‘Greening Your Janitorial Products…For Real!’
Bill Scherer, President, Clean Green Solutions
Bill Scherer, President of Clean Green Solutions founded the company in 2008. After spending several years in the hotel industry, Bill saw a need for a greener alternative to the toxic laundry and housekeeping chemicals being used in virtually every hotel around the country. Clean Green Solutions was founded on 3 core principles: 1.) Our products must be TRULY green. 2.) Our products must be effective and 3.) Our products must be cost efficient. Bill works and lives in South Boston, MA where he enjoys spending time with his family and his 10 year old boxer Butch. Bill is also an avid snow boarder, golfer and beach goer.
