Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is being certified? Is it my company, my employees, or is it specific to the locations we clean?
Green Seal is certifying your green cleaning program, which we define as the products you use, how you train your employees, how you communicate with your clients, and how you develop site-specific cleaning operations plans. Green Seal tracks the locations where you implement your green cleaning program. After the successful completion of the certification evaluation, your company is licensed to use the Green Seal-certification mark in conjunction with your green cleaning program.
How Does the Certification Process Work?
The evaluation process is collaborative. Our Certification and Customer Success teams will help you onboard. Then, you will have a dedicated Certification Project Manager to guide you through the evaluation, and you will be able to submit your documentation through a user-friendly online portal. The process culminates with an on-site review, which focuses on verifying quality assurance and helping you identify additional strategies to increase efficiency in your operations.
