Reduce Toxic Cleaning Products and Divert Waste from the Landfill

Around the holidays, there’s bound to be more traffic through the office kitchen with people bringing in sweet treats.  Or, maybe the office holiday party is held in the kitchen.

When cleaning the kitchen before and after the gatherings, you don’t want it smelling like toxic fumes.  Replace conventional cleaners with ones that are natural, such as the “Simple Green Concentrated Cleaner,” or the “All-Purpose Industrial Degreaser/Cleaner.”  Both of these products are offered through EcoGreenOffice, and they are nontoxic and biodegradable, and can be used on multiple surfaces, including wood, stainless steel and fiberglass. 

For a quick cleanup, check out a pack of all-purpose cleaning nontoxic cleaning wipes made from compostable, biodegradable bamboo fibers.  Or, try the scouring stick made from 100% post-consumer content.

You also want to make sure that people are throwing their waste in the right bin.  Make sure the trash, recycling and composting bins are clearly labeled.  Consider listing on the recycling and composting bins what can and cannot be recycled or composted, so there’s no confusion.  Check out your municipality’s recycling rules for an informative and expert list.   

If you don’t have a recycling bin, or need another one, EcoGreenOffice has a variety of recycling receptacles.  And, don’t forget earth-friendly kitchen & trash bags made from 65% recycled content available in black or white.

Finally, before people enter the office building, have them wipe their feet on a doormat with a carpeted surface made from 100% post-consumer plastic bottles and a rubber backing made with used tires. 

It's important to use cleaning products free of harmful chemicals every time we clean, and it's especially important to use nontoxic products in the kitchen, so food isn't contaminated.  "Simple Green Concentrated Cleaner" is just one multipurpose ecofriendly cleaner supplied through EcoGreenOffice.
