Proper cleaning and maintenance of medical facilities is important for hygiene and to prevent Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) from spreading in these settings.
Where hospitals, clinics, nursing homes and assisted living facilities exercise daily office cleaning on their own to keep the premises clean and hygienic, for more thorough and comprehensive cleaning jobs, they prefer hiring cleaning companies.
However, many of these cleaning companies use toxic cleaning solutions that have their own negative impacts and as a result they end up doing more harm than good.
The contents present in these cleaning solutions can cause headache, coughing, breathing difficulties, nausea, skin rashes and many other health conditions, making their use potentially unsafe for the patients being treated at the facility, as well as for the medical staff working there.
Good news is, the healthcare industry is finally realizing the adverse health effects of these toxic cleaning agents and more and more facility owners are moving toward “green cleaning” alternatives.
What is green cleaning?
Green cleaning refers to cleaning practices that involve the use of environmental friendly products. These products have formulations that are free of harmful chemicals, with the ingredients being biodegradable.
At present, only few office and commercial cleaning companies offer green cleaning services. Rest, mostly offer the traditional cleaning services.
So why should you hire a green cleaning company for your health office anyway?
As stated, green cleaning eliminates the use of toxic and harmful chemicals that might otherwise lead to serious health conditions. This can be potentially unsafe for your patients.
Secondly, green cleaning practices also ensure the safety of your medical staff. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, employers must ensure the safety of their employees and provide them with all the necessary tools and equipment to keep them protected from any potential accidents. Since long term exposure to harmful chemicals is not good for your medical staff, using green cleaning solutions alleviate all such concerns.
Third, green cleaning practices are found to be more effective at infection control than traditional cleaning methods.
Fourth, hiring a green cleaning company is more economical than hiring a traditional office cleaning company.
And lastly, green cleaning is also better for the environment. Green cleaning products have an eco-friendly formulation, while their packaging is made from a recyclable material.
