Green Cleaning Schools Act Goes into Effect this Week in Illinois!

This act makes Illinois the second state in the nation to require schools to use green cleaning products.

How schools are cleaned and the products that are used can significantly affect the health and performance of students, administrators and cleaning staff. Choices in cleaning products, equipment and procedures also affect the lifespan of building materials and furnishings. The Green Clean Schools Act will ensure that Illinois schools are providing healthier and safer environments for students and staff while also preserving the environment.
