Clean Green Maid for a Day GIVEAWAY!

July 26, 2011 By Michelle Barneck 36 Comments

I received an email from my friend Emily a couple of weeks ago asking if I would like to review an eco-friendly cleaning service here in SLC called Ecomaids. Um, yes please! Of course I would like someone to clean for me. Little did I know the events that would transpire during the next week making this not only convenient, but practically heaven sent.

I was excited to not only have someone do the work for me, but have a company who uses green supplies eliminating toxic fumes and excess waste. Like these awesome microfiber cloths that hold 11 times their weight of liquid. I also LOVE that they use a different color cloth for bathrooms, kitchens and other areas. I have an aversion to any kind of cleaning cloth or sponge, so I am I love that they are sensitive to cross-contamination. No bathroom cloths in my kitchen!

And let me tell you my house put them to the test. We had been home a total of 7 days out of the three weeks of July that had passed, pretty much to unpack do laundry and re-pack to leave every few days. They did an initial clean at my house which is a bit more extensive than the routine weekly clean (basically adds on cleaning baseboards and doors), though I was shocked at some of the items on the checklist!

For instance, they wipe down every piece of furniture removing every knick knack. They took out every item when they cleaned the shower.

They cleaned chair rails, light switches, and dusted ceiling fan blades! Hoorah!

I was totally loving the Ghostbuster flashback vacuum. They believe in capturing all the dust with their hepa filter vacuums and microfiber cloths, not just pushing it all around with brooms or feather dusters. They also take off their shoes and wear house shoes inside so they never track dirt or pesticides inside.

My favorite thing by far is how they made my son’s bed. AMAZING! I can’t even get the bedspread to look like that. The mattress is insanely snug in the frame. The bunk beds were made for my husband by his Dad when he was young and the mattresses barely, seriously, barely fit. I was seriously impressed with this one.

Oh, and if you leave new linens they will put them on the bed for you. And they fold the toilet paper in a fancy little triangle, which I love.

I’m happy as a clam. I have very few complaints, but to be fair I will share.

  • I wish they followed up some of the dusting with a damp cloth. Particularly, on my ceiling fans in my great room and blinds in the kitchen where they tend to get a little filmy.
  • The price is a bit high for me to do weekly clean. I would totally do an initial clean like they did this time a few times a year for holidays, spring cleaning, party preparation, moving, etc.

The cool thing is that ECOMAIDS allows you to customize your program to your budget. You can have them come weekly or one time. They don’t require you to sign up for any kind of schedule.

Wouldn’t you love to see these smiling faces at your door? A big thanks to Chris and Paige for a job well done on a house that started out full of summertime cleaning neglect.

    Biggest mess I’ve had to clean was when my husband tried to make Baba Ganoush (no kidding–not sure what got into him) in the blender WITHOUT the lid. Yes, Baba Ganoush on the ceiling…on the cabinet doors…on the walls….pretty much everywhere.

    Okay, so the biggest mess I ever had to clean up was when my oldest son was about 18 months and he locked me out of the apartment, on the second story of coarse, and I had just found out I was pregnant. While I watched through the glass doors I got to watch him proceed to take off his own diaper and start smearing poo all over the love sac we had and the glass door I was watching through. We no longer live in that apartment and i now look back and laugh, but oh my… that was the WORST mess I have EVER had to clean up!

    Thanks for the chance to win! Biggest mess – probably an old syrup container in the back of the pantry that cracked and then leaked … and leaked … and leaked …

    The worst mess I ever had to clean up was when my son was about 11 months old. He woke up from a nap with a poopy diaper and instead of letting me know he was awake he decided to take off his diaper and “Paint” the crib and the walls his mattress with it. GROSS!!!

    This wasn’t even one of my kids…I must take the blame! Put a hot pan of brownies on the stove to cool, and forgot that the burner I set it on was hot too! The pan exploded and there was glass and brownies splattered over two rooms! Not fun!
