Executive Building Maintenance, Inc.
EBM, Inc., as Cleaning Professionals, in the effort of protecting and improving the indoor environment, feel we have the responsibility to
disseminate information to those who can positively impact the indoor environment. For this reason we designed a High Performance Healthy
Cleaning Inspection to provide the background, details, and steps to meet the company cleaning guidelines. We understand the impact cleaning
has on the environment, both indoors and outdoors, plus the importance of a monitored cleaning program.
For that reason EBM has chosen to use environmentally preferable products and services, that are those which "have a lesser or reduced effect
on human health and the environment when compared to other products and services that serve the same purpose." (Executive Order 13101)
For more information on this topic you may also want to consult existing environmental standards or guidelines that have been developed by a
variety of government and non-government organizations. Programs like the EPP (Environmentally Preferable Purchasing from the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency who has been working with the National Institute for Standards and Technology.
