Green Janitorial Hoax

The focus for "Going Green" is almost all about products, and the product providers has been more than anxious to celebrate the new opportunities to capture this new market. The feeding frenzy will continue for a while yet, but what happens when nearly every janitorial firm has added some Green products to their carts? The equalization factor kicks in, and nearly every janitorial firm will claim to be Green by self-acclamation, but has anything really changed?

Can Green program will not come from a new Green product. It comes from the practice of the janitorial crew that are often the missing piece to the Green program puzzle. the fallacy is that practice does not evolve out of a tool. It is obvious that you cannot become a great mechanic by purchasing a great set of tools. Neither will you suddenly become a great golfer because you bought a new set of golf clubs. A woman will not lose weight by buying a dress that is two size too small.

Going Green means you have a basic working knowledge of Green Practices as well as a new set of products on the cart. The workers are equally as important as the products being used. For example, does the working staff really understand that a microfiber can be used without chemicals? Do they use the "Spray and Wipe" routine instead of allowing for "Dwell Time" for the new product? Do they understand how to remove dust rather than just moving it?

In fact, there are hundreds of changes in a Green janitorial firm that are just as important as buying the latest Green product. Going Green is not passed automatically to the staff or by clandestine training. This is why most Green janitorial services are unintentional frauds that pursue profits above full Green conversion. This means that the Green status of little more than a Green facade that is proclaimed for the benefit of others rather than a full integration of a Green practice.

There is only one true Green Clean credential in the market today is the federal trademark offered by the Green Clean Institute. It is necessary to understand that the janitorial world is in transition from a "task oriented" business to a superior "service oriented" business. Janitorial services have new mandates, higher expectations, and are expected to provide Green program that will protect the safety, health, and future of all those who inhabit our buildings.

The word custodian has renewed meaning as we realize that we are expecting these often-ignored group to handle the challenges of our day and render services at a higher level than ever before. There is a charge to keep, a duty to render, and a lot at stake for any janitorial service in this new and Green age. Green janitor fraudsters are going to eventually hit the wall as questions of reliable performance are asked and evaluations become more common.

My recommendation is not to merely stick your toe into the Green program, but to embrace the program that is going to be around a very long time. I do not mean that you must run off to save the whales, sell your car for a bicycle, or chain yourself to a tree. We all know that Green is the direction of business, so take your firm Green by marketing yourself as Green, transitioning to Green products, and training your staff in a Green Clean certified program. A Green program has three pieces: A Green Agenda by decision-makers, inclusion of Green products, and the upgrading of the workforce to Green practices.
