The Big Picture Commercial and industrial cleaning products can contain a brew of
toxic chemicals and can cause injury to those who use them, as well as
for anyone else in the products' breathing space. Janitors and building
maintenance workers cite safety as their number-one job concern.
Products safer for human users also are safer for the environment and
can replace more-toxic products.
Context Six out of every 100 janitors have lost-work time injuries each
year, including eye injuries or irritations, skin irritations or burns,
and respiratory problems resulting from the inhalation of chemical
fumes. The most dangerous cleaning products cause cancer, contribute to
global warming, or are ozone-depleting substances. Many commonly used
products can cause blindness, burn skin, interfere with the endocrine
system of humans and animals, and, through the skin or inhalation,
damage the kidneys, liver, developing fetuses, and the nervous system.
Other products may irritate the skin and eyes, degrade indoor air
quality, and add zinc or hydrocarbon to the building's sewage
discharge. Most businesses can reduce risk of injury from chemicals by
replacing the most dangerous cleaning products with safer ones, by
reducing the total number of chemicals used, and by following safety
measures. Environmental benefits are equally important, but for many
businesses, they are a secondary reason for using safer chemicals.
Key Players Federal and local governments are initiating pilot projects to test
and demonstrate the effectiveness of environmental cleaning products.
Results of these pilot projects can help businesses determine which
products to choose and how to implement the changeover. Product
vendors often can reformulate current products to reduce or eliminate
hazard chemicals. Cleaning products must meet standards in order to
label themselves "environmental." In the United States, that includes
meeting the requirements for labeling established by Green Seal;
accepted products can display the Green Seal label.
Getting Down to Business Commitment from management is essential in making the change from
conventional cleaning products to greener products. Businesses must
also educate users with on-site demonstrations and follow-up education.
Polaris Building Maintenance in California previously used more than
30 cleaning products, mainly petroleum-based. After working with its
vendors to reformulate the products, Polaris now uses 10 water-based
cleaning products. Polaris retrained its entire janitorial crew to work
with the reformulated products. Initially not all employees wanted to
change the products they used. However, company management strongly
supported the changeover, and in time the entire janitorial crew
adopted the new products. A Santa Clara County, Calif. project
worked with 47 maintenance contract organizations employing 6,800
janitors and custodians. Each year these workers use chemical products
that contained 400,000 pounds of hazardous materials. The project found
that by changing to safer chemicals, using fewer products, and
utilizing other techniques, the amount of hazardous materials could be
reduced by 131,000 pounds per year.
The Upside Worker safety can be greatly improved by using less-toxic cleaning products. Less
harmful impact on the environment. Traditional cleaning products
contribute to global warming, ozone depletion, and can add dangerous
chemicals to building sewage discharges.
Reality Check More effort required to clean. Many environmental products need more
surface exposure time in order to clean, requiring more effort from the
user. Workers may express initial resistance to switching
products. Thorough education is necessary to show users how to properly
use products. Generally, even though some environmental products may
require more effort to use, workers often embrace the safety aspect. Local
stores or product vendors often don't carry environmentally preferred
cleaning products because of the perception that these products carry a
lower profit margin or are in sufficient demand. Buyers may have to
investigate alternative sources of these products.
Action Plan Two segments of business can make use of environmental cleaning
products: janitorial and custodial contractors or building maintenance
workers; and manufacturers, which can implement more environmentally
benign cleaning practices in their manufacturing and clean-up
processes.
General facility cleaning product switchover requires: Commitment and support from management. Involvement of purchasing agents. Assessment of current chemical products - determine which should be
discontinued immediately, and which are less harmful to health and to
the environment. Replacement of high-toxic products with less-toxic ones - find
products without toxic chemicals, and with other environmental
attributes such as recycled packaging. Proper education of end-users on use of new products by qualified instructors. Reduced chemical use - clean only when needed, rather than by schedule, dilute toxic chemicals and use chemicals sparingly. Other cleaning reduction strategies - limit dirt entry into the building with cleanable floor mats, increase carpet vacuuming. Safety in storage and mixing of chemicals - don't store
incompatible chemicals near each other, wear safety goggles, rotate
stock, and follow all product safety measures.
Manufacturing cleaning processes action steps: Use aqueous cleaning, rather than solvent-based cleaning. The
wastewater discharge from aqueous cleaning must be properly disposed of
and/or treated. Use supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) cleaning
for precision cleaning applications in which parts have intricate
geometries or for applications in which parts are sensitive to water or
high temperature. High initial capital costs make this technology
prohibitive to most users.
