Eco-Friendly Products We Use & Why

Why "Green Cleaning" Isn't Just a Marketing Term

Conventional cleaning products often contain VOCs (volatile organic compounds), synthetic fragrances, and harsh chemicals that linger in the air and on surfaces long after cleaning. For families with young children, pets, or respiratory conditions, this matters.

At Verde Luxe, "eco-friendly" isn't a selling point — it's a standard we hold for every job, every client, every time.

What Makes a Product "Eco-Friendly"?

We look for products that are biodegradable, free of phosphates and chlorine bleach, low in VOCs, not tested on animals, and packaged in recyclable or refillable containers.

We also prioritize products that actually work — eco-friendly doesn't mean ineffective. The products we use are hospital-grade clean without the toxic residue.

Product Categories We Use

All-purpose cleaners: plant-based surfactant formulas safe on most hard surfaces. Glass cleaners: streak-free, ammonia-free formulas. Bathroom disinfectants: EPA-registered disinfectants that kill 99.9% of bacteria without chlorine bleach. Floor cleaners: pH-neutral concentrates safe for hardwood, tile, and laminate.

We do not use aerosol sprays with propellants, products with synthetic musks or phthalates, or anything with a 'danger' warning label.

Why It Matters for Your Family

Children and pets are on floors. Babies put their hands in their mouths. People with asthma react to synthetic fragrances. The surfaces in your home are touched dozens of times a day — what you clean them with matters as much as how often you clean them.

Our standard is: if we wouldn't use it in our own homes, we don't use it in yours.

Why It Matters for Southeast Michigan

We're a Michigan company. The Great Lakes, the rivers, the groundwater — they're our backyard. Conventional cleaning chemicals that go down your drain eventually make their way into the water system. Every home we clean is a small choice we can make for the environment we all share.
