In 2005 Ridge Crest Cleaning became the first cleaning company in the UK to provide a completely sustainable cleaning contract.

Ridge Crest Cleaning believes that "going green" is a commercially viable goal that can result in our clients paying less for their cleaning.

• Our service helps to divert waste from landfill by using fewer cleaning products (20% cost saving).
• We carry out green audits for clients. This includes recommending green products and conducting monthly site surveys to identify recycling opportunities that result in cost savings.
• Green purchasing minimises the use of chemicals whilst the use of harder-wearing non-woven cloths and steam cleaning improves productivity and cost-efficency.

Working in partnership with clients and suppliers, we have created workable green solutions that are in compliance with and exceed environmental regulations.

• We supply green cleaning products through our sister company Eco-Serve.
• We aim to partner with green suppliers, such as Mustang and source recycled paper.
• Quality monitoring systems help avoid incidents such as chemical spillage, improper disposal of waste and unnecessary emissions into watercourses.
• We raise environmental awareness through staff induction programmes, education, skills development and training.
