Only multifamily projects may earn credit. There are two ways for a project to earn credit for green cleaning:1) Supply of products (1/2 ID point). Provide a 1-year supply of cleaning products to the occupant. These products must meet six major cleaning needs, and they must comply with a clear set of acceptable performance level standards, such as Green Seal standard GS-37 (see www.greenseal.org) or California Code of Regulations, Title 17 Section 94509, VOC standards for cleaning products (go to www.calregs.com, click on California Code of Regulations and perform a keyword search for 94509). The project team must supply the occupant with information on how to easily purchase refills and/or replacements, and educate the residents on the green cleaning concepts and products via discussion and/or written materials.2) Green cleaning service (1 ID point). The builder must contract with a professional \'green\' cleaning company to provide one year of service using green cleaning products to the occupant. The products being used must meet six major cleaning needs, and they must comply with a clear set of acceptable performance level standards, such as Green Seal standard GS-37 (see www.greenseal.org) or California Code of Regulations, Title 17 Section 94509, VOC standards for cleaning products (go to www.calregs.com, click on California Code of Regulations and perform a keyword search for 94509).
