Private households: Disposing of dirty water after daily cleaning is not normally a problem. Dirty water can be disposed of in floor drains, toilets and suitable wash basins. Please observe the respective instructions on the cleaning agent packaging.
If you have an old cleaning agent in your cupboard which you no longer wish to use: please do not simply throw it away; for safety reasons, it would be better to dispose of it properly. The best thing to do here would be to take it to a local recycling depot, which also professionally handles the disposal of leftover household cleaning products. Containers with this type of leftover product may usually be disposed of free of charge or for a small fee.
If a cleaning product has been entirely used up, however, then empty containers may be taken directly to the appropriate recycling bin.
Professional service providers: Disposing of loosened dirt after your daily routine cleaning or deep cleaning is not normally a problem. Loosened dirt can be disposed of in floor drains, toilets and suitable wash basins. Staff members should be given information about this during initial training. If procedural instructions are required, this will indicate the disposal options.
Special precautions, which cleaning staff should be made aware of, are required when dealing with loosened dirt from machine and plant cleaning (e.g. hydrocarbon-containing cooling lubricants), façade cleaning (e.g. acids, solvents) and the cleaning of highly-sensitive spaces (e.g. chemicals taken up), clinical facilities (e.g. disinfecting agents), and kitchens (solvents, grease).
Communal waste water regulations must be observed. We recommend handing waste substances to an approved disposal firm.
Non-contaminated and empty packaging may be taken for recycling.
