Clean World USA

Green Janitorial CertificationThe Green Clean Institute is pleased to announce one of the first Gold level - Green Clean Institute Certified firms in the country.  Clean world USA has received the Gold Certification from the Green Clean Institute, which is the highest level of Green Certification that a Janitorial firm can receive.  They are located in the North Carolina area and are a large corporation that has made tremendous strides on developing a Green program in their company.  Getting a Gold certification requires more than just token effort, it requires janitorial firms to educate, and implement green techniques and practices to their operations.

To give you a little background on Clean World USA, they began September 1986 as a carpet cleaning company called Carpet Care Specialists, Inc. In 1990, the company expanded into the janitorial services market and began cleaning commercial and industrial facilities. The Temp Clean division was opened in 1994, allowing the company to expand into the temporary help services industry. In 1999 the company opened the International Cleaning and Training Institute. To better represent the growth and changes in the company, the company was restructured and renamed Clean World USA LLC in 2001. Clean World USA now consists of a full service janitorial and facilities maintenance company - CCS of South Carolina, Inc., a full service training school - International Cleaning and Training Institute, as well as Carpet Care Specialists, Inc., cleaning residential and commercial carpet.

Some of the Green techniques and products that Clean World USA is using are Microfiber clothes which are hypoallergenic, non-electrostatic, and environmentally friendly. They are replacing the traditional window cleaners with one that has no solvents, a detergent, or soap-based cleaner that produces fewer vapors. Instead of using phosphates which are found in most detergents and soaps they now use Bio-safe products, which break down into inert or environmentally safe compounds once released into the environment.   Also they are now using vacuums that have HEPA filters.  These are only some of the green practices that Clean World USA is using, but those minor changes are making a big difference in their organization.

The Green Clean Institute applauds Clean World USA for all of their hard work and dedication to become a Certified Green Clean firm.  We believe that a Green certification is earned, not bought.

They are a prime example of how a company can successfully implement a Green program and become certified which only adds value to your company.
