By: Mike Sawchuk A Colony Of T The world of green cleaning is rapidly evolving. Facilities that are cleaned using environmentally preferable products are also becoming more sus-tainable, ensuring that natural resources are used as little as possible and, when used, as efficiently as possible.

Not only are many now proven green by third-party certification bodies like Green Seal Inc., UL Environment’s EcoLogo Program or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Design Mike Sawchuk has been involved with the green and professional cleaning indus-tries for more than 20 years.
