Green cleaning companies are becoming more and more popular. More individual customers and businesses are actively choosing non-toxic cleaning alternatives to cleaning with chemicals. The Environmental Protection agency has revealed a list of hazardous ingredients contained in most commercial cleaners and their long-term and short-term effects on health. Many maid services and commercial cleaning services are taking notice.

If you are new to starting a natural cleaning service company, you will be pleased to learn that there are a variety of sustainable cleaning services available to provide your cleaning service company with the natural cleaning supplies you need. There are enough companies in business to ensure you get top-notch service. You will also lessen the chances of respiratory problems for you and your employees that could be related to using harsh commercial cleaners. This guide will help you:

1. Find customers seeking a green cleaning service.

2. Find quality, natural cleaning supplies.

3. Find assistance programs for sustainable commercial cleaning companies.


Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Market your natural cleaning services to reach your target audience


People committed to living a holistic lifestyle will be delighted by the natural cleaning service you provide. How to you reach this market effectively? Offering a residential cleaning maid service is the easiest way to start and is not as costly as a janitorial cleaning service. Commercial cleaning companies offering services such as office cleaning services and other building cleaning services can require more of an investment than a maid service for special cleaning equipment and solvents as well as requiring special training to use them.

I recommend: Create a simple, informative easy to navigate website, brochures and other marketing materials once you have a solid marketing strategy in place to help you reach your target audience. A green marketing firm like Green Marketing can help you plan your marketing goals.

Find natural supplies for commercial cleaning companies


The natural cleaning service industry has grown quickly within the past decade. A natural cleaning company will need to find a natural building cleaning service supplier to supply you with cleaning solutions.

I recommend: Companies like Seventh Generation and Naturally Maid are known for the effectiveness of their cleaning products.

Commit to running a sustainable cleaning service company


Some states, like California, encourage the public recognition of green businesses like cleaning companies. Reaching the level of successfully operating a sustainable cleaning company requires lots of follow-through, including making sure that your building cleaning services comply with the state, local and federal environmental health and safety regulations. Some government programs offer additional incentives to green businesses.

I recommend: Smart Communities offers extensive information about assistance programs available to sustainable businesses. Organizations like theses even present awards to businesses to publicly recognize their efforts.
