Fort Lauderdale, Fla. — Dec. 3, 2014 — There are green cleaners and then there is Evolve, the first all-natural, green cleaning technology proven in both lab testing and customer use to match or exceed the performance of petroleum-based Jan-San cleaners and laundry detergents.
Agaia, Inc., makers of Evolve, announced that its line of Green Seal-approved commercial cleaning products is expanding internationally as pressure mounts in the global janitorial services market for the use of environmentally and human-safe cleaning products and practices.
“Since we announced that five Evolve products were awarded Green Seal certifications in July 2014, interest in Agaia’s patented cleaning and laundry technology has increased exponentially and our global distribution network has grown dramatically,” said Agaia, Inc. CEO Mike Linn.
“In the last few months alone we’ve added new distributors in North and South America, Europe, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. This confirms the growing global demand for cost-competitive, eco-friendly cleaning products that deliver the same, and often a superior, level of performance over traditional chemical cleaners."
Five Evolve-based Agaia products received Green Seal certifications during summer 2014: Evolve All Surface Cleaner, Evolve Glass & Window Cleaner, Evolve All Duty Industrial Cleaner, Evolve Hard Water & Scale Remover, and Evolve Laundry Complete 203L.
“One out of every 16 cleaning personnel are injured on the job annually by the toxic and often poisonous chemicals contained in commercial cleaning and laundry products," Linn said. "These injuries, which commonly include serious burns to the eyes or skin, have a permanent impact on our cleaning personnel. These same people also experience some of the highest rates of occupational asthma and other lung conditions — twice the rate of other workers.
"Evolve not only helps increase safety on the job, but we are creating chemical-free, non-toxic environments in office buildings, hotels, hospitals, schools, institutions, and workplaces all over the world."
