Frequently Asked Questions

TBM Green uses exclusively Green Seal certified and EPA Safer Choice cleaning products. These products meet rigorous environmental and health standards while delivering exceptional cleaning results. We've been committed to sustainable cleaning practices since 2007, long before green cleaning became mainstream.

Green Seal is an independent non-profit organization that certifies products meeting strict environmental standards. Products must demonstrate reduced toxicity, biodegradability, responsible packaging, and effective performance. When you see Green Seal certification, you know the product has been independently verified as environmentally preferable.

Absolutely. Modern green cleaning products are formulated to match or exceed the performance of traditional cleaners. The difference is they achieve results without harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, or toxic ingredients. Many clients report that their facilities look cleaner and smell fresher with green products.

Traditional cleaning products release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that linger in indoor air for hours or days. Green products have minimal VOCs, reducing respiratory irritation and creating healthier indoor environments. This is especially important in buildings where people spend extended time.
