Planet friendly
and Highly effective commercial chemicals
-
Organic and sustainable - Our chemical suppliers are committed to creating high-quality products that are safe for the environment and your health. Furthermore, they only use recycled packaging and high concentrations of plant extracts, citrus oils, and vinegars. These natural ingredients don’t pollute the air or waterways and are safe for pets and children.​
-
Powerful & effective - We’ve built our reputation as providers of eco cleaning services for businesses and families so all the products we use are safe and eliminate dirt -first time. We rigorously test the cleansing and disinfecting formulas of every product we use, so they’re organic yet tough; natural, and 100% chemical free.​
-
Non-Toxic - Our plant-based cleaning agents never expose your family, pets, home or business to harmful chemicals or fumes. Our products don’t contain toxins, pollutants, or suspected carcinogens such as VOCs, solvents, chlorine, ammonia, sulphates, or irritating dyes and perfumes. When available, unscented formulas are used: they are ideal for people with asthma, allergies, and skin or respiratory sensitivities.​
-
Planet friendly - We are doing our part to reduce our carbon footprint, which is why all the products we use are made from 100% recyclable materials. They contain organic cleaning agents, are devoid of harmful chemicals, and are 100% biodegradable. Our product manufacturers do not perform any testing on animals, nor use animal by-products, so they’re clean for the planet – and clean for your home or office.
