Regular readers of this blog will know that we write about sustainability more than anything else, whether it's reducing the amount of plastics in packaging, using floorcare pads made from recycled plastics with water alone, floorcare machines that use less energy, water and cleaning solution, or adopting ultra-concentrate products with accurate dosing and dilution. The sustainability benefits in improved results, lower costs and reduced environmental impact can be significant so it's no surprise that these are some of the biggest trends in our industry.
Our handy guide to Chemical Free Cleaning summarises how key parts of the Diversey range can support improved sustainability.
Cleaning without chemicals is increasingly popular because it helps reduce costs, simplify processes and enhance sustainability. The correct products and tools used in the right way can help transform any cleaning operation. Our guide outlines how different Diversey products enable chemical-free cleaning without compromising on performance and results.
Costs are reduced because there is no need to keep buying chemical products to support your cleaning processes. In addition to the cost of the product, this helps you save on purchasing, storage and handling tasks.
Processes are often simpler when chemicals are no longer used. Staff do not need to learn about the safe handling and correct use of chemicals which helps reduce training and implementation costs. This also reduces your compliance, safety and documentation burdens.
Removing chemicals from the workplace also eliminates the risk of introducing contamination and irritants. This helps maintain a pleasant and safe environment for employees, guests and visitors. It also removes any risk of damage to valuable fixtures and fittings.
Finally, cleaning without chemicals also promotes and enhances the sustainability of cleaning operations. No raw materials are consumed to make chemicals or packaging. There is no need to distribute, store and handle products. This reduces reliance on transport which results in fewer chemical miles and CO2 emissions.
