"The Janitorial Store has provided me with tons of guidance.
Using the strategies have helped with my professional image and overall
knowledge of the industry. Using the Bidding and Estimating Ebook, I've learned
the proper way to bid and landed my first two contracts, which pay about $1600
per month. Thanks TJS"

it's the best! Thank you!"

to thank you for your great job. I don't know why it took me years to join The

Green Cleaning & LEED

Green Cleaning and LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
Have you heard the term "green cleaning" but just aren't quite sure what it means to your cleaning business? Green cleaning is no longer the exception, but is growing in popularity and more and more businesses are asking their cleaning contractors to use "green" cleaning products and techniques. Green cleaning is not only better for the environment, but also creates a healthier workplace for employees, students and business visitors.
There is more to green cleaning than buying and environmentally friendly cleaning chemicals. Green cleaning is a whole system of cleaning that not only uses "less" toxic chemicals, but also different types of equipment, such as vacuums with hepa filters, and different techniques that decrease the amount of chemicals needed in the cleaning process.
The articles in our Green Cleaning section will help you to understand the actual process of green cleaning as well as knowing how to choose the best equipment and products to use for green cleaning whether it is in a residential or commercial situation.
