SECTOR-BY-SECTOR

What Each Sector Should Prioritise

Hospitality

Hotels & Resorts

Strong chemical smell in guest rooms and lobbies directly hurts review scores. Choose low-VOC, low-fragrance certified multi-surface cleaners, and make sure housekeeping staff are trained on correct dilution — the product choice alone isn't enough.

Corporate

Offices

Staff are present all day, so indoor air quality matters. Avoid high-VOC cleaners. Where a building follows a green-building framework, confirm its current procurement and credit requirements with the project team before selecting a product.

Healthcare

Hospitals

Safety and disinfection effectiveness both matter — "green" alone isn't sufficient. Choose products that are both certified and tested against your facility's infection-control protocol.

Education

Schools

Children have higher skin and respiratory sensitivity. Prioritise low-pH, low-VOC, fragrance-free formulations wherever possible.

GENERAL CHECKLIST

Before You Switch Suppliers

  • Ask for the certificate number, applicable product scope and validity dates, then verify current status through the relevant official listing.
  • Request the dilution ratio and technical data sheet (TDS) for each product.
  • Confirm whether the supplier provides staff training support for correct usage.
  • Start with a small trial batch in one area before switching the entire facility.
