Tie the statement to the actual product, service practice, or program. Leave broader claims out when the evidence does not establish them. Start with the words already proposed for the homepage, service pages, proposal download, and quote form. Review badges and photographs alongside the text. ## Replace broad claims with specific evidence The FTC's Green Guides summary advises against broad, unqualified environmental claims such as “green” and “eco-friendly.” It recommends clear, prominent, specific qualifications. [FTC environmental-claims guidance, checked 2026.10.23](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/environmental-claims-summary-green-guides). Ask what the business means by the proposed phrase. A product choice, packaging statement, and company-wide environmental promise need separate evidence. Do not turn a supplier's description into a claim about every task your crew performs. Obtain the actual product record and approved service description first. ## Use a claim worksheet | Proposed wording | Evidence question | Editorial decision | | --- | --- | --- | | Green cleaning | Which specific supported benefit is meant? | Replace broad wording | | A product designation | Which actual product and current program record apply? | Preserve the designation's scope | | Reduced packaging | Which comparison and period support it? | State only the documented comparison | | A certification seal | What was evaluated and who holds it? | Check the exact meaning and display permission | | Safe for everyone | What supports that entire claim? | Leave unresolved without suitable evidence | Keep each source, check date, and reviewer with the approved sentence. Ask the person responsible for purchasing or operations to resolve product uncertainty. A narrow claim may need a narrow location on the page. Avoid a general headline that expands a specific product benefit into a promise about the entire service. ## Review seals independently The FTC explains that seals and certifications can imply general environmental benefits unless their basis is made clear. [FTC certification and seal guidance, checked 2026.10.23](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/environmental-claims-summary-green-guides). Confirm the actual holder and evaluated subject. A designation for one product should not be presented as certification of your whole company. Obtain approval for the artwork and accompanying wording. Do not assume a supplier's downloadable badge gives your website every right to use it. If the certification basis is unclear, keep the image out while the responsible person checks it. Use the smaller verified service description meanwhile. ## Keep health claims separate An environmental statement should not silently become a health guarantee. Review claims about pathogens, allergies, safety, and disinfection through the appropriate evidence process. Use the [cleaning disinfection-claims guide](/articles/commercial-cleaning-disinfection-website-claims) for that separate task. Do not treat a customer's positive experience as proof of a technical outcome. Ask the reviewer to read headings, captions, and buttons together. Remove unsupported implications even when the body paragraph is accurate. ## Give the editor the final evidence set Provide the approved sentences, source references, permitted images, and all affected page locations. Name the person who reviews changes when products or programs change. Test the service inquiry route without claiming the form selects a product or accepts a specialist scope automatically. The [commercial cleaning website hub](/for/janitorial-and-commercial-cleaning) covers the wider site. Bring the claim worksheet and approved wording to [Scale With Search's written scope form](/work).
