Look for products that are green certified by at least two certification organizations
Those trusted with cleaning healthcare facilities should look for products that are green certified by at least two certification organizations, according to an article on the McKnight's website.
One certification addresses green issues specifically and the other addressed concerns about indoor air quality and VOCs.
