Always mean to mix your own green cleaning products from scratch — then end up getting overwhelmed and never cleaning the house? This, I imagine, happens a lot — because I really get a lot of friends and readers ask me if I know of an affordable green cleaning service. The answer is yes! Try Greener Cleaner Los Angeles.
We’ve got a handful of green cleaning companies in L.A. now (more on these in a future post), but Greener Cleaner’s the most affordable one that I’ve found — though prices, unfortunately, aren’t listed on the website (the company says they’re planning to update the site).
Basically, rates are $50 an hour for 2 cleaners — $75 for 3 — and how long the cleaning process takes depends on the size and state of your place. After the first visit, you’re given a service invoice with discount prices for recurring cleaning service. Sign up for weekly service, and you get a whopping 40% off the $50 per hour price! Even monthly service will net you a 10% discount on each visit.
Last Friday, my apartment got cleaned Greener Cleaner style. Friendly cleaners showed up — in Greener Cleaner polo shirts — with HEPA vaccums, self-mixed cleaning concoctions and products from Seventh Generation and Dr. Bronner’s in tow. When they cleaned the windows, I could smell the vinegar! Of course, no harsh chemicals were used. In the end, my apartment smelled not of bleach and 409 but like orange oil and lemons — the real stuff, not artificial fragrances!
Some of my windows and blinds were cleaned for the first time in years! I discovered my glass coffee table’s actually a lot more reflective than I thought it was! Julio, one of the cleaners, said as he was leaving that I should start “feeling a lot better”: “It looked pretty clean when we came in but there was quite a lot of dust.” True –
Want your own place green cleaned? Fill out that estimate quote form — or just call to arrange a visit. For the curious, the Greener Cleaner Los Angeles website has detailed info on ingredients and brands used for cleaning products, cancellation policy, and specific cleaning services. Be warned though — Annoying music will automatically start playing as soon as you visit the site.

Hey Siel! I’m glad you liked your all natural green clean! And thanks for the constructive criticism on the music, I guess everyone else has just been lying to us, lol. Note: There is a button to turn off the music at the bottom of the page.
Hey Hybrid drivers, we’re giving you $25 off your first green clean. Happy green living!
