Just caught an article in FacilitiesNet on Greenguard Environmental Institute and it's indoor air quality certification programs, offering guidance to facility managers and others.
We've just implemented such a program - JonhsonDiversey's "Healthy High Performance Cleaning", certified for indoor air quality by Greenguard. Our crews have all been trained, checked and certified, as has our training program; we are now beginning to certify individual client buildings (we provide janitorial service in Phoenix AZ).
As far as I know, it's the only third party certification program available that focuses on IAQ, and the health and safety impacts of day to day commercial cleaning. There are definite performance advantages to having someone "looking over our shoulder".
A bit about us:
My firm, CBN Building Maintenance, provides commercial cleaning services in Phoenix AZ and the wider metro area. We've been in business since 1974; hold the BBB's A-plus rating; and have long been in the forefront of the industry in environmentally sensitive cleaning for health, safety and security. Our program can generally improve Indoor Air Quality, in the size range of most allergens, by a factor of 50%, as reflected in our ongoing IAQ sampling.
