In these pandemic times, facility owners have been busy stepping up their cleaning and disinfecting game. At first, no one really thought much about how all these extra chemicals might be affecting our planet. It seemed like a short-term thing, just until we got a handle on the pandemic. But now, it’s looking like these intense cleaning routines might stick around for the long haul.
Time to Think About Our Planet
So, what does all this mean for the environment? Joe Choplin from City Wide and Michael Watson from EnvirOx – a company known for its eco-friendly products – had a chat about this. They talked about how the pandemic has changed cleaning practices and why it’s important to think about the environment while we’re cleaning more than ever.
Is Green Cleaning Up to the Task?
Some people might wonder if green cleaning is as good as the usual chemical stuff. Well, groups like Green Seal say yes. They put out a big guide explaining that eco-friendly cleaners work just as well. They’re not as harsh but still get the job done, which is especially good to know now when there’s so much cleaning going on.
Looking Out for Those at Higher Risk
We also need to think about folks who might be more affected by all these chemicals, like people with asthma. The CDC says they’re at higher risk for COVID-19. Green Seal’s guide stresses picking safer products, particularly ones without ingredients that could trigger asthma.
Finding the Right Balance
Michael Watson, who’s had his own health battles and knows what it’s like to live with asthma, really drives this point home. In a podcast with Joe, he talks about how we need to disinfect effectively without harming our planet. They cover a lot of ground, like what the industry has learned from the pandemic, how facility owners are changing their ways, and why using sustainable disinfectants is now crucial
