What Makes a Cleaning Service Truly Eco-Friendly?
When people hear “eco-friendly cleaning,” they usually think of lemon-scented sprays and maybe a green label on a bottle. But real eco-friendly cleaning is more than that. It’s about protecting your space, your health, your pets, and the planet — all while still getting a seriously good clean.
At Cleanery, being eco-friendly isn’t something we mention just to sound nice. It’s how we work, from the products we use to how we train our team. We’ve built the whole business around the idea that a clean home should also be a healthy one.
What “Eco-Friendly” Actually Means to Me
Here’s what I think makes a cleaning service actually eco-friendly:
No harsh chemicals. We stay far away from bleach, ammonia, and anything that makes you feel like you need to leave the room while we clean.
Plant-based and biodegradable products. What we use breaks down naturally and doesn’t stick around in your home or in the water system.
Safe for kids and pets. If you’ve got a crawling baby or a dog who thinks the floor is his bed, you’ll never have to worry.
Less waste. We use products in recyclable packaging and choose brands that care about their environmental footprint.
No animal testing. Every product we bring into your home is cruelty-free. Full stop.
That’s why I only use Method products in my cleans. They’re safe, they smell amazing, and they work.
Why I Trust Method
I’ve tried a lot of cleaning products over the years. Some worked but made the house smell like a chemical lab. Others smelled great but didn’t do the job. Method was the first brand I used that felt like the full package.
Here’s why I love it and why it’s in every Cleanery kit:
It’s Plant-Based and It Works
Method’s made with plant-derived ingredients that actually get things clean. We’re not just pushing dirt around. Counters shine, sinks sparkle, and everything smells fresh without that fake lemon scent.
No Questionable Stuff
You won’t find parabens, phthalates, or mystery ingredients in these bottles. Just things you can pronounce and feel good about.
It’s Pet and Family Friendly
I clean homes with kids, cats, dogs — you name it. It matters to me that I’m not spraying anything I wouldn’t use in my own home. I want you to feel safe letting your baby crawl around or your dog nap wherever they want.
The Bottles Are Recycled
All of Method’s packaging is made from 100% recycled plastic. I love that. It’s a small thing that adds up, especially when you clean as many homes as we do.
Even Their Factory Is Green
Their production facility runs on wind and solar energy. They grow food on the roof. Like, come on — that’s the kind of business I want to support.
You Can Feel the Difference
After a Cleanery visit, I want you to feel like your home can breathe again. That might sound cheesy, but it’s true. The air feels fresher. Things smell clean, not chemical. Your space just feels better - and it’s because we’re thoughtful about what we use and how we clean.
It’s not just about the end result. It’s about the experience, too.
