When most people hear “green cleaning,” they think of eco-friendly chemicals. While that’s definitely part of it, true green cleaning goes far beyond products—it’s about creating healthier spaces for people and the planet. At SmartClean®, we combine advanced methods, innovative equipment, and sustainable practices to provide a superior cleaning experience for businesses across Des Moines, IA.
What Green Cleaning Really Means
Green cleaning goes beyond simply choosing eco-friendly chemicals. It’s about how you clean, the tools you use, and the overall impact your cleaning practices have on people and the environment. At SmartClean®, we take a holistic approach, combining innovative equipment, sustainable methods, and trained professionals to create spaces that are not only spotless but also healthier and safer.
For example, our cleaning equipment operates at 70 decibels or less, which is about the highest noise level the human ear can comfortably tolerate. In practical terms, this means your employees and customers can work, learn, or relax without being disrupted by loud machinery. Quiet, efficient cleaning helps maintain a productive and pleasant environment—something traditional equipment often fails to achieve.
Our machines are also equipped with HEPA filters, which capture fine particles, dust, and allergens, significantly improving indoor air quality. On top of that, the eco-mode setting uses less water without compromising cleaning power, reducing waste while maintaining the same high standards of cleanliness.
By focusing on efficiency, sustainability, and human comfort, our green cleaning methods show that you don’t have to choose between effective cleaning and environmental responsibility—you can have both. It’s not just about keeping spaces clean; it’s about creating environments that are safer for your employees, visitors, and the planet.
Certifications That Set Us Apart
At SmartClean®, our commitment to green cleaning isn’t just a promise—it’s verified through industry-leading certifications that show our dedication to quality, safety, and sustainability. We are proud to be Iowa’s only CIMS-GBAC-GB certified cleaning company, a distinction that sets us apart from other providers in the region.
So, what do these certifications actually mean for you and your facility?
-
CIMS Certification (Cleaning Industry Management Standard): This ensures that our cleaning practices, management systems, and quality control procedures meet the highest standards in the industry. It’s a rigorous evaluation of everything from staff training and safety protocols to operational efficiency and environmental responsibility.
-
GBAC-GB Certification (Global Biorisk Advisory Council – Green Building): This takes our commitment even further. Achieving GBAC-GB certification requires frequent equipment inspections, performance testing, and comprehensive staff training. It also ensures our cleaning practices follow best-in-class environmental and sustainability standards, reducing both waste and energy consumption while maintaining top-notch results.
These certifications aren’t just paperwork—they’re proof that every facility we clean receives consistent, professional, and environmentally responsible service. From offices and schools to medical and industrial spaces, our certified approach ensures that your environment is safer, cleaner, and healthier for everyone who walks through the door.
Choosing a certified green cleaning provider like SmartClean® means you’re not only investing in cleanliness—you’re investing in the health and safety of your employees, customers, and community.
