This credit was marked as Not Pursuing so Reporting Fields will not be displayed.

Hugh Briggs of Physical Plant has noted that in the past the janitorial staff have tested green products in replacement of traditional cleaning products but have found them to be inadequate. Briggs noted that often the cleaning products do not adequately clean bathroom facilities, and the perfumes in green products have caused complaints. He noted that some with a lack of perfumes have resulted in complaints that bathrooms do not smell clean, and that others with perfumes have aggravated sensitivities to allergy's. Physical Plant thus has no formal policy which mandates the use of green cleaning products.
