Many facility management (FM) companies still headline a single sustainability metric:
“Our total carbon emissions were X tonnes of CO?e.”
That’s a useful measure, but it doesn’t show the efficiency of operations. For FM teams managing multi-site portfolios, supply chains, and logistics, total emissions often rise naturally with growth — even when you’re reducing your environmental footprint per building, per employee, or per pound of revenue.
At Janitorial Express, we’re proud to offer our customers access to the Jangro Learning Management Solutions (LMS) — a suite of in-depth, CPD-accredited courses designed to tackle the real challenges cleaning teams face today.
As sustainability expectations increase, more businesses are asking a critical question:
“How do we measure the carbon footprint of the products and services we buy?”
A New Era in Cleaning
Probiotic cleaners don’t work like traditional chemical disinfectants. Instead of using harsh ingredients to kill microbes on contact, they introduce beneficial bacteria—usually Bacillus spores—to clean surfaces biologically and sustainably.
This is a fundamentally different approach. And in modern buildings where hygiene, odour control, and environmental impact all matter, it makes a lot of sense.

Janitorial Express Brought in a Major General during Covid to help support our customers
For over three decades, Janitorial Express has been the backbone support to large sections of the UK cleaning and education sectors sector, delivering reliability, care and personal service. But when the world turned upside down, we did something unusual: we turned to a Major General. And that decision changed everything.
For years, the dominant message in commercial cleaning has been simple: kill every germ. The more aggressive the chemical, the better. But recent science is challenging that mindset — and with it, how we define “clean.”
Sustainability often feels like a big-picture conversation — focused on carbon targets, headline-grabbing innovations, or massive system changes. But I believe some of the most impactful changes are the ones that happen quietly, in the background, and at scale.
That’s what’s been on my mind recently — the small, everyday decisions we make in our industry that can help shape a cleaner, more responsible future.
Client Demands and the Need for Scope 3 Emissions Data
