With the rash of Green programs, it might help to realize that there might be a difference between Green Clean and Cleaning Green. They sound alike, but they have come to infer two different approaches to the Green process. Green Clean is a kind of self-appointed title that basically says, “We’ve included some Green products.” Janitorial services are playing games with the public because adding Green items to the cleaning cart is not the full expectations of the Green Office program.

What is the real value of an almost fictional Green Clean certification? Janitorial services need to build their credibility and stand out from the competition. Cheap credentials will not help your firm, and that is why Green Clean Institute (www.greencleaninstitute.com) was formed in 2005. Our goal is to provide a true certification that will stand as solid proof of your Green janitorial program.

To be a Green Clean firm, you must put some time in training and education. You will be more than a task-oriented worker, but a trained technician. Things are changing in the janitorial world, and it goes well beyond a mop and bucket or taking out the trash. This is becoming a service oriented project meaning you know what you’re doing. Yes, we need to step up to a better service. Fortunately, this is not difficult, but is will take some effort.

There are many new mandates coming down that place new and important changes in the old process of cleaning. Green cleaning is the combination of Green products and Green practices. This means we all must raise our standard of service to fulfill the Green demands by corporations and the government. In the future, you will not be able to fake being Green as now. It will be a different type of business.

You will find that only the Green Clean Institute offers a true Green janitorial certification. You can’t buy it because there is a modest education requirement, and it will take a few hours of your week to complete your education. Nonetheless, your firm can earn the only federal trademark certification available to janitorial services. Firm certification can be included in your bids and quotes. Your service is vouched for by a true third party educational source.

You will feel a source of pride and value in your Green Clean certification. You will be more than pleased when a close bid goes to your firm. We are seeing more corporations and government facilities asking for Green certified services. In fact, some firms must choose a Green Clean certified firm over non-Green certified firms. It is a pretty wonderful event to pick up a piece of business because you deserve it.

Your Green Clean certification actually become more valuable year after year. One good job can more than pay for this certification, and the work required to earn your credential is not that difficult. Regardless of your years in the business, everyone seems to learn a lot from our courses. In fact, they are available in a download for quick access, and the program is affordable.

Green Clean Institute believes that all janitorial and cleaning services need to have Green Clean Technicians to honestly claim to be a Green Clean Janitorial service. Being a janitor is not enough in this new, Green economy. Being a Green Clean Technician is the first step to an honest Green Clean business.
