Create a Healthier Home With Cleaning

Create a Healthier Home With Cleaning Gone GreenThe global climate crisis has caused people to re-evaluate how their everyday activities affect the environment. Whether it's individuals or multinational corporations doing right by the environment, the same green concepts are consistent throughout: reduce, reuse and recycle, and choose environmentally friendly products in the process. That is also the goal of The Cleaning Authority, Inc., a leading housecleaning service with independently owned and operated franchised locations throughout the U.S.

"The Cleaning Authority provides top quality cleaning and has made the commitment to become a more environmentally responsible housecleaning company. It's the right thing to do and we want to make a difference by doing our part to protect the world we live in," said Steve Robinson, CEO of The Cleaning Authority.

Cleaning your home can put yourself, your children, your pets, and the environment at risk. That's because many cleaning products are full of chemicals harmful to the environment. Also, many individuals fail to dispose of leftover chemical products correctly. That means chemicals make their way into the water systems and soil of many areas.

The company cleans approximately 2 million homes annually, which equals approximately 16 million drains and/or toilets that are receiving the housecleaning chemicals. The Cleaning Authority's participating franchised locations are committed to using Green Seal-certified (www.greenseal.org) housecleaning chemicals, HEPA vacuums, and microfibers.

If you are thinking about using a cleaning service for your home, here are some factors to consider:

-- Ask if they are planning to use environmentally friendly chemicals to ensure water supplies are not tainted by harsh toxins.

-- Ensure they use re-usable cleaning cloths that can be tossed in a washing machine rather than using roll after roll of paper towels while cleaning.

-- Think about hiring a professional cleaning service that respects the environment. It will free up your time to spend with the family and allow you to feel good about their service.

-- Ensure that the professional housecleaners are trained, bonded and insured.
