Started by a mom-to-be in 2009 who wanted a clean and chemical-free home for her child, ecomaids brings the benefits of green home-cleaning to New Yorkers.

In fact, the company, founded by Ilana Sable, who spearheads the New York location, is that rare professional maid service that uses Green Seal Certified products exclusively.

What are the benefits of green cleaning? Let’s start with what they don’t use:

Bleach (contains sodium hypochlorite, a toxin that can cause causticity, which means it’s capable of burning materials it comes in contact with).
Throwaway plastic bottles and paper towels (they stay in the garbage dump forever).
Oven cleaner (a big no-no, don’t get us started on sodium hydroxide).

What they do use:

Reusable microfiber cloths and mop pads (made up of extremely thin threads of polyester and nylon, when woven together create a surface area that is 40 times larger than that of traditional fibers. This ultimately leads to better absorbency and a cleaner living space for you).
Biodegradables like earthstone, and cleaning liquids from natural compounds.

To get started, all you need to do is go to their website and fill out a form. They’ll quickly get back to you with a free estimate.

All ecomaids cleaning technicians are highly trained — green cleaning is very specific — saving you the hassle of hiring, doing a background check, time-keeping, reporting payroll, and employer taxes.

See their 64-point residential cleaning checklist.

Technicians also carry workers compensation and disability insurance, reducing your liability in case of injury. And they’ve all undergone thorough background checks.

ecomaids currently services Manhattan south of 14th Street and brownstone-belt areas of northwest Brooklyn (Boerum Hill, Brooklyn Heights, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Downtown Brooklyn, DUMBO, and Park Slope).
