We use products for cleaning that are designed to avoid VOCs, which has led us to using peroxide-based products and ionized water. Peroxide-based cleaners off-gas oxygen, not VOCs; and ionized water reverts back to water, which does not produce VOCs.

There are so many demands clamoring for the facility department's attention. But while mechanical systems typically spring into the limelight with their whiz-bang pageantry, whirring moving parts and melodic noises, we cannot forget to grant due attention to the electrical systems — the sleeping giant, lumbering in the corner, powering these shiny, prominent fixtures at the flick of a switch.

All products, green or not, have manufacturer recommendations for proper use; not using any product correctly will decrease efficacy. This is an important point, as this is a mistake many maintenance people make — they change the product without changing the procedure.
