A Guide to Sustainability for Sydney Commercial Cleaning

5 March 2020

At Sydney Sweep and Scrub, we believe that all commercial cleaning must be done with sustainability in mind.

This isn’t always easy and takes some effort on the part of the cleaning company. However, it’s definitely worth it.

Sustainable cleaning practices have great benefits for the environment, your staff and even the bottom line of your business.

Therefore, we should take every measure possible to remain sustainable when cleaning. Here’s how to do that.

Eco-Friendly Chemicals

We utilise eco-friendly chemicals in all of our cleaning practices, and we think that other Sydney commercial cleaning companies should too.

Unfortunately, cleaning chemicals can do a lot of damage to the environment.

Chemical components like nitrogen, phosphorus and ammonia can be harmful when they enter the waterways in large quantities.

This can affect marine life, as well as make water unsafe for drinking, cooking or bathing.

Using eco-friendly chemicals for a commercial cleaning project will ensure this problem is avoided. It’s simply a better result for everyone.

Conserve Water

It’s so important to conserve water in any kind of cleaning application.

Water is our most precious resource and we must always be careful with how we use it. This includes during a Sydney commercial cleaning project.

Using less water when mopping, wiping down surfaces and cleaning bathrooms goes a long way to remaining sustainable.

Furthermore, it means lower costs on water bills for your business.

Use Less Power

Saving energy is something many industries strive to do.

Thankfully, with our cutting-edge cleaning equipment and experience, we know exactly how to save energy whilst cleaning your commercial space.

This not only makes our cleaning practices more sustainable; it also saves money.

When it comes to the bigger picture, less power used means less coal and natural gas burned. This results in a much better result for the environment overall.

Cleaner Air

Smog and air pollution is a serious problem in many urban centers around the world, including Sydney.

Therefore, we all need to do our bit to minimise air pollution.

One way to do this when using cleaning equipment is the addition of HEPA filters, which remove harmful particles from the air.

At Sydney Sweep and Scrub, these filters are present on our cutting-edge sweep and scrub machines. Moreover, our tried and tested cleaning methods ensure less harmful pollutants become airborne.

We also operate extremely efficient vacuums, which grab all manner of dust and dirt from any kind of surface.

When completing a Sydney commercial cleaning project, it’s imperative to take every measure to keep the air clean.
