NEVER STOP GIVING BACK

We received a call on a Sunday night from a lady who was taking her mom out of physical rehab the next day. Her mother sadly enough has cancer and she had come to see her. When she saw her mother’s home she realized her parents really needed help. She thought our green Eco-friendly service was a good fit for a mother with cancer. In speaking to her I scheduled the cleaningimmediately for the following day while knowing our girls were booked. I let my Monday clients know we had an emergency and asked if could we change their times a bit. Everyone agreed. We went and took care of the home. In speaking with my partners we decided we were going to gift this cleaning. We work with an Alzheimer’s Foundation as well and donate there, so we understand the value of giving back. I let the girls that cleaned the house know about this lady’s situation and that they would be paid but we were not going to bill. Edith, one of the girls, immediately said “Cora I will donate my time.” We are not saints but this was such a great feeling to help someone and see how caring our crew is as well. I always take pride in saying I train girls to do detailed work. I can not train kindness. Green Clean not only provides excellent service to the best to our ability but we also care about our clients.

Thank you, all our clients, for if not for your referrals and great reviews we would not be a 5 star company, nor would we have tripled our business in one year. We try to treat everyone with respect. Taking care of our clients our crews and trying to keep everyone happy is very important to us.

Q&A With Patty Vaughn

Q&A: Patty Vaughn

Q&A: Patty Vaughn

For one client, Green Clean’s commercial and home cleaning services are key to

keeping the medical office she manages spotless and her home in top shape.

Question:  Why did you select Green Clean over other residential cleaning services?

Answer:  I met with the representatives of Green Clean and was impressed with their

professionalism and the variety of home cleaning services they provide. Plus, the

products they use are good for the environment, and that’s important to me.

Green Clean is known for sending the same crew consistently.

Question:  What have you come to appreciate about your crew?

Answer:  I have had the same two-person crew since I started with the company. They’re

friendly, trustworthy and thorough, and I know that if I asked them to do a little

extra scrub here, or some extra polishing there, they’d do it happily.

How frequently does Green Clean take care of your home?

Question:  Do they handle your commercial cleaning needs, as well?

Answer:  Green Clean cleans my home twice a month and my office twice a week.

Question:  How did Green Clean tailor its services to your specific cleaning needs?

Answer:  For my office, it is important to have patient areas expertly sanitized. For the

employee areas, it’s important not to have the work disturbed or moved.

Green Clean meets those expectations, and I find that their commercial cleaning

services are as wonderful as their home cleaning services.

Question:  Why is using Eco-friendly products important to you?

Answer:  As a grandparent and as someone who helps care for the patients who visit our

office, I know that the fewer chemicals and toxins we have in our environment,

the better. I appreciate that the products Green Clean uses to clean my home

and office are free of VOCs and other nasty chemicals and compounds.

Question:  If you could describe Green Clean in three words, what would those words be?

Answer:  Thorough, friendly, fantastic!

Question:  Home cleaning services are an investment. How does Green Clean make

that investment worth it?

Answer:  Green Clean saves me time and makes coming home to a clean house really

special. That’s a really good investment. Running a small business and a

household means that time is particularly valuable to me. Green Clean gives me

a little extra time to spend doing things I enjoy, rather than cleaning my home

and office. Plus, their pricing is so competitive, that it’s worth it on every level.

Holidays Cleaning Stress

It’s no secret that the holiday season can trigger stress. Just thinking of it — the  shopping, the food preparation, the family visits, the top-to-bottom home cleaning  can make your heart beat a little faster and your head start to pound the way it does when you know that one nutty family member is coming to dinner.

Stress is so prevalent in the United States, in fact, that 77 percent of Americans feel it at least once a week, according to a recently released Huffington Post survey. Ninety-one percent of those polled felt stress within the past month, and those numbers are compounded during the holidays. What’s one of the top reasons? A lack of home organization and cleanliness.

            

While Green Clean Phoenix can’t tackle your holiday cooking or shopping or manage that nutty family member, we can help manage the mess. Our home cleaning services can be customized to meet your specific needs, but they always include:

-          Environmentally friendly, non-toxic products

-          A professional, on-time crew

-          Detailed cleaning

Sure, home cleaning services are an investment, but you might commit to a regular cleaning schedule with Green Clean Phoenix as an investment in your mental and physical health. Once your home is clean and clutter-free, you’re more likely to want to keep it that way, according to the same Huffington Post study, reducing your chances of remaining a stress statistic.

The kitchen is the center of the family house  . we used to spent hours there every day. it is also the most important room for cleaning, and not only once a week when the team of "green clean phoenix" is  coming...   it must be cleaned  every day!

1. Dirty kitchen will become a center of illness in no time , and not just because of rotten food, but  also because of food that left on the counter or on the floor which will attract roaches and others to the party! who knows what these guys are carrying with them...

2. Save on your electric bill, YES, i know it's sounds crazy but think about it, if you have dust which all of us have in our homes ,if we don't clean it than the refrigerator doors are not sealed ,air is coming in and out  and that will cost you money, same idea with other appliances.  very important to clean the gasket .change the filters .

3. Entertain your guests with no fear! i know it is funny but when your family or friends are coming over it does look better for you if your kitchen looks good. and that is a fact!

4. Your appliances will survive for a longer time, if they be cleaned regularly (no chemicals).

5. If you see or smell rotten food, get it out of the house ASAP.    major reason for illness. packaging the food is always a good idea.

6. Clean kitchen is also safe kitchen. when dirty and oily chances of catching fire are much higher.

7. Do not buy food for two or three weeks in advance, shop every two to three days . the food will be fresh and  with less chances to get rotten or not be used at all.

8. Educate your family and friends!!!

Few points to keep your kitchen clean

• Wash hands before and after handling food.
• Wash cutting boards with hot, soapy water every time you use them. Discard cutting boards with deep scoring or gouges.
• Wash hands after touching your nose, mouth and eyes.
• Wash hands after making raw meat and eggs.
• Keep household cleaners away from food prep areas.
• Don't forget to clean gadgets you use for food prep : meat thermometers, measuring cups, measuring spoons, can openers, sieves,blenders, colanders,wooden spoons, cookie sheets and spoon rests. If it touches perishable foods, it need to be cleaned.
• Dispose of spoiled food . Never keep leftovers in the refrigerator more than four days.
• Refrigerate perishable foods after no more than two hours at room temperature.
• Food item that looks and smells off in any way, pitch it.

All the home cleaning and especially in the kitchen area is recommended to be done by green products ,non toxic products,like baking soda and vinegar . do not clean your food with chemicals and do not keep chemicals in your kitchen for safety reasons ,be very careful when having kids and pets .

Aldea Montessori School Going Green

About a week ago “Green Clean Phoenix” partners were invited to a parents meeting at the “Aldea Montessori School” in phoenix. i must say we did not know what to expect since we do not meet with parents but only the person in charge or managers of the facilities we clean.  it was amazing evening lots of questions,ideas and stories that makes us feel pretty good about what we do for our clients, we felt that we have partners on our cause to make the world a better place by changing is in very small steps and do it in the our close circle to us.    i think that education is very much the same ,when i look at kids including mine, they always had better results when they had better teachers and smaller classes.  make the teacher care about your kids and also the other way around, but in a big system like most of the schools today,many kids just cannot excel. “Aldea Montessori School” is perfect example for it . when i saw how Donna operate with the parents and the kids ,it was amazing,the kids are always smiling to her and seems very happy and also give her a lot of respect, i saw how the parents and Donna interact with each other when only the benefit of the kids is in front of their eyes. very impressive!!!   Donna told the parents about us and how much she loves the way we clean the school.   she also told a story about a kid she used to have in the school that had spacial needs and every time he touched a furniture that was cleaned with chemicals ,he will start to scream! that is one of the reasons she applied for a change of the cleaning products to green Eco friendly products,which she got .  at “Green Clean Phoenix” we believe in the same values.     we have decided to push this forward and to give back to “Aldea Montessori School” $10 for each time that a parent from the school will use our cleaning services .
