Understanding the EU Ecolabel Standard for Indoor Cleaning
Established in 1992, the EU Ecolabel certification guarantees products and services with a low environmental impact, verified independently. The EU Ecolabel can be awarded to routine professional cleaning services performed indoors in commercial, institutional and other publicly accessible buildings and private residences, but it excludes disinfection activities. For indoor cleaning services, this standard ensures high environmental standards throughout the lifecycle of operations. By adhering to the EU Ecolabel criteria, Derrycourt demonstrates its commitment to reducing environmental harm while prioritising the well-being and safety of its employees.
