Construction projects, whether commercial or residential, often leave behind a significant mess—dust, adhesives, paint spills, and debris. As more companies and homeowners commit to sustainability, it’s crucial to use sustainable cleaning products for construction sites that are effective, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly.

At Kejani Cleaning Services, we believe that post-construction cleaning shouldn’t compromise your health or the planet. In this guide, we explore the best green cleaning products—both homemade and commercially available in Kenya—to help you clean responsibly and sustainably.

Why Choose Sustainable Cleaning Products for Construction Sites?

Using eco-friendly products offers several key benefits:

✅ Protects the environment – Reduces chemical runoff into soil and water systems
✅ Safer for workers – Less skin and respiratory irritation from toxic fumes
✅ Improves indoor air quality – Especially important in new builds
✅ Supports green building certifications – Such as LEED or EDGE
✅ Reduces waste – Many sustainable brands use refillable or recyclable packaging

Common Eco-Friendly Cleaning Agents (Natural DIY Options)

4. Lemon Juice

Antibacterial and acidic, lemon helps:

• Break down glue or adhesives

• Remove hard water stains

• Leave a fresh, clean scent
