Going Green in the work place

With the fast paced lives that we all lead today, it is hard to go green. In our blog today we will be going over some ways that you can go green effortlessly in your office.

• Commute to work. With the rise in gas prices, wouldn’t it be nice to save some green while going green. Try taking public transportation to work or even biking or carpooling.

• We all need that morning cup of coffee or smoothie in the morning to jump start our day. This time before you grab that plastic or throw away cup, think about getting yourself a reusable cup. They have so many to choose from these days, you are sure to find the right fit for you.

• Maybe put up a little green while going green. Get some small indoor plants. If you happen to have an office with a nice window put up some plants by the window and let the sun shine through. If you have a cubicle, then research plants that don’t need direct sunlight.

• Instead of rushing for the elevator, try taking the stairs. Doing this can not only increase your everyday energy consumption it is good exercise.

• A big difference you could make in the work place and save some green while doing it is printing less. Save money and trees while printing less. If you happen to print too many copies or make a mistake when printing make sure to have a recycling bin next to the printer.

• Always make it a practice of turning off the lights when no one is in the room. Turning off your computers in the office at night and the power strip, can save energy also.

• The restrooms are another place you can go green. By using one at a time towel dispensers it can cut down on the excess use and waste of paper towels.


At The Business Cleaning Company, we strive to go green not only in our own office but by helping our clients go green as well. TBCC can provide a variety of towel and soap dispensers to save our clients green and help them go green.

In this day and age of eating on the go, and everything being so fast paced hygiene may not always be on the fore front of peoples mind. So some people opt for the quick and easy way and just use hand sanitizer. But sometimes hand sanitizer may not only be enough. When you have visible dirt or other bodily fluids on their hands, hand sanitizers are not enough. The combination of hand washing and hand sanitizers can be a deadly force against germs.

In the past towels are used by janitors to clean surfaces that have been potentially contaminated with infectious bodily fluids. With the cross over to paper products, it will help reduce the contamination to those who come in contact with those who are utilizing the facility.

Getting Rid of Dust Mites

Although dust mites do not attack the human body directly, their presence can trigger an allergic reaction causing great discomfort to those who are susceptible to them. In fact, it is not the dust themselves that cause the problem as much as the protein found in their remains and in their excreta, namely DER p1.

Sometimes, normal carpeting cannot remove the remains of dust mites and that is why commercial carpet cleaning needs to be called in.  The fibers of most carpets have a rough fibrous surface that hold dust mites within the pile even when a normal vacuum cleaner is used to suck them out. Only a commercial  carpet cleaner coupled with specialist cleaning agents can do a proper job of removing them almost completely, the operative term here is 'almost completely' because dust mites are impossible to entirely eradicate.

Let's look at the best strategy is for keeping your office as free of dust mites as possible.

• Use a commercial carpet cleaning service that regularly cleans carpets and schedules the use of a hot steam process at least every six months in conjunction with appropriate pesticides.
• Eliminate as much dust from the environment as possible from things like shelving and desks which can accumulate dust in large amounts if left unattended. This means that the cleaning contract should involve cleaning all office equipment especially hidden shelves and the tops of books or folders which may be left unused for long periods of time.
• Look at the possibility of installing air cleaners which will rid the air of dust before it can settle into the carpet.
