CleanCare uses eco-friendly cleaning products

CleanCare Cleaning prioritizes eco-friendly products to ensure safe, effective cleaning for Upperhill offices. These solutions minimize environmental impact while delivering professional results.​

Product Selection Criteria

CleanCare selects products certified as child- and pet-safe, free from harsh chemicals like ammonia, bleach, or phosphates. They focus on biodegradable formulas that break down naturally, reducing pollution in Nairobi's waterways. Common choices include plant-based detergents and concentrates that dilute for multiple uses, cutting waste.

Key Eco-Friendly Products Used

Our lineup features vetted, sustainable options tailored for office settings.

• Multi-Surface Cleaners: Plant-derived sprays like those with USDA biobased ingredients (over 75% plant content), EPA Safer Choice certified for low toxicity.​

• Carpet Extraction Solutions: Hot water extraction uses non-toxic, enzyme-based formulas that lift dirt without residues, drying in 2-4 hours.​

• Disinfectants and Wipes: Fragrance-free, Leaping Bunny cruelty-free options that kill germs on desks and restrooms using natural agents like citric acid.

• Floor Polishes: Biodegradable polishes for hard floors, avoiding volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that harm air quality.​

These align with global standards like GECA or Ecologo for verified eco-performance.​

Benefits in Office Cleaning

Eco-products enhance workplace health by reducing allergens and odors, ideal for Upperhill's air-conditioned spaces. They support sustainability goals, with refillable bottles slashing plastic use by up to 90%. Clients report no sticky residues or health complaints post-clean.

Implementation in Upperhill Services

Teams apply these during after-hours cleans, using microfiber tools to maximize efficiency without disposables. For example, a single concentrate replaces dozens of bottles, saving costs and emissions. This approach has earned 5-star feedback for "odour-free" results in local offices.​

Are eco-friendly cleaners safe for septic systems?

Septic systems depend on beneficial bacteria to break down waste, and eco-friendly cleaners avoid killing these microbes. They use biodegradable, non-toxic formulas free of harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia (in excess), phosphates, or antibacterial agents that disrupt the bacterial balance. Plant-based ingredients such as citric acid, vinegar, or enzymes break down naturally without clogging pipes or harming soil.

Safe Product Traits

Look for these features on labels to confirm septic compatibility.

• Biodegradable surfactants and phosphate-free composition.

• Water-based with natural disinfectants like hydrogen peroxide or essential oils.​

• Certifications like EPA Safer Choice or explicit "septic-safe" claims.​

Examples include brands like Ecover, Method, Bio-D, or plant-derived all-purpose cleaners.

Risks and Best Practices

Not all "green" products are equal—avoid those with synthetic dyes, heavy fragrances, or antibacterial properties, even if labeled eco-friendly. Use sparingly, especially drain cleaners, and never mix chemicals like bleach with ammonia. For CleanCare's office services, our child/pet-safe, enzyme-based solutions align with these standards, ensuring no residue issues even if discharged to septic systems in Upperhill facilities.

This keeps systems healthy, reducing pump-outs and contamination risks
