Green Cleaning

CityLine Sunnyvale has an ongoing commitment to maintain the facility in an environmentally preferable way that will benefit the health of the occupants, visitors, maintenance personnel and the natural environment. To this end, CityLine Sunnyvale and their janitorial contractor, Service by Medallion, adopted green cleaning practices and implemented a purchase policy for sustainable cleaning products and equipment. These practices and policies were implemented in 2009 and have resulted in positive feedback by occupants and maintenance personnel.

All green cleaning products purchased at the facility meet the Green Seal GS-37 standard and paper products purchased have a 45% recyclable content. To maintain a healthy indoor air environment, microfiber cloths are used to reduce cleaning chemical consumption and HEPA vacuums are used to capture dust and contaminants. A dilution control unit was installed in all janitorial closets to minimize chemical hazards and exposures and assist in the reduction of consumables.

Building management and Service by Medallion maintains a strategic cleaning schedule of all periodic services. Additionally, the green cleaning practices are reviewed annually to identify areas of improvement or new strategies. The adoption of these green cleaning practices assisted us in obtaining LEED certification in 2015.

Improved building appearance, increased tenant satisfaction and enhanced indoor air quality are positive outcomes resulting in the implementation of the green cleaning practices at CityLine Sunnyvale.
