renewable cleaning case study Renewable Cleaning Defined A consortium of eco-conscious cleaning technologies. R Renewable cleaning is the removal, inacti-vation and/or proper disposal of contami-nants, pollutants, pathogens and chemical residues to restore built or indoor environ-ments to their original or desired condition. Water (H 2 O) is the archetype, basis and symbol of renewable cleaning because it is a universal resource that is benign, non-polluting and renewable — i.e., it can be naturally replenished. Renewable cleaning integrates the nat-ural laws of physics, the dynamics of mat-ter flow and other scientific principles to optimize the neutralization and removal of soils. Renewable cleaning connects with renewable energy and the concept of reduce, reuse and recycle because it minimizes resource waste and fosters a cradle-to-cradle approach. Because renewable cleaning describes a process, concept or philosophy rather than a technology, brand or product, facil-ities, professional cleaners and end-users can embrace the concept of renewable cleaning without necessarily embracing a product, manufacturer or brand.
