Today’s consumer is concerned with public hazards to them, their families and their environment. They’re seeking out products at businesses where they can feel good about the money they spend there. They want to patronize establishments that demonstrate environmental responsibility. Naturally, business owners who recognize this growing demand are making the smart switch to green cleaners.

In addition to the marketing value, “all-natural green cleaning” directly cuts costs by minimizing health and safety liabilities. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), contaminated indoor air costs employers approximately $60 billion a year in sick leave and lost production. Still think the cleaners on your shelves are not a liability? According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 127 janitorial workers died between 1993 and 2001 as a result of the cleaning products they were using.

A recent consumer survey revealed that cleanliness has jumped to No. 2 on the list of reasons for returning to a restaurant. Beyond Green Cleaning™ offers an excellent selection of products to improve cleanliness in critical, high-traffic areas and to reduce the risk of food-borne illnesses and cross-contamination behind the scenes.

With the all-natural Beyond Green Cleaning™ Products, businesses using the non-toxic, odor-free cleaners also reduce costs because they can clean during operating hours. With traditional cleaners, the dirty business of maintaining cleanliness has to take place behind closed doors. The chemical odor of traditional cleaners is strong enough to grab attention and certainly does not whet the appetite. But with odor-free, non-toxic cleaners, owners can eliminate costly after-hours cleaning. Plus, with the growing trend of open-kitchen style restaurants, odor-free and non-toxic cleaning is a must.

There are literally hundreds of “seals” sponsored by industry associations and private organizations claiming that the attached product is green. Unfortunately, most of these are affiliated and strongly influenced by large corporations and do not necessarily signify any industry or government standards’ compliance. The EPA is developing those standards, but until then, your best defense is to read labels and compare Material Safety Data Sheets (“MSDS”).
