Green House Cleaning Services

Green cleaning services are becoming more and more popular as consumers become more aware of the potential health risks associated with traditional cleaning products and methods. Green cleaning services are important for families who want to create the safest indoor environment possible for themselves, their pets and their guests. Chemical ingredients in common household products can contain toxins that can make us sick. Illnesses resulting from these toxins can be as mild as a headache or as severe as cancer. But green cleaning services can reduce or eliminate these health risks.

Chemicals & Your Health

Sufficient scientific evidence links chemicals in traditional house cleaning products to various health problems from the chronic to acute, and barely detectable to debilitating. Children, the elderly and pets are especially susceptible to the risks posed by chemicals in house cleaning products. People are taking note and beginning to demand green house cleaning products that are safer yet still effective.

What is "Green" Cleaning

True green cleaning services are careful to evaluate solutions and equipment to ensure they meet certain standards for health safety and effectiveness. Maid Brigade is the one cleaning service that takes our commitment to protect our customer and employees seriously. Some services say they are green but only address certain aspects of a true green program. But in order to provide the health benefits that green cleaning services claim, they should do all of these things:

1. Use solutions that are certified by Green Seal (or another recognized organization) to be free from carcinogens, reproductive toxins, neurotoxins, fragrances and other ingredients which can cause health problems
2. Use “greener” equipment such as vacuums that are recognized by the American Lung Association to improve indoor air quality
3. Use color-coded microfiber cloths to reduce the need for cleaning solutions, minimize landfill waste and prevent cross contamination from room to room within the home
4. Have a means to ensure that each member of the green cleaning service’s staff is following the prescribed cleaning protocol in every home and on every visit
5. Stay abreast of the latest science and technology so that the service can always offer the safest and most effective cleaning protocols available

Green cleaning services that use green cleaning solutions but do not improve indoor air quality could be cancelling out any benefit from the safer solutions to reduce asthma or allergy attacks by using a vacuum which stirs up dust and circulates it through the air rather than removing it, for example.

Green cleaning services who address all these aspects of a holistic green cleaning method, on the other hand, provide maximum health benefit to people, pets and the environment.

Maid Brigade is the one green cleaning service that is committed to doing everything possible to minimize and prevent potential health risks associated with traditional cleaning services. Services that don’t address the cleaning solutions, tools, equipment and the processes cannot claim to be truly green. Don’t be fooled by “partially green” cleaning services. Choose Maid Brigade, and be certain you’re getting the maximum health benefit from green cleaning.
