At least once a week, I like to profile a business and it’s website here on Boston CS (regardless of whether or not I have a working relationship with them). This week, the profile is on a Boston Green cleaning supply company.

Company name: Clean Green Solutions, LLC

Your name: Bill Scherer

Company location: 8 Mitchell St. South Boston, MA

Years in business: 1

Number of Employees: 2

Company description:

Clean Green Solutions specializes in ONLY green commercial cleaning products. The Rochester Midland Corporation, established in 1888 introduced their first line of cleaning products in 1986. The award winning Enviro Care bio-based products are Green Seal and EcoLogo certified and are dispensed via a traditional chemical dispensing unit for just pennies per quart. If you’re looking for a green alternative to a traditional cleaning product, we have it!

What was the inspiration for starting this business? Did you start it to solve a problem? Was it something you had always wanted to do? What made you finally pull the trigger to bring the company from a dream to a reality?

The Green Wave. CGS creates a solution for business’ looking for all green cleaning products.

What is the biggest obstacle that you have faced so far? How have you overcome this obstacle, or is it something that you still struggle with?

Internet clients

Why should people buy your product(s) over the competition?

Our products are Truly Green, meaning they are green seal and eco logo certified and surpass the EPA’s criteria for green cleaning products. The products cost less than traditional products and in most cases, work better.

What is your best selling green cleaning product?

All of the products do very well. I would have to say the Proxi Spray and Walk Away carpet spotter.

Who is your typical customer?

My typical customers are hotels, property management companies and maid companies.

Feedback

Clean Green Solutions is in a very hot niche right now. As he mentioned, Bill’s biggest problem is a lack of new customers coming in through the Internet. Check back tomorrow when I publish my analysis of Clean Green Solutions’ website.
