Does using more cleaning products necessarily ensure better hygiene? How much chemical is actually consumed during cleaning processes? And how corrosive or irritating can a cleaning chemical be to people and surfaces?
Many commercial cleaning products are formulated with strong chemical ingredients designed to work quickly. They often contain abrasive surfactants, foaming agents, synthetic fragrances, and coloring additives to create a “premium” cleaning experience—yet these are also common triggers of allergic reactions.
As technology evolves, so do cleaning solutions. With sustainability becoming increasingly important, organisations are taking action to reduce their environmental impact. Now is the time to reconsider what makes a cleaning chemical truly safe for both people and the planet.
SURE—Diversey’s 100% plant-based cleaning product line—is developed to deliver effective cleaning while eliminating unnecessary chemical exposure.
At Glowex, our philosophy is simple: less is more. Guided by field experience and real customer feedback, we analyze each facility’s operations, staff workflows, and cleaning time to design simple and practical solutions.
Using this insight, we create lean and effective cleaning programs with minimal product variety. By leveraging our advanced chemical expertise and validated results from pilot cleaning applications, Glowex can reduce product complexity within existing cleaning protocols by 30–40%, resulting in a measurable reduction in indoor chemical usage.
We systematically select high-performance, multi-purpose cleaning agents formulated with patented technologies to deliver optimal cleaning efficacy while reducing product variety. After implementing the optimized cleaning program, we reinforce our “less is more” approach through structured monthly audits, analyzing cleaning product consumption to proactively prevent excessive chemical use and improve overall cleaning efficiency.
Adopting a lean cleaning program without the complexity of multiple cleaning products is essential for reducing indoor chemical exposure. Innovative manufacturers develop unique formulations that are eco-friendly yet effective and can be used on multiple surfaces and for various types of stains. These kinds of products reduce product variety in cleaning operations, simplify workflows, and lower training requirements.
For example, Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide (AHP) is a patented formulation that cleans and disinfects simultaneously and can be used on almost all hard surfaces. It is effective against a variety of stains, including limescale. A single multipurpose product like this can achieve the same results as a bathroom limescaler, a multipurpose surface cleaner, and an alcohol-based surface disinfectant.
Another example is a 4-in-1 functional cleaning product that can be used in four different areas in the kitchen: countertop cleaning, floor cleaning, hand washing, and window cleaning. Such a multi-functional product can eliminate the need for separate glass cleaners, floor cleaners, and hand dishwashing liquids, which typically generate significant plastic waste.
Choose SURE plant-based cleaning products for powerful, sustainable results and a reduced environmental impact. Our formulations utilize 100% biodegradable ingredients derived from renewable agro-food by-products like sugar beet, maize, and coconut.
SURE meets stringent OECD 301B standards for safety and sustainability. Furthermore, by integrating natural by-products and renewable energy in our production process, SURE achieves an average 16% lower carbon footprint compared to traditional petroleum-based cleaners, providing superior cleaning without the compromise.
Cradle to Cradle Certified® cleaning products are designed with the entire product lifecycle in mind, ensuring they are safe for people, safe for the environment and made for a circular economy. This globally recognised certification evaluates cleaning products across key sustainability criteria, including material health, product circularity, renewable energy use, water stewardship and responsible manufacturing processes.
By choosing Cradle to Cradle Certified® cleaning solutions, organisations can reduce their environmental impact, lower chemical exposure risks, and support healthier indoor spaces. These products are formulated with carefully selected ingredients, designed for recyclability and produced using more sustainable methods—making them ideal for businesses looking to meet modern hygiene standards while advancing their sustainability goals.
EU Ecolabel-certified products meet some of the strictest environmental standards in Europe. Criteria are built on scientific data and focus on the top 10–20% of products with the lowest environmental impact across their entire life cycle. Every product is evaluated for resource efficiency, reduced hazardous substances, recyclability, durability, and high technical performance—while also meeting EU health, safety, social, and ethical requirements.
