Course Description

Green cleaning is an approach to cleaning that prioritizes the use of nontoxic and environmentally friendly cleaning products and practices. Unlike conventional cleaning methods that often involve harsh chemicals, green cleaning aims to minimize harmful impacts on both human health and the environment. By reducing the use of hazardous chemicals, wasteful practices, and excessive energy consumption, green cleaning can significantly contribute to creating a more sustainable workplace. This is critical in reducing illnesses in workers who use your spaces. Rashes and asthma associated with disinfectants and cleaners are two of the most common occupational illnesses in workers. In this course, we’ll go over what’s known as “sick building syndrome” and define volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. We’ll also take you through steps to implement green cleaning concepts into your workplace.
