Sustainability at Comclean Australia
A practical and proven approach to responsible cleaning
Did you know?
Commercial cleaning can impact the environment more than you might expect. From product choices to transport and waste, daily cleaning routines affect indoor air, waterways and emissions.
Some of the most common issues include:
- Excess water use in high-traffic buildings
- Chemical runoff that enters local water systems
- Poor indoor air quality from harsh chemicals
- Packaging waste from overused cleaning supplies
- Emissions from non-efficient vehicles and equipment
For example, a single site using traditional cleaning products may release hundreds of litres of chemical wastewater each month. Across multiple properties, this adds up quickly and increases overall carbon footprints.
What is sustainable commercial cleaning?
ustainable commercial cleaning is about maintaining safe, hygienic spaces while reducing harm to the environment. This means using biodegradable products, energy efficient equipment, paperless systems and staff training that supports smarter delivery.
At Comclean Australia, we apply these methods across all our services. Our systems are certified, results-driven and suitable for clients of all sizes across commercial cleaning sectors.
We also offer friendly cleaning services tailored to suit your building type, operating hours and compliance needs.

What we do to support sustainability?
Certified systems
We follow an ISO 14001 certified Environmental Management System. This global standard helps us set goals, train our teams and review results. It also ensures we stay accountable to our environmentally responsible commitments as a trusted cleaning company.
Responsible product use
All Comclean sites use eco-friendly cleaning products certified by GECA. These are free from harmful chemicals and made with biodegradable, plant-based ingredients. Many of these are also classified as green cleaning products, supporting a safer indoor environment and reduced environmental impact.
To learn more about the benefits of GECA approved products, visit our GECA Certified Cleaning Products page or explore the official GECA website for full certification details.
We also provide the SAO (Stabilised Aqueous Ozone) cleaning system for selected clients and sites. This innovative solution uses water and oxygen to create a powerful cleaner that reduces chemical use, packaging waste, and environmental impact. Already trusted in schools and government facilities, SAO is a proven option for organisations seeking stronger sustainability outcomes.

Smarter equipment and water-saving methods
We use energy efficient machines, microfibre systems and site-specific planning to reduce water consumption. Our teams follow consistent cleaning practices and use only what is needed for each job. This allows us to tailor our cleaning methods to each space and limit unnecessary waste.
Paperless tracking and digital reporting
We reduce waste by using digital site manuals, mobile checklists and real-time tools like SafetyCulture. This supports consistent service while also contributing to waste reduction and reducing waste across all sites.
Low-emission transport and route planning
Our teams use electric vehicles for many site visits. We also coordinate routes to avoid unnecessary travel and fuel use. This reduces operational impact and supports eco-friendly practices across our service delivery.
