Green cleaning service

Eco & Sustainability Published on 31 July 2006 in Eco & Sustainability

Based in San Francisco, Greenway Maid is an environment-friendly house and office cleaning service.

The company has a staff of professionals trained in green cleaning methods, experienced in busting dust and dirt with non-toxic, biodegradable products. Instead of a standard vacuum cleaner, Greenway uses an HEPA vacuum, which prevents dust and particles from being blown back into the air. Other products used include Soapworks non-chlorine bleach, diluted tea tree oil, baking soda and Murphy's pure vegetable oil soap to give hardwood floors a super shine.

Not only is the green approach good for the environment, non-toxic cleaning products are also better for children, pets and of course the cleaners that handle the products every day. Much like Brooklyn-based ZENhome Cleaning, which we covered a few months ago, Greenway Maid has found a great way to stand out in a prosaic industry. The green-clean concept should work well all over the world. Time to set up a respected, well-branded franchise organisation?

Dear Springwise,

Dear Vincent,
I'm interested in viewing your website,but nothing is coming up. Is www.homesweethome.net.uk correct?
Thanks, Sarah

In our office, we use My Green Cleaner (www.mygreencleaner.co.uk) and they have been brilliant so far. They even provide air purifiers that reduce pollen and allergen. Some of the staff have also hired them to clean their homes.
