Allergy-Sensitive / HEPA Cleaning for Permian Basin Businesses
Allergy-sensitive cleaning is a scoped variant of our green program for offices with employees who have asthma, allergies, fragrance sensitivities, or chemical sensitivities. We use HEPA backpack vacuums, fragrance-free chemistry, and microfiber-only surface cleaning to minimize aerosolized allergens and irritants.
Service overview
Everything you need to know about allergy-sensitive cleaning
The five questions every facility manager asks before signing a contract — answered in order.
What is allergy-sensitive cleaning
Cleaning program using fragrance-free, low-VOC EPA Safer Choice products; HEPA-filter backpack vacuums (capture particles down to 0.3 micron); microfiber-only surface cleaning to minimize aerosolized chemical exposure. Scoped for ADA accommodation requirements when needed.
Why you need it
Conventional cleaning chemistry causes asthma and allergy reactions; fragrances trigger MCS (multiple chemical sensitivity) episodes; standard vacuum bags release fine particles back into the air. HEPA + fragrance-free + microfiber together solve all three.
How we deliver it
Walkthrough → identify chemical-sensitive employees and accommodation requirements → swap chemistry to fragrance-free EPA Safer Choice line → deploy HEPA backpack vacuums → microfiber-only on all surface cleaning → schedule cleaning during low-occupancy windows when possible.
How much it costs
5–10% premium over conventional janitorial. HEPA equipment amortized into ongoing program. Fragrance-free chemistry comparable to conventional after initial inventory swap.
What happens if you skip it
Without allergy-sensitive cleaning: chemically sensitive employees file ADA complaints, take leave, or quit. Asthmatic and allergic employees lose productive days. Office IAQ deteriorates broadly.
How S&T Approaches Allergy-Sensitive Cleaning
What makes our allergy-sensitive cleaning program different
Same crew every visit
Facility managers get the same people in the building week after week. Continuity at the crew level — not just the contract level.
Color-coded microfiber
Enforced at the crew level — different colors for restrooms, food-prep, and office surfaces. Prevents cross-contamination between zones.
EPA Safer Choice chemistry
Default on every account. Green Seal GS-37 alternatives available for chemically-sensitive facilities.
HEPA backpack vacuums
Captures allergens down to 0.3 micron — important for chemically-sensitive employees and shared HVAC. Standard equipment on every account.
How This Fits

Most clients bundle it with their broader commercial janitorial services contract — single invoice, single crew, consistent standards. Green cleaning uses certified-safe products. Allergy-sensitive cleaning adds fragrance-free, HEPA filtration, and microfiber-only surface cleaning specifically for employees with sensitivities.
