Chemicals: Using Multi-Purpose Cleaners to Achieve LEED Gold

Company Website

CityFlats Hotel has achieved LEED Gold Certification from the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System. The first hotel in the Midwest to achieve the prestigious certification, CityFlats carefully selects its partners, including P&G Professional, to uphold its commitment to sustainability.
 
"We're excited to be on the forefront of fostering sustainable hotels," says David Wilsey, CityFlats General Manger. "Our focus is to provide unique, one-of-a-kind experiences for our guests, while keeping our environmental impact to a minimum."
 
Employing environmentally-preferred cleaning products — designed to work effectively while minimizing their environmental footprint in their manufacture, use and disposal — is a key requirement of LEED certification. To meet their green cleaning needs, CityFlats selected the Procter & Gamble Professional Line products, including the "Trusted Trio" of Spic and Span 3 in 1 All Purpose Cleaner,  Comet Bathroom Cleaner and Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.
 
"P&G Professional products perform exceptionally well for multi-purpose cleaning. We're able to do most of our work with just three products, compared to other systems that use five or more. This helps reduce the amount of product we have to ship, use and recycle," says Wilsey.
 
"We're excited to work with CityFlats and applaud them on their commitment to environmental protection," says Chris Vuturo, title, P&G Professional. "P&G Professional shares this mission and is constantly working to provide high-performing cleaning solutions with limited environmental impacts."
 
LEED is a nationally-recognized benchmark providing independent, third-party verification that a building is an environmentally-responsible, profitable and healthy place to live and work. Located in downtown Holland, CityFlats excels in water and energy efficiency initiatives, using 30 percent less water than baseline standards.  In addition, the hotel's seating and décor was designed locally and manufactured using rapidly-renewable materials.
