Hire a green cleaning service that uses sustainable products

If you use a cleaning service, ask about their products or request they use your approved sustainable products. Some companies specialize in eco-friendly cleaning: Green Clean franchises, Merry Maids' GreenClean options, and many local independent cleaners now offer green cleaning by default.

Why It Works

Professional cleaning services use high volumes of cleaning products. Switching to a green service multiplies the environmental benefit beyond what a single household would achieve. It also eliminates your exposure to harsh chemicals in your own home.

Tips

• Ask what specific products and equipment they use before booking
• Provide your own products if the service does not offer green options
• Look for services that use HEPA-filter vacuums and microfiber mops
• Many independent cleaners will switch to eco-friendly products if you supply them
