Making a difference

Being part of the solution

Since the 1950s, over 70,000 new chemical compounds have been created, with few tested for human toxicity. The commercial cleaning industry also releases over 350,000 litres of harsh chemicals into the environment monthly.

We are proud to be different.

At Jani-King, we recognise the environmental impact of traditional cleaning methods and are dedicated to reducing our footprint.

  1. Environmental impact
    Traditional cleaning products often contain harsh chemicals that contribute to pollution, both indoors and outdoors. From chemical runoff contaminating waterways to plastic packaging filling up landfills, the environmental toll of conventional cleaning methods is undeniable. That's why we are proud to be doing things differently.
  2. Our approach
    At Jani-King, we're committed to reducing our environmental impact by prioritising eco-friendly cleaning practices and eco-benign probiotic cleaning products. Our team of franchisees use these solutions as they are safe for people and do no harm to the environment. By reducing our reliance on harmful chemicals and using eco-friendly cleaning practices, we are minimising our environmental footprint while still delivering exceptional cleaning results.

By partnering with Jani-King, your business is not only ensuring a clean and healthy environment but also contributing to a better future for New Zealand through our dedicated sustainable practices. 

The power of probiotic cleaners

Unlike harsh chemical cleaners that eliminate all bacteria on surfaces, our probiotic cleaning products work differently. They safeguard surfaces by introducing beneficial bacteria that offer an enduring clean and odour control.

These innovative probiotic cleaners are created using advanced chemical technology and combined with specific bacillus cultures. These cultures have the remarkable ability to penetrate deep into surfaces, effectively breaking down stubborn dirt, grime, and odours, providing long-lasting cleaning results without causing harm to the environment.

Sustainable cleaning practices for a better tomorrow

It has never been more important for New Zealand businesses to act against climate change and operate sustainably in everything they do. That's why we consider it in every aspect of our business.
