Commitment to customers
On average, Americans spend about 90 percent of their days indoors. EPA studies indicate that human exposure to indoor air pollutants can be 2-5 times higher than outdoor levels, and poor indoor air quality can produce negative health effects. Ensuring good indoor air quality means combining building improvements with proper cleaning products and processes.
Recycled Products
We use high-quality products made with a sensible amount of recycled material. These higher-performing products allow for less product use overall, meaning less waste, less packaging, and less impact on the environment, without sacrificing results.
Green Equipment
We use equipment that meets green and LEED standards, including
Green Chemicals
We use numerous green chemical programs built around products, procedures, and equipment designed to reduce environmental impact while maintaining superior performance. Our program is built for cleaning that supports both health and the environment, and we can clean nearly every surface with a green product, with results on par with, and in some cases exceeding, traditional products.
The way we clean matters as much as the products we use. Our service process includes:
→ Cleaning techniques that promote efficient product use, including training on proper product amounts and wiping motion for specific tasks
→ Techniques that promote efficient electricity use, such as closing down lights in completed areas before moving to the next section, instead of running lights throughout the facility for an entire shift
→ Proper supply training, such as timing paper product and liner replacement so usable product isn’t discarded unnecessarily

What Is LEED?
LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, a point system awarded to buildings built and operated with environmental responsibility in mind. LEED for commercial spaces addresses the entire building, including the cleaning and maintenance process.
What Is LEED?
LEED-certified buildings benefit from government incentives, marketing advantages, and increased property values. LEED certification requires continuing education and ongoing commitment, and we look forward to helping clients work toward that goal. For clients not pursuing LEED certification, Townsend Maintenance can still implement a highly effective green cleaning program.
Do you offer green cleaning for businesses pursuing LEED certification?
Yes. We can play a major role in helping your property work toward LEED certification through our green cleaning products, equipment, and processes.
What makes your cleaning products "green"?
We use high-quality products made with a sensible amount of recycled material, chemical programs designed to reduce environmental impact, and equipment that meets green and LEED standards, including HEPA filtration vacuums and low-emission burnishers.
Will green cleaning products perform as well as traditional cleaning products?
Yes. Our green chemical programs are built to match or exceed the performance of traditional products, so you don’t have to trade cleaning quality for environmental responsibility.
Do we need to pursue LEED certification to benefit from your green cleaning program?
No. While we can support clients working toward LEED certification, we also implement effective green cleaning programs for clients who aren’t pursuing certification but still want an environmentally responsible cleaning partner.
Does green cleaning cost more than standard cleaning?
Green products and services have become significantly more affordable as demand has grown, and in many cases higher-performing green products mean less product is used overall, helping offset cost differences.
