WHY CHEMICAL SOLUTIONS?
We’ve come to take chemical cleaning solutions for granted, mostly because many of them do exactly as they say – cut right through dirt, grease and grime like a sharp blade, and get the job done in record time. But, what if the same results could be had with an eco-friendly alternative?
That’s the question many are pondering as we move away from old school chemical solutions, many of which can cause skin irritations and other allergic reactions, not to mention respiratory issues, and an overall damaging yield on the surrounding environment. No wonder many companies are now starting to move away from these old base solutions in favor of kinder, gentler, and greener alternatives.
WHY GO ECO?
The biggest roadblock against eco-friendly solutions of any kind is a drop in quality or comparable promise. Yes, going green is fantastic, but most people aren’t ready to make the switch if it means subpar performance, or a hindrance to their everyday lifestyle. Cleaning solutions are no different, but a lot has changed in recent years.
Today’s eco-friendly cleaning solutions are antimicrobial in nature, and capable of cleaning and disinfecting just fine on their own. That being said, there is still a need for traditional chemical solutions in some cases, particularly where stubborn grit, dirt and grime are concerned. Expect that to change as more R&D is put into eco-friendly product lines, which will no doubt meet or surpass their harsh chemical counterparts.
THE ADVANTAGE FOR WINDOWS
When it comes to eco-friendly window cleaning solutions, there are many options available, and they are now in wide use by professional cleaning companies working on today’s commercial and residential properties. These include:
- Plant-based and enzyme cleaners that utilize nature’s own materials, which are biodegradable and non-toxic.
- Biodegradable cleaning pads made of bamboo or coconut fibers, which break down naturally after use.
- Eco-friendly squeegees and tools made of recyclable or sustainable materials, which reduce environmental impact.
- Rainwater harvesting systems that reduce reliance on tap water.
These are just a few of the revolutionary new eco-friendly cleaning products that are available today, and professional window cleaning companies like we here at Toronto Window Cleaners are already ahead of the game. These are foundational products that will allow for the development of even more effective and environmentally friendly offerings, and we are proud to be “early adopters” who help drive momentum.
THE PROFESSIONAL TOUCH
While eco-friendly cleaning products are all the rage right now, only the professionals possess the experience and knowledge necessary to use them at their full potential. For that reason, we always recommend letting us come to your location to perform a thorough window cleaning that will be done correctly, the first time round.
The advantages of a professional window cleaning team don’t stop there, however. While working to clean your windows to shimmering brilliance, we’ll also inspect your sills, seals and frames to make sure that any damages are assessed right away, before they require costly repairs down the road. All this, while reducing our environmental impact, and giving your company another reason to be proud of its forward-thinking initiatives.
