Earth-friendly Solvents Gain Popularity

A recent article by Ken Helder entitled “Green Cleaning” at The Daily Courier highlighted on the unique offering of All Clean Services business: environmentally safe products and procedures. When Ken Celebucki, president of All Clean Services Inc. in Chino Valley, originally began offering “green cleaning” 13 years ago, people thought it was odd.

Today All Clean Services’ environmental focus is not just notable, it’s being admired by households and businesses alike. The Daily Courier pointed out that although the idea of “going green” has not completely caught on yet, many businesses are recognizing the importance of it and like the idea. The article went on to explain that owner, Ken Celebucki bad experiences with toxic chemicals during his youth when his brother went to the hospital to get his stomach pumped after he swallowed a popular cleaning product. This inspired him to avoid chemicals in his cleaning business, which has about 40 employees.

To prove the safety of his products owner Ken Celebucki sprayed a product that contains hydrogen peroxide into his mouth! (He washed his mouth out afterward.) explained to The Daily Courier that All Clean uses cloths that are reusable, and micro-fiber mops, which come with a squirt bottle. "So, instead of filling up an 8-gallon bucket with water and chemicals, we can mop the same amount of space with a quart of water," Celebucki said. "We try to look at the whole picture, the whole impact on the environment."
