"Green" Cleaning

Housecleaning Products That Are Safe. We believe in preserving the environment and contributing to your health and the health of our housekeepers by using the safest products available for effective cleaning. The housecleaning products we use include the following:

Descale-It Products

Housecleaning with Biodegradable Products. Descale-It products utilize glycolic acid, derived from sugar cane, to safely and effectively remove soap scum and mineral scale. Approved by Scientific Certification Systems, these biodegradable housecleaning products break down into carbon dioxide, basic minerals and water.

Murphy’s Oil Soap

Housecleaning for Your Health. This housecleaning product carries the EPA’s Design for the Environment certification.

Microfiber Cloths and Mop Pads

Housecleaning Cloths and Pads with Less Chemicals. Microfiber will absorb seven times its weight in liquid. When dry, it naturally attracts dust. When wet, it attracts water and oil. It has a microscopic scrubbing action but does not scratch soft surfaces. These properties make microfiber superior for housecleaning. In fact, microfiber cloths and pads clean so well that less cleaning chemicals are needed to remove dust and dirt.

Disinfectant Chemicals. It should be noted that, since they kill bacteria, disinfectant chemicals cannot carry "green" certification. However, Green Concepts™ makes a disinfectant cleaner that is considered safe and effective but is necessarily without EPA or Green Seal certification.
