Thinking about implementing a green program? One of the first steps to green cleaning is switching to green products. There are several options to choose from – ready to use, concentrates and dilution control.

READY TO USE
Great for convenient green cleaning, these products are ready to go – no mixing required. However, purchasing these products means you’re also purchasing a lot of water (typically 95-99.99% of the product), the shipping costs/fossil fuels needed to transport it…and since they’re a “use once and done” product, you’re purchasing a lot of unneeded packaging, as well.

CONCENTRATES
Concentrates eliminate the unnecessary water, packaging and other associated monetary and environmental costs of ready-to-use products. However, what if you use more product than needed? People tend to have a “glug-glug mentality” and often think more is better. That’s not always the case with cleaners, and “glugging” is just pouring money down the drain.

DILUTION CONTROL
Using highly-concentrated products through a dilution control system is the future of green cleaning. These systems also help consolidate purchases, standardize cleaning operations and reduce usage.
