Don’t Freak Out, But This Cleaning Service Is Worried About You
Cleanliness may be next to godliness, but it sure isn’t easy. Especially if you have kids or pets. And it might not even be that safe.
The Environmental Working Group did a study of more than 2,000 cleaning products on the American market and, among other things, found that:
- Fumes from some cleaning products may induce asthma in otherwise healthy individuals.
- Common cleaning ingredients can be laced with the carcinogenic impurity 1,4-dioxane.
- Labels often do not give consumers enough information about their ingredients to allow people to make informed decisions on which ones are safer and which ones might harm their health.
It’s enough to worry about all that if you’re doing the cleaning yourself. But what if—like me, like many of us—you need help? Lots of cleaning services will ask you to provide supplies. But given the report above, do yourself one better and hire a trusted service that’s already done the hard work of vetting all their products and services.
Consider ecomaids.
Brooklyn-born Ilana Sable founded ecomaids of New York to bring the benefits of professional home cleaning and sustainable living to her community.
“We’re modern. We’re highly scientific. We care about your health. We do well by our clients and our staff,” says Sable.
With ecomaids, you don’t have to do or buy anything. You hire them. They show up with everything they need to clean your place in an environmentally friendly way. They leave. You enjoy a spotless, safe home.
All of their supplies—everything from vacuums to dust cloths to cleaners—undergo a rigorous internal R&D process, and all their cleaning products are Green Seal certified.
That doesn’t just benefit you. It benefits the people cleaning your home. Let’s get back to that report for a second:
- Children born to women who held cleaning jobs while pregnant have an elevated risk of birth defects, according to a 2010 study by the New York State Department of Health.
Creating a safe work environment is not their only commitment to fair labor practices. They pay their employees on the books and offer them paid training, above-market compensation, and participation in a bonus program.
Yes, all that concern about you, their employees, and the environment add up to a slightly higher price tag. But the peace of mind – oh, the peace of mind!
Plus, you can get a $25 discount by visiting them here for your free estimate.
They currently service Manhattan south of 14th Street and areas of Brooklyn north and west of Prospect Park (Boerum Hill, Brooklyn Heights, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Downtown Brooklyn, DUMBO, and Park Slope).
Make prepping for those holiday houseguests a little easier and give them a try. Your planet and your health will thank you.
