Molly Maid supports nationwide efforts for a healthier, more environmentally-friendly world. For many professional cleaning companies, green home cleaning is just another trend, one requiring some different products labeled “natural.” For us, green house cleaning is an extension of what we already do on a daily basis—safeguard families.
As a professional cleaning company, we take pride in reducing the allergens, bacteria, and germs that make your family sick. Our residential housekeepers disinfect your home against rhinovirus and other common causes for colds, flu and allergies. That means fewer missed work and school days for you and your children and grandchildren.
Our Green Cleaning Products
Using green home cleaning business practices makes sense to us because it protects our residential maids, our customers, and our planet. We’re proud to share green home cleaning tips and practices that help our communities follow suit.
Many companies claim to provide “natural” or “green” home cleaning products and services. At Molly Maid, we won’t label a bottle of bleach “green” just because it’s in a recycled container. We won’t claim green cleaning products have disinfectant qualities, because we know organic cleaners don’t kill harmful bacteria. Instead of “green washing” we educate customers on our products and business practices for a more balanced approach to green house cleaning services.
Our green cleaning products are 100% biodegradable, making them environmentally safe. To reduce our carbon footprint and minimize packaging waste, our green cleaning products are supplied in concentrate and distributed in reusable bottles. This system drastically reduces our overall impact on the environment.
Product Specifications
Our bio-based green cleaning products are non-toxic, non-reactive and non-corrosive. They do not contain any known or suspected carcinogens and have extremely low or no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). VOCs are gases and vapors emitted from liquids, which can have short and long term adverse health effects. In addition, our green cleaning products have no ozone depleting compounds or chemicals, both of which are known to damage the environment.
Product Contents
The green cleaning products are made from renewable, plant based materials such as palm kernel oils, coconut oils, sugars and soybeans resulting in a healthier indoor living environment and minimal allergic reactions. Sometimes stronger cleaning products are necessary to meet our high cleaning standards but the use of these products is kept to a minimum.
Customized Green Cleaning
Keeping germs and harmful bacteria away from your family requires using disinfectants. That’s why Molly Maid recommends allowing residential maids to use this concentrated house cleaner during your initial house cleaning. For some customers that may not be acceptable. It’s your home and we’ll clean it your way.
Our flexible green cleaning services take your preferences into account. Where available, Molly Maid can use all green cleaning products. Or we could alternate the use of disinfectants and green house cleaners. For example, that could mean using disinfectants in your bathroom during your weekly cleaning service, or rotating the use of green cleaning products with disinfectants in that room, or any other room, of your home.
Health Benefits of Professional Cleaning Services
In the United States alone, 1 billion colds are reported annually, according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The Center for Disease Control reports 22 million school days are lost annually in the United States because of common colds.
Proper cold prevention, as recommend by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, includes eating a balanced diet, exercise, hand washing and home cleaning. Professional maid services disinfect stair railings, door knobs and other commonly used surfaces where Rhinoviruses live.
Besides reducing bacteria, cleaning provided by Molly Maid professional maid services reduce common allergens like dust and mold. Molly Maid specifically employs methods to control dust and prevent mold spores from returning.
As professional house cleaners, we ensure efficient home cleanings by using the right products and the right amounts. Many inexpensive, diluted cleaners leave a residue and require more work to clean your home. Our concentrated cleaners do more by using less.
