  4. Think about it… What do we want from our cleaning products? Asthma Headaches/Migraines Reproductive Disorders Eye and Organ Damage Dizziness & Fatigue
  5. Think about it… What do we want from our cleaning products? Remove the contaminant (including odors), bring back clean look and feel to surface Kill bacteria or fungi – to various levels depending on application Protect surface (e.g. floor wax) Minimize time & effort Affordable
  6. Myth Busters GCs are too expensive GCs are cost competitive. You may just need to think in terms of dilution ratios…. GCs don’t work GCs do work. Ask around; check out the case studies. Try more than one to find the best fit for your application. It’s too hard to change Help is available. Free manufacturer/vendor training and support materials SF Online Green Cleaning Training Videos (3 languages)
  7. Implementation Strategies Have an open discussion with all stakeholder representatives Consider before/after surveys Do site audits with product vendors and janitorial staff to “right-fit” green products Ensure new product training happens Have an open mind when problem-solving Have some patience if it takes more than one try to find the best green product for your application – it will be worth it
  8. Why it Matters Using green cleaners vs. conventional cleaners: Reduces asthma and other health risks to janitorial workers and building occupants Plays a role in improving student learning; worker productivity Reduces environmental pollution Meets LEED O+M requirements A (previously) suffering occupant will thank you for changing! All while still meeting cleaning and budget objectives

  10. The Vendors Speak!
  11. Why buy “Green Products”? Why give blood? Why save gas? Why wear seatbelts? Why recycle? Why wear safety glasses? Why save water? Why drive on the right side of the road? Waxie Sanitary Supply October 2013 MM
  12. WHY? WHY? WHY? Money – yours, mine and ours. Using the contract saves money. Health – yours, mine and ours. Using the products on contract reduces substantially the exposure of cleaners and building occupants to chemicals that can cause harm. Time – which is of course money and is yours mine and ours. The products on contract are in general the most efficient products available. (Efficiency is a very important consideration of green.) Prognostication – predicting future events based on facts, signs, past experience or other divining device. If you don’t you will be in the same boat or without about like the people on the next slide. Waxie Sanitary Supply October 2013 MM
  13. Oh what difference does it make? Remember this? People thought there were no consequences to their actions and inaction. Waxie Sanitary Supply October 2013 MM
  14. What’s in it for you to go through the excruciating pain associated with change? In 90 days your done. Everything is changed and you no longer have to worry about Wendy. In 180 days you start to realize you are under budget. (Almost always) Now you can buy the good tissues!!!!!! (Yes there are good green tissues) In none months you can’t remember what all the fuss was about. In one year you are operating as an expert in the field for all those departments not as smart as yours. Waxie Sanitary Supply October 2013 MM
