Sustainable Christmas Cleaning Tips for Businesses

How Can Businesses Reduce Waste During Christmas Cleaning?

Businesses can reduce waste during Christmas cleaning by using efficient dosing, consolidating product ranges, choosing suitable paper solutions, and ordering smart so you avoid overstock and partial replacements.

Sustainability and performance can fully work together, especially when you focus on usage and waste reduction.

The Most Effective Changes (That Also Save Money)

1. Improve dosing and reduce overuse:

Overdosing is one of the biggest causes of waste and cost. Use measured dosing methods and train teams on correct dilution.

2. Consolidate products where it makes sense:

You often do not need multiple versions of the same cleaner. A smaller, smarter range reduces complexity, storage, and missed reorders.

3. Choose refills and larger formats where suitable:

Refill systems can reduce packaging waste and improve restocking efficiency.

4. Reduce paper waste without compromising hygiene:

Match the right paper type to the environment. The goal is fewer changes, less waste, and good user experience.

5. Order smarter to prevent last-minute waste:

Plan ahead with repeat orders or shopping lists per site to reduce emergency buying and poor substitutions.

Sustainable Habits for Cleaning Teams
