Eco-friendly housecleaning service

Although not completely organically related, I thought this review may interest some of you. I had a coworker during lunch today ask me for some recommendations on housecleaning. So I told him several months ago, my home was getting unbarably messy and my bathrooms and kitchen were especially dirty. Work was getting busy, and my boyfriend also didn’t have any time from his hectic startup. So we decided to try housecleaning for the first time. If my parents ever found out (hopefully they are not reading this blog post), they would protest.

But I found a good service called Emma’s Eco-Clean in Redwood City. It’s part of a nonprofit called WAGES which empowers low income women to build a co-op that does enviornmentally friendly cleaning services without toxic chemicals. I paid $70 (after negotiating down as a first time discount) for 2 hours of cleaning in my two bedroom condo. They vacuumed, cleaned my kitchen, bathrooms, and took out the trash and recycling. They did a great job and I’d recommend them. They have other locations that service the East Bay (Natural Home Cleaning) and South Bay (Eco-Care) too.
