What does green home cleaning actually mean?

"Green cleaning" has no single legal definition. Companies use it to mean different things, so it helps to know what to ask.

How claims are regulated

In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission's Green Guides say environmental claims must be truthful and backed by evidence. Broad claims such as "eco-friendly" are hard to substantiate, so a careful company says specifically what it means.

Questions to ask any cleaning company

• Which products do you use, and can I see the labels?
• Do you use different products on different surfaces?
• Can you accommodate fragrance-free preferences?
• Do you make claims you can back up with product documentation?

How GentleKept approaches it

We call our approach natural-first. We lead with carefully selected, plant-forward products and use stronger options only where a surface truly needs them. We offer a Fragrance Free finish if you prefer. We do not make blanket safety or performance claims about products beyond what their documentation supports, and we are glad to talk through what we use in your home.

Tips for a gentler home

• Ventilate while cleaning
• Never mix cleaning products
• Read and follow every label
• Tell us about sensitivities when you book
