"The industry is becoming more aware of the benefits environmental cleaning provides" said Michael Gauthier, Business Development Manager of Eastern Building Services. "We hosted this event to educate, familiarize and discuss this emerging practice that affects us all."
Robert Guillemin of the Massachusetts EPA and Kevin McNulty of 3M Commercial Care both provided detailed information regarding safe work practices, proper chemical usage, health hazards and how to green clean. Other topics covered ranged from LEED certification and economical benefits to energy, recycling and water savings.
Governmental facilities nationwide and states such as Illinois and New York have already established and mandated the green cleaning process. Industry experts feel that this practice will rapidly follow in other states and will eventually be required.
