Council cleaners go bleach free to green up Liverpool

The cleaning staff across Liverpool City Council are aiming to use the most environmentally friendly cleansing products available and have called in Jangro member,Wray Bros of Liverpool to advise.

The council's 300-strong army of cleaners has banned the use of bleach and all products that are harmful to the environment, and has replaced them with alternative eco products, which don't harm the planet or damage the health of its cleaning team.

The council has adopted the Jangro 'Enviro' product range which claims to have a low environmental impact in terms of its manufacturing process, delivery and use.The move will help the city to meet its carbon reduction commitments in the coming years.

Liverpool's Lord Mayor Councillor Mike Storey asked for the new eco-friendly products to be used at the town hall."The initial response from the cleaners and town hall staff has been overwhelmingly positive," says Storey,"and we would encourage other businesses and all residents to use similar environmentallyfriendly cleaning products to help make Liverpool the greenest city in the UK." "This is a fantastic scheme," says Councillor Berni Turner, Liverpool's executive member for the environment."It really is a solution that will benefit individuals and the environment." The council's cleaning services department provides cleansing services to 180 buildings.Wray Bros has also introduced a range of more environmentally friendly delivery vehicles and the council has given a commitment to half delivery days each year.
