Green Cleaning: It's Our Obligation

Company Website

Peace Maintenance, based in Ottawa, Canada, is on the fast track. Providing cleaning services for clients in both Canada and the United States, the company has been growing steadily for several years.

One reason the firm has been on an upward spiral, according to its vice president, Nick Lazaris, is that it started transferring from conventional to green cleaning products several years ago.

“[When we started], hardly any cleaning contractors used environmentally preferable cleaning products,” he says. “But now many customers require that they be used. Because we were already using them, it put us way ahead of many of our competitors.”

Lazaris adds that using green products has helped professionalize his company and keep them on the cutting edge of cleaning technologies. And to ensure that the environmentally preferable products he selects are not only green but proven effective, he purchases cleaning chemicals from Enviro-Solutions.

Unlike all the green newbies — new to green cleaning and green technology—Enviro-Solutions has been manufacturing only green cleaning products for about 15 years. The company has spent the time and money to listen to their end customers’ needs and develop products that are not only environmentally responsible but effective as well.

In fact, most of Enviro-Solutions’ products have been tested, evaluated, and are now certified by EcoLogo™ and/or Green Seal®, the leading green-certification organizations in the world, as well as the Carpet and Rug Institute.

“I believe we have an obligation to our customers to always improve our services,” says Lazaris. “We do this by training workers, selecting the most effective cleaning equipment, and using proven, certified cleaning chemicals, such as those from Enviro-Solutions.”
