Green cleaning helps hotel's leed rating
A new Napa Valley hotel will soon get the highest Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating of any U.S. hotel, helped in part by its green housekeeping program, according to the Vacaville Reporter. The 133-room Gaia Napa Valley is still being reviewed by the U.S. Green Building Council, but it will get at least a silver , and possibly a gold, rating; the highest LEED-rated hotel so far is bronze, the story stated. The green housekeeping program includes toilet paper and facial tissue made from recycled products, shampoo dispensers that do not leave a plastic bottle to dispose of, recycling bins in every room, and ecologically sound cleaning chemicals, the story noted.
