Question: " I am interested in starting my own janitorial cleaning company.
After doing some research I think using environmentally safe products would be my best option.
Please, could you send me more information on this matter?
I would like to know where to purchase environmentally safe products, a list of safe products, and more information how to become certified.
Thank You Very Very Much!
"
Steve’s Answer:
I am delighted to hear that you are starting a janitorial company and will focus on “green”.
My simplest recommendations are for you to consider attending the Building Services Contractors Association International’s annual convention, especially if you are new to the industry. This I think would be very helpful to you and you can learn more about it at www.bscai.org.
The other simple thing is for you to purchase a copy of our book Green Cleaning for Dummies. It covers a host of issues from putting the program together, key groups to be aware of, who the early adopters are, etc. You can get it off of our website at www.AshkinGroup.com.
Take care,
Steve
