I am reviewing the requirements for the O+M Starter Kit - Green Cleaning Policy and had some questions relating to these two items:

EQ Credit: Green Cleaning - Purchase of Cleaning Products and Materials
EQ Credit: Green Cleaning - Cleaning Equipment

  1. How specific does the language need to be regarding cleaning products and materials? For example, would a blanket statement requiring that cleaning products and paper products meet Green Seal guidelines be enough?
  2. Is achieving the EQ Credit: Green Cleaning - Cleaning Equipment required for the O+M Green Cleaning Policy?
  3. If the Green Cleaning Policy is included in an update to a janitorial contract, but that contract will not be signed until a few months after building operations have begun, can credit still be received for the initiative?
