How do you reduce water use on site?

Microfibre systems use a fraction of the water of traditional mop-and-bucket methods and are changed between zones rather than rinsed and reused, which cuts both water use and cross-contamination. Machine scrubbers are dosed to the floor area rather than filled by habit. External washing is scheduled with the weather and to the trade waste rules of the local council, so runoff is managed rather than sent to a stormwater drain.

Does using greener products mean a lower standard of clean?

No, and if it did we would not use them. Environmentally preferable products have improved enormously, and for the great majority of commercial cleaning tasks floors, glass, general surfaces, washrooms they perform as well as conventional chemicals when they are dosed correctly and given the right dwell time.

The difference usually comes down to technique rather than chemistry. Most complaints about green products trace back to under-dosing or rushing the job, not the product itself. That is a training and supervision issue, and it is ours to manage.

Are your products certified under Environmental Choice New Zealand?

Environmental Choice New Zealand is the country's official ecolabel and the certification most New Zealand procurement teams look for when they assess cleaning suppliers.

We will confirm in writing which of the products proposed for your site carry Environmental Choice New Zealand certification, and supply the certificates, as part of any quote or tender response. Where a product we recommend is not certified, we will tell you why it is being used rather than leave it unstated.

How does cleaning affect our carbon footprint?

Less than most people assume, but not nothing, and the levers are practical. We buy concentrates rather than pre-diluted product, so we are not freighting water around the country. We plan routes and rosters to cut unnecessary travel between sites. We maintain equipment so it runs efficiently and lasts, instead of replacing it early.

With New Zealand's 2050 net-zero target legislated under the Climate Change Response (Zero Carbon) Amendment Act 2019, more clients are asking their suppliers to account for this. We would rather show you the specific choices we make than quote you a headline number.

Can you give us waste and recycling data for our sustainability reporting?

Yes. Where we manage your waste stream we separate at source and report on what is diverted from landfill, which supports council waste minimisation targets under the Waste Minimisation Act 2008 and gives you numbers you can put into your own reporting.

What is achievable depends on what your council and waste operator actually collect in your area kerbside and commercial recycling differ markedly between Auckland, Wellington and the smaller centres. We will tell you honestly what is divertible at your site rather than promise a rate we cannot hit.

What cleaning products do you use, and are they safe for our staff?

We use low-toxicity, environmentally preferable products wherever the site allows, dosed through controlled dilution systems so the concentration is right every time and nothing is over-poured. Safety data sheets for every chemical on your site are held on file and available to you on request, as required under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015.

Where a site needs a stronger product for genuine hygiene reasons a medical practice, an early learning centre, a commercial kitchen hygiene wins. We will not compromise infection control to make an environmental claim look better.

We make the visible invisible - Just Cleaned it.
