Green Cleaning Program
ESF launched its formal Green Cleaning Program in March 2020, although the College was already following many green cleaning practices prior to that time.
This program recognizes the importance of maintaining a clean, healthy, and safe built environment while simultaneously minimizing the impact of cleaning products and processes on building occupants and custodial employees.
The program contains sustainability criteria for general cleaning, hard surface disinfectants/sanitizers, floor finishes/removers, hand cleaners and soaps, disposable paper products, and trash bags. It also includes an approved product list and sets target performance metrics for various categories.

The Office of Sustainability works closely with the Office of Sustainable Facilities and Operations and Environmental Health and Safety Services to ensure that each of our campuses is maximizing their purchase and use of green cleaning products.
