In recent years, many organizations have decided to rely on eco-friendly products to clean and maintain their facilities.
Why?
Well, primarily because these products are not formulated with harsh chemicals that are harmful to the environment.
However, these products also offer a wider range of benefits that traditional commercial cleaning products do not offer.
Below, we’ll highlight some of these additional advantages of eco-friendly commercial cleaning products and maintenance supplies.
Benefit #1: Biodegradable
One of the biggest benefits of many eco-friendly cleaners and facility maintenance products is that they are biodegradable.
What does that mean?
Unlike most traditional commercial cleaners, biodegradable cleaners and products do not contain harsh chemicals. Instead, they are manufactured using natural and/or safe ingredients. That means they break down naturally without harming the environment.
Since traditional commercial cleaners use non-biodegradable ingredients, these chemicals and substances do not break down and can cause long-lasting and damaging effects to people, animals and our fragile ecosystems.
Benefit #2: Non-Toxic
Another advantage of using eco-friendly products to clean and maintain a public building or private facility is that many of these products are non-toxic.
As we mentioned in the previous paragraph, most commercial cleaning products feature chemicals, substances and other materials that can be harmful to people, animals and plants. In fact, prolonged exposure to some of the chemicals contained in these products may result in serious health issues like respiratory problems. And if some of these cleaners or products are ingested by people or animals, they could be fatal.
Eco-friendly cleaning and maintenance products are a safer alternative to many common commercial-grade cleaners.
Benefit #3: Non-Caustic
In addition to their biodegradable and non-toxic properties, many eco-friendly commercial cleaners and products are also non-caustic.
This is in stark contrast to how many common commercial cleaners employ chemicals which can burn bare skin, irritate eyes, damage surfaces and even corrode metals, plastics and other materials.
Using eco-friendly cleaning products helps organizations reduce the risk of discomfort, injury and property damage associated with caustic cleaners and maintenance products. This is especially beneficial for schools, hospitals, cafeterias or any facility that sees a high volume of visitors and staff each day.
Additionally, non-caustic cleaners and maintenance products are also a good idea for kennels, stables, veterinary hospitals, and other facilities house animals and pets. Non-caustic products are also a great idea for cleaning and maintaining equipment and tools since their contents won’t corrode or damage the metal, plastic and acrylic parts and accessories.
Benefit #4: Odorless
Sometimes these fragrances are actually unpleasant enough to ruin the daily experience for staff, customers and visitors. In some cases, their fragrances may cause headaches, trigger allergies, and irritate eyes.
Since eco-friendly products use natural ingredients as their foundation, there are more options available that are odorless. Instead of bothering those who are sensitive to strong fragrances, these products allow facilities to effectively clean and maintain their spaces and equipment without worrying about lingering odors.

Benefit #5: Cost Effective
Investing in eco-friendly products has financial benefits, too. While some eco-friendly commercial cleaning products may be priced slightly higher than their conventional counterparts, they can actually save facilities more money in the long run.
Many environmentally friendly cleaners are concentrated so they use less product to clean, yet deliver the same or greater level of cleanliness as common cleaners. That being the case, these eco-friendly cleaning products will last longer, requiring less reorders – and resulting in more savings.
Benefit #6: Environmentally Conscious
Finally, organizations that choose to use eco-friendly products to clean and maintain their facilities may score popularity points with the public and their employees.
Since more and more individuals are becoming environmentally conscious, they may be more likely to support businesses that demonstrate their commitment to the environment, sustainability and the well-being of others by using eco-friendly cleaning products at their facilities.
Finding The Right Eco-Friendly Cleaners and Maintenance Products
Clearly, making the switch from common commercial cleaning products to eco-friendly alternatives has many benefits. In addition to being safer for the environment, people, animals and plants, many of these products are non-toxic, non-caustic and odorless. Plus, they can even be advantageous for your organization’s public perception and your budgets.
