Green Cleaning and a sustainable environment

 

 

 

Potomac ServiceLink’s size, experience and commitment to excellence can solve many of the environmental challenges facing property and building management in the 21st Century. These challenges include ensuring the health and safety of each property and its tenants, solving the “Green” equation and decreasing our environmental footprint for future generations are in the news daily and on the forefront of the American consciousness. Due to working longer hours, American workers are spending more time inside than ever before. Poor Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is causing an increase in respiratory illnesses such as asthma; is linked to some forms of cancer; and a decrease in personnel performance because of increased sick leave, dizziness and lack of concentration.

 

Potomac ServiceLink’s Global Care Program was designed to address these challenges with a solution that will create healthy work environments for your occupants. Potomac ServiceLink’s Global Care Program is a commitment to purchase and use cleaning products and methods that are designed to minimize any negative impact on public health and the environment

 

Potomac ServiceLink’s Global Care Program includes the use of chemicals and equipment that either meet or exceed the EPA’s published guidelines, or have been certified as environmentally preferable by leading independent organizations such as Green Seal and The Carpet and Rug Institute. We have implemented Best in Class Practices such as Systematic Team Cleaning for accomplishing all janitorial functions

Consumables

 

 

 

Choosing the appropriate consumables to perform any janitorial function is the key to a successful program. Red Coats, Inc. has partnered with the global leaders in chemicals, Johnson Wax Professional (JWP), and paper goods, Kimberly-Clark Professional (KC).

JWP has been the leading manufacturer of cleaning products for over 100 years. Its history of environmental stewardship is well documented and unmatched. The company has created an entire portfolio of Green Seal certified products that are dispensed via the most environmentally conscious dilution control platform in the industry. Called RTD (Ready to Dispense), the program ensures quality and cost containment. KC has developed its leadership position in the marketplace by providing paper goods that meet EPA standards as well as offering the highest quality. High quality, better performing products allow users to use less which means less waste and less impact on the environment.

 

 

EQUIPMENT

 

 

 

 

 

Potomac ServiceLink has committed to using the latest innovation and technology in the Janitorial Industry by partnering with Unger (non-electrical equipment) and ProTeam (vacuum). Unger’s SmartColor Cleaning System combines a color coded system coupled with a Dual Bucket which separates dirty from clean water. This allows Potomac ServiceLink to offer a cutting edge solution resulting in improved hygiene, reduced risk, high-quality service and cleaner facilities.
