ACHIEVING GREEN GOALS
Sustainability continues to be a key priority within the cleaning industry, as companies are constantly on the lookout to cut down on their carbon-footprint. Here Matt Baines, of Jigsaw Cleaning Systems, explains its importance and how to get it right.
Sustainability isn’t just a buzz word; it’s vital to the future of the sector and is achievable by making small changes and following simple steps.
And, when it comes to cleaning products and practices, it is important to remember if you get it right at the beginning then the results will speak for themselves.
For many within the cleaning industry there could be various end goals which could be aimed at reducing the amounts of water, chemical or energy and become more efficient.
Planning, specifying and training are all key to achieving these sustainable results. The first action should be a full site visit. This should involve a review of the premises internally and externally, looking at the number of people passing through, quieter periods, current systems and any other challenges that may arise.
Experience shows that evaluating the site and the challenges which come with it means a strategic and tailored plan can be created. This is the best way of making sure that objectives and targets are achieved on a case-by- case basis every time.
When that plan is being created it is vital that the system developed addresses those issues in a way which

does not impact on the day-to-day running of the facilities.
It’s also important to keep in mind that green cleaning isn’t just about having systems in place which protect the environment, but they should also offer real benefits as well, including improved running and maintenance costs or the correct usage of products, for example chemicals, janitorial or machinery.
Training is also an essential part of ensuring new products are adopted and used effectively. And cleaners should always be involved in the decision-making process.
New equipment can have all the added features and innovation but if the cleaner is confused or feels uncomfortable with a piece of equipment then it is likely to be under used and the investment will have been wasted.
Of course in this day and age, innovation is crucial, which is why products which make the most out of materials designed to be both effective and efficient are becoming increasingly popular.
Sustainable materials are now more sought after than ever before and are something Jigsaw Cleaning Systems continue to bring to the marketplace.
As technology continues to advance, customers are seeing the benefit of using environmentally friendly products to achieve the best results, but the need for products and systems which ensure high performance and productivity must also recognise budget constraints.
It is therefore essential that any environmental solutions offered to our industry should recognise the need to match or improve existing standards.
Right now, there are a number of methods on the market relying on the use of products designed as a result of advances in technology, which can streamline hygiene processes, improve productivity and promote sustainability, if used effectively.
For example, machines which offer longer run times and more manoeuvrability can help organisations achieve their sustainability goals.
When it is added together, the methods, combined with improved materials and technology add up to a sustainable cleaning regime for the future.
