Green Cleaning“We are trusted to create clean and sanitary work environments, resulting in improved employee morale and good impressions by visitors. Further, it is our responsibility as good stewards to minimize any negative environmental impact.” For years, DeWhit has stood behind that statement made by President Charles Whitner many years ago by being fully committed to the practice of "Green Cleaning". This practice has created healthier work environments and reduced the impact of chemicals on the environment. Furthermore, DeWhit has been able to create and implement Green Cleaning Programs that go beyond chemical and equipment choices. These programs include policies, procedures, training, and shared responsibility efforts that minimize the impact of cleaning materials on the health of building occupants and protect the environment. DeWhit’s “Green Cleaning Program” employs practices and products certified by Green Seal. Green Seal is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to safeguarding the environment and transforming the marketplace by promoting the manufacturing, purchasing, and use of environmentally responsible products. They certify hundreds of products using credible, science–based, and transparent standards for the protection of people and the environment.
