Posted by April 19, 2015 at 1:55 PM under Environment Home Living Tips

house cleaning serviceThe decision to select a green house cleaning service is a prudent one. There are plenty of cleaning services, but cleaning services are not all created equally.

A great cleaning service can simplify your life by providing you with one less thing to think about and, in the process, helping you to free up your life! However, most cleaning services use industrial strength cleaners. The reason for this is very simple in that industrial strength cleaners are the most widely available. Why? There is a common misconception that super powerful chemicals are what is need for every cleaning job. Yet, in reality, nothing could be further from the truth – ¬odds are that your home only needs natural cleaners to get the job done.

Natural cleaning products may be more expensive, but the benefits are enormous. For example, with natural cleaning products, you don’t have to worry about exposure to potentially dangerous chemicals. The chemicals found in a range of household cleaners have been linked to a shockingly wide array of diseases and conditions, including cancer, organ damage, respiratory issues and more.

Green cleaning is the way to go! But what are some of the key factors in selecting a green cleaning service? Let’s dive in and explore some of the key factors you’ll want to consider.

Carbon footprint in grassA lot of cleaning services will claim that they provide green cleaning, but what does that mean? Oftentimes when one explores a house cleaning service in more depth, what is learned is that the cleaning services might not be all that green.

It is important that you pay close attention to exactly what green cleaning services are provided. What does the house cleaning service state that it provides on its website? Are all of its cleaning services green or only one part? A partial commitment to green cleaning should worry you as you’ll never know exactly what is going on behind the scenes. Look for a green house cleaning service that is deeply committed to green cleaning.

Green House Cleaning Service Factor Two-The Philosophy

It’s time to ask questions. What is the philosophy of a prospective green cleaner? Why have they selected to become a green cleaner?

A green home cleaning service should truly believes in the value of green products; this means that they will understand both how green cleaning products can protect the planet and human health. If you want great results, you’ll want to work with a company that has a real green philosophy and stands behind it. In other words, be on the lookout for companies that are just paying lip service to the importance of “going green.”

Green House Cleaning Service Factor Three-What Cleaners Do They Use and Why?

Gloved Hands Cleaning Stove Top Range with Spray bottle and MicrIt is prudent to ask a prospective house cleaning service what green cleaners they have selected and why. How a cleaning service answers these questions will tell you a great deal about how committed and knowledgeable a given company is the process of green cleaning. If they don’t have a green cleaning product in mind for every cleaning occasion, you might want to look elsewhere.

Green House Cleaning Service Factor Four-What Green Cleaning Products are Mentioned?

Selecting a house cleaning service means understanding what cleaning products are used. Do they talk about their approach on their website? If not, perhaps they have literature prepared they can give you.  A cleaning service should clearly outline what products it uses and for why.

Green House Cleaning Service Factor Five-Use Yelp! and Search the Internet for Reviews

This is a prudent investment that may very well save you many headaches in the long run. If you’ve received a personal referral from a friend or relative, all the better!

Senior Woman RefusingUpon hiring a green house cleaning service, keep a watchful eye during the first few appointments. Are you smelling chemicals? If you smell chemicals or harsh smells, then the odds are good that your green cleaning service isn’t so clean after all.

Also, be on the lookout against for companies that use the “green cleaning” label as an excuses to not clean. Some companies may attempt to use the excuse that green cleaners “are just not that effective,” to explain a lack of cleaning. Green cleaners are extremely effective for cleaning the average home. Don’t let your green house cleaner pretend otherwise.

When evaluating your green house cleaner, be sure that you are getting your money’s worth. In short, you shouldn’t let your green house cleaner cut corners just because they are going green.

Green House Cleaning Service Factor Seven-Ask for References

Any good business will be able and eager to provide you with references. When you ask for references, they should be provided to you promptly. If your green house cleaner can’t provide you with references in a timely fashion, then how good of a job can you expect them to do on your home? Again, any good business is ready to provide solid references. Just remember to follow up and check those references!
