In the fast-paced world of contract cleaning, where efficiency and effectiveness are essential, the environmental impact often takes a back seat. The routine use of conventional cleaning chemicals, laden with harmful toxins and pollutants, poses a significant challenge to the well-being of our planet.
In this blog, we will shed light on the pressing environmental challenges faced by the contract cleaning industry and explore some sustainable chemicals that are helping reduce the footprint of the cleaning industry.
What is the environmental risk of traditional cleaning products?
Before delving into sustainable alternatives, it’s crucial to understand the environmental issues associated with conventional cleaning chemicals. These problems include:
- Toxic Chemicals: Many traditional cleaning products contain harmful chemicals that can contaminate waterways and soil when disposed of improperly.
- Air Pollution: The use of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in cleaning agents can contribute to indoor air pollution, impacting the health of building occupants.
- Resource Depletion: The production of conventional cleaning chemicals often involves the depletion of non-renewable resources and excessive energy consumption.
- Packaging Waste: Traditional cleaning products frequently come in single-use plastic containers, contributing to plastic pollution.
Castle’s environmentally friendly cleaning product recommendations:
Fenton Eco Handwash
Using a wash which is too strong may be harmful to the skin long term. Your operatives and clients will need a suitable handwash as it is used frequently therefore it is important to have a safe and pleasant wash with a nice aroma. Fenton ECO French Lime & Basil Hand Wash: A luxury hand wash with a combination of French lime and basil extracts which use natural ingredients and are eco-friendly, these are perfect for thoroughly cleaning and moisturising hands.

To remove limescale buildup, you do not need to use extremely harsh chemicals or expensive cleaning products. We recommend the Bio D Eco-Friendly Limescale Remover. It uses a powerful, plant-based formulation, and can tackle limescale build-up on multiple surfaces, from taps and tiles to shower screens and sinks. A bonus is that all ingredients are 100% naturally derived.
