Our Environmental “Healthy Touch®”
The Maids Home Services began using environmentally preferable products in 1995 after two years of extensive research with industry experts. Our Healthy Touch® system focuses on health and incorporates three components that work intrinsically together - a HEPA filtration, multiple-filtered backpack vacuum, environmentally safe cleaning products, and a systematically engineered cleaning method. All three parts work together to reduce allergy-triggering contaminants in the home such as dust mites, dander, bacteria, pollen and other pollutants.
Chosen for their safety, our environmentally preferred products are biodegradable, using bio-based ingredients for a natural, safe cleaning alternative. In choosing our environmentally preferred products, we consider their effects on human health and safety, ecological toxicity and environmental impact. Specifically, our environmentally preferred products are non-toxic, non-flammable and do not contain carcinogens, irritants, sensitizers or chemicals known to damage the environment. This assures that the environmentally preferred products are safe when used around pets and kids, while also addressing the safety of our professional cleaners and still meeting and exceeding our clients’ expectations.
In first time cleans, and depending on the cleanliness of the home, The Maids may need to sparingly use stronger products to bring a home to the level of service and satisfaction for which we are known. Please contact your local provider if you have specific questions on the products that will be used in your home.
The Maids comprehensive cleaning approach also includes tools, equipment and procedures that eliminate waste and protect the environment. For instance, The Maids minimizes water and paper waste, using proprietary cleaning procedures and equipment that is environmentally conscious. Attention is given to our processes and procedures that ultimately emphasize resource conservation. For example, we utilize reusable microfiber cloths, instead of disposable cloths. We also wash and reuse cleaning materials and containers to reduce unnecessary disposal.
The intention of The Maids is to provide a clean, healthy home while still protecting the environment from hazardous toxins and unnecessary waste. Our environmentally preferred products and practices follow Environmental Protection Agency recommendations, and are recognized for their consideration of the environment.
