The Green Janitor Fraud

By: Michael Richmond

Everyone is "Going Green" because all it seems to take is the addition of a few Green products to meet the loose criteria for a Green janitorial service. Green programs do not come packaged in a bottle of Green cleaner. Yet, the many manufactures want us to believe that using their product makes our homes, offices, or janitorial services Green

Can Green program will not come from a new Green product. It comes from the practice of the janitorial crew that are often the missing piece to the Green program puzzle. the fallacy is that practice does not evolve out of a tool. It is obvious that you cannot become a great mechanic by purchasing a great set of tools. Neither will you suddenly become a great golfer because you bought a new set of golf clubs. A woman will not lose weight by buying a dress that is two size too small.

Going Green means you have a basic working knowledge of Green Practices as well as a new set of products on the cart. The workers are equally as important as the products being used. For example, does the working staff really understand that a microfiber can be used without chemicals? Do they use the "Spray and Wipe" routine instead of allowing for "Dwell Time" for the new product? Do they understand how to remove dust rather than just moving it?

There are hundreds of issues in HOW the Green janitorial firm is to perform their janitorial tasks that are as important as WHAT Green product happens to suddenly appear in the weekly supplies passed around. Going Green seems to be passed to the workers by osmosis and undefined training protocol. This, quite frankly, means that most Green janitorial services are well-intended frauds to the customers that they serve. Their Green status is little more than a false veneer that has little depth in the character of the people charged with carrying out the Green mandates being passed down to these ill-equipped workers.

Green Clean Institute offers the only true Green Clean training designed for the workers of your service. Why? In case you haven't noticed, the janitorial world is in transition from a "task oriented" program to a more demanding "service orientation." We expect more of these people of these workers because we now realize the impact of all a cleaning service has on the health, safety, and future of each of us.

A little study of the word custodian reveals that there is a serious contribution by these often ignored workers. The challenges of our generation creates an even greater duty than ever before. In this era of strain of our resources, new threats to our health, and new environmental legislation, the custodial duty is to protect our general health through a better working environment. The fraud being carried out by quasi-Green janitorial services will soon hit the wall when professionally evaluated.

I advise you not to simply stick you toe into the Green Clean program. It is he smart choice to realize that a Green program is a long term commitment to a new process. We are not talking about saving the whales, trading your car for a bicycle, or turning vegetarian. It is obvious that the Green movement is a permanent direction that places more emphasis on the health of the workers than the shine of the floor. Understand that a Green program has three important parts: Green Agenda by decision makers, Green Products, and Green Practices by the workforce. Isn't it time to truly "Go Green" rather than fake it?
