Green cleaning comes naturally to us
Snappy Solutions’ founder and president, Maureen Fairlie, is a former educator and marketing executive who ran a $30 million a year sales operation for a Fortune 500 company.
Health and safety have always played important roles in Maureen’s professional life. (Maybe that stint as 6th grade Safety Guard was a sign of things to come!). In the 1990s, she began researching the flurry of new green cleaning products coming to market as the link between toxins in cleaning products and human health became increasingly clear. With a pragmatic approach to business, and low tolerance for unfounded sales claims, it didn’t take long for Maureen to separate the truly effective cleaners from the soap stories. Snappy Solutions’ comprehensive green cleaning product line--and its core message, ‘where health, safety and the environment come first’--are the result.
Whether it’s the special maintenance issues facing schools and other high-density settings, or the need to protect the health of building occupants and custodial staff while being mindful of the bottom line, Maureen has the depth of experience needed to quickly grasp the challenge, and deliver a well thought-out cleaning and maintenance plan.
In addition to consulting with companies to help them choose the right products and cleaning program, Maureen serves as a business consultant for organizations wishing to reach their stewardship/green initiatives. She is also a motivational speaker to corporations, professional and civic groups on living a greener life.
How we work In the NY/NJ Metro Area
The first step toward a green, healthy indoor environment starts with a site visit. A Snappy Solutions consultant will come to your facility or workplace and perform a comprehensive site assessment. We’ll review all aspects of your cleaning and maintenance program, and identify opportunities to reduce health hazards, cut costs and improve efficiencies. We’ll summarize those findings in a customized, integrated green cleaning program that’s easy to implement and maintain with industry ‘best practices’ such as:
- Installation of high capacity paper and soap dispensers that reduce waste and minimize cross contamination.
- The use of entryway mat systems that trap 85% of dirt before it’s tracked into a building.
- The use of micro fiber dusting cloths and HEPA vacuums certified by the Carpet and Rug Institute to reduce allergens and asthma triggers.
- The use of concentrated cleaners that save thousands of dollars a year over Ready to Use cleaners.
Snappy Solutions’ on-site consultation service is available to businesses and organizations in the New York and New Jersey area. To arrange for a site visit contact: sales@snappysolutions.com
