Environmentally friendly Restrooms

If there is one place in your office that we would recommend you to start implementing your environmentally friendly workplace vision, that would be RESTROOMS. As an undisputable source of disease restrooms are also one of the main environmental hazards. Conventional cleaners use on average 4 different types of environmentally hazardous chemicals in the restrooms for which COGO Building Maintenance offers environmentally friendly substitutes:

• Hand soap
• Glass cleaner
• Neutral surface cleaner
• Neutral hard (floor) cleaner

Most commercial janitorial firms obtain their products from janitorial supply dealers and they are almost by default full of hazardous chemicals including bleach, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Propylene Glycol (Antifreeze), Dioxane, Dioxin and many more. Instead of doing the same, here at COGO Building Maintenance we offer, mild, biodegradable chemical formulas certified by Green Seal™, and EcoLogo™, that have met standards of environmentally friendly cleaning without sacrificing product performance.

At the same time restrooms greatly depend on paper products and one of the shocking facts that we had a chance to learn about through article in New York Times was that “In the United States, which is the largest market worldwide for toilet paper, tissue from 100% recycled fibers makes up less than 2 percent of sales…” We at COGO Building Maintenance offer toilet paper and towels that are just as soft as conventional toilet paper and towels but at the same time 100% post-consumer, totally chlorine free and biodegradable. It really comes just to a choice that we have to make nothing more than that to protect our environment.

One more aspect of restroom cleaning is disposable trash and hygiene bags. Most commercial cleaners are still using plastic bags as a trash bags and hygiene bags in toilets and restrooms where they are needed. COGO Building Maintenance offers prime recycled paper bags that are completely biodegradable and environmentally friendly therefore reducing one more aspect that damages environment.
