How to Choose a Green Maid Service
First off you should be choosing to use a green cleaning service. You should ask questions that verify the company you are choosing is using accepted green cleaning practices and is not just green washing.
1. Are they using cleaning products that are certified by an independent organization such as Green Seal? Are the cleaning solutions they are using safe for people and pet?
2. What kind of vacuums are they using. Are they using sealed canister vacuums with HEPA filtration to reduce allergens and other respiratory irritants by up to 99.9%?
3. Do they use techniques and procedures to reduce cross contamination across surfaces, like color coded micro-fiber mops and shamis?
4. Do they have a green cleaning training program that teaches the benefits and importance of green cleaning? Do they supervise and coach their employees to constantly improve performance?
Whenever you hire a cleaning service to work in your home you need to ask the following questions?
1. Are the cleaning service's employees bonded and insured?
Go Green Clean is bonded and insured and we will be happy to show you are policies if you ask. This gives you the peace of mind to know that if the unthinkable does happen, you don't have anything to worry about
.
2. What are my tax implications?
If you pay someone more than $1400 per year for maid services, and that maid doesn't pay taxes, you are responsible for those taxes. Those taxes include federal withholding, social security, and Medicare. Go Green Clean takes care of all of these requirements so that you don't need to worry.
3. How do they screen their employees?
Does the cleaning service complete full background checks on all of its employees. Go Green Clean does full background checks on all of its employees. For your safety, our maids arrive in uniform, in a car with our logo.
4. Do I have to provide cleaning supplies or equipment?
Go Green clean supplies all of the supplies, and uses its own high quality professional grade cleaning tools and equipment. If a cleaning service is using your supplies, what happens when you run out of something, or your vacuum breaks? These expenses come out of your pocket and add to the overall cost of your service.
5. Does your cleaning service have a written guarantee?
