DIY tips for your office

Here’s some simple, yet effective tips for going green at work by saving energy, preventing pollution, conserving natural resources and reducing landfill.

Whether you plan to utilize these practices in your office or your home, you will be delighted to know that going green is easier than you think. Creating a greener facility will result in a healthier and more productive work place, decreased pollution, increased employee retention, and it can significantly help your bottom line.

Lets start with the lighting

Did you know that a switch from a traditional light bulb to energy efficient fluorescent bulb is very inexpensive and simple, yet very eco friendly and cost effective? You will save in your energy consumption, contributing to lessen the impact on global warming, and you will not have to replace your light bulb nearly as often.

Don’t take our word for it. Ask your IT professional.

We all know, because we all used to do it, that there are many computers that stay turned on after hours. This alone is contributing to about one ton of carbon emissions each year per each computer left running non-stop.

If you are going to be away from your computer for less than 25 minutes, please put it to ‘sleep mode’. This will reduce its power consumption by 95%.

Little by little, you will save approximately $60 per year per computer just by following these easy steps.

Recycle

It is our policy to assist any business that wants to take part in our free recycling program. Now days, you can recycle almost everything that an average office uses in its course of business. Some of the most obvious items are aluminum cans, copy paper, printer cartridges, and glass bottles. However, recycling does not stop there. We will provide you with the entire list of items that can be remanufactured and used over and over again.

Thinking about air purifiers?

Think green and think natural. Indoor plants are natural source of fresh air.  They purify air around us absorbing airborne pollutants and radiation from computers. Moreover, they create positive atmosphere and look great. All they ask for is regular watering.  

Lets talk about your current cleaning crew

They are hard working individuals who make sure that you come to a clean office. That is exactly the way we do things. This becomes a problem if they are using strong toxic chemicals to achieve their objective, if they are dumping used pollutants down the drain, and if they are using anything less than the best HEPA vacuum cleaners.

Milano Cleaning Services, Inc. will make sure that your office is cleaned with ‘green’ products only as well as HEPA vacuums and approved HEPA filters. We will assign a quality control manager to every account to ensure excellent customer service. This practice alone accounts for 99% customer satisfaction.
