More Carmel homeowners are asking about eco-friendly cleaning options—and for good reason. Traditional cleaning products often contain harsh chemicals that can affect indoor air quality and pose risks to children, pets, and the environment.

‍

What is Eco-Friendly Cleaning?

Eco-friendly (or "green") cleaning uses products and methods that minimize environmental impact and health risks. This typically means products that are biodegradable, non-toxic, free from harsh chemicals like ammonia, chlorine, and artificial fragrances, and often derived from plant-based ingredients.

Benefits of Green Cleaning

1.    Safer for families. Non-toxic products reduce exposure to harmful chemicals, especially important for homes with young children.

2.    Pet-friendly. Pets are particularly sensitive to chemical residues on floors and surfaces. Eco-friendly products are typically safe if pets walk on or lick cleaned surfaces.

3.    Better indoor air quality. Traditional cleaners can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that linger in your home. Green products minimize this concern.

4.    Effective cleaning. Modern eco-friendly products are just as effective as traditional cleaners—there's no sacrifice in cleanliness.

5.   Environmental responsibility. Biodegradable products reduce the chemical load entering our waterways and ecosystems.

What to Ask Your Cleaning Service

When evaluating cleaning companies, ask what products they use. Look for companies that can specify the brands and ingredients, explain why they chose those products, and confirm they avoid harsh chemicals like bleach and ammonia in routine cleaning.
