but it is easy to do, cost-efficient and has been proven to be healthier for your employees. Recent studies have proven improved employee health, productivity and retention, along with lower operating costs and sometimes government incentives.
This year look into adding ServiceMaster's green cleaning methods to your existing maintenance plan. We offer complete care with effective cleaning technologies and reduced toxins affecting our environment. We take our responsibility to our environment seriously and make it easy for homes and businesses to switch over to green cleaning. Check out the details on our green-cleaning plan for your home and business.

5 Green Cleaning Tips
Easy Ways to Go Green at Home
 1) Use cleaning products made from safe natural and not-toxic ingredients to prevent exposure to the hazardous synthetic chemicals conventional cleaners contain.
2) Dust with a damp cloth to ensure that household dust, which collects toxins, is removed from surfaces and not stirred back into the air.
3) Open windows and doors occasionally (even in winter!) to rinse out any air pollutants that have accumulated inside.
4) Don't use aerosol products. They fill your home with microscopic droplets of whatever is being sprayed. These droplets remain suspended in the air for hours and are easily inhaled.
5) Avoid room deodorizers or other air "freshening" products, which are frequently made from unhealthy chemicals.
