Capital green cleaning
June 23rd 2008

Commercial cleaning company, ICS, is launching its eco friendly office and commercial cleaning services across London and South East England.

"To overcome the view that switching to anything green comes at a cost,we have to equal or outdo conventional cleaning companies on price and service," says md,Gerald Daniels."Many of our clients have chosen us because of our environmental focus and ability to deliver a great service within their budget.We work for Endemol UK and various other media companies and charities." Particular concerns for ICS are the widespread use of toxic and harmful cleaning chemicals and their adverse impact on health and the environment; unnecessary wastage and packaging, such as non biodegradable plastic cleaning containers and bin liners; the lack of choice of green cleaning consumable items; and emissions created by delivering cleaning stores and managing sites.

ICS has tackled these concerns by maintaining its 'clean and green' ethic across all areas of business. ICS uses cleaning products formulated from natural plant extracts, which are biodegradable, smell fresh and are environmentally and people friendly. Employees are trained to be environmentally conscious in the workplace, refillable cleaning containers are used, any waste is placed in biodegradable bin liners and, wherever possible,waste and materials are reduced or recycled.
