The cost benefits to the buildings we clean are not so easy to calculate. We do know that the long range benefits of green cleaning services extend the life of carpet, flooring, furnishings, computers, and HVAC systems.

We also know millions of man-hours are lost each year due to asthma exacerbated by poor indoor air quality. We know by providing green janitorial commercial office cleaning services Dallas Building Maintenance can help reduce environmental hazards that negatively affect your employees and visitors.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that people spend up to 90% of their time indoors. Products and materials indoors release volatile chemicals and particles into the air that may negatively affect a person's health or result in unacceptable odors.

Furthermore, undesirable IAQ can increase the risk of sickness and lead to ailments such as allergies, asthma, reproductive and developmental problems, and cancer. The economic impact is equally alarming, since poor IAQ can affect employee health and productivity. A 2005 report by one US State’s Air Resource's Board estimates the cost of poor IAQ in that particular state alone to be $45 billion per year. A green janitorial commercial office cleaning services program can help reduce these kinds of costs.

While green cleaning products and services are important, the tools and procedures used with them are equally as critical. In fact, all three components; products, tools, and procedures, and how they are used together, is most notable.

Even the best commercial office cleaning services, products, and tools won't work unless the janitorial workers are well-trained and embrace their use.

DBM offers microfiber tools that require less water and chemicals to clean surfaces effectively.

DBM also offers professional vacuums and buffing equipment that are Carpet & Rug Institute (CRI)-certified and have HEPA filters for decibel noise reduction. This equipment meets the guidelines set up in the LEED-EB rating system.

There are other areas that property managers and facility managers may consider in their green janitorial commercial office cleaning services that Dallas Building Maintenance can help with, such as; carpet, chairs, waiting room couches, cubicle panels, draperies, and other soft furnishings, which can harbor allergens and dirt particles.

As essential as cleaning is for a building, textile maintenance should also be an important part of the overall green cleaning services plan.

Cross-contamination

Cross-contamination is a significant issue that effects many cleaning services, and one you can avoid if you use a green commercial office cleaning service; after all, thoroughly cleaning one area and then dragging dirt and germs into another area of the building defeats the purpose of cleaning for health. Example: a cleaner uses one rag to clean a toilet and then that same rag to wipe out a sink.

Restroom Cleaning

Restroom cleaning is the one task many other cleaning services miss the mark on. It is a nasty, dirty, smelly, unpleasant task.

The #1 facility concern in America is dirty, un-sanitized restrooms.

Dallas Building Maintenance offers a mobile, self-contained cleaning system designed for portable restroom cleaning but excellent for other applications as well, such as; locker rooms/showers, walls, floors, mats, health clubs, docks, trash areas, and kitchen de-greasing.

Spreading bacteria is a serious problem with many commercial office cleaning services. Our cleaning strategies include cleaning methods to reduce the impact of the spread of bacteria to you, your employees and visitors. Not just cleaning, not just sanitizing, but disinfecting as well.

We cannot calculate the cost saving to you, but we know it does reduce the spread of bacteria, thereby reducing the chance of illness and employee absenteeism.

Training

We also encourage our customers to purchase Green Seal approved paper products. Our cleaning operation undertsands that the environment has an effect on everyone's wellness.
