Green cleaning that actually works (and the myths that don't)

Which eco-friendly products earn their place in a professional kit, and which internet hacks damage your home.
We clean homes with kids, pets and sensitive lungs, so low-toxicity products aren't a marketing angle for us — they're a working requirement. But 'natural' doesn't automatically mean effective or safe.
What earns a spot in the kit
Microfibre does most of the heavy lifting: with plain water it removes the large majority of surface bacteria mechanically. Beyond that we carry a neutral-pH floor cleaner, a citric-acid descaler for hard water, a plant-based degreaser for kitchens, and hydrogen peroxide for stain lifting.
Myths that damage homes
Vinegar on natural stone etches it permanently. Baking soda scrubbed on glass cooktops leaves fine scratches. Castile soap plus vinegar cancel each other out into a curdled mess. And never mix bleach with anything containing ammonia — that's a hospital visit, not a hack.
Fragrance-free is a feature
A home should smell like nothing when we leave. Heavy scent is often used to signal 'clean' where soil was left behind. If you're sensitive to fragrance, note it on your booking and we'll switch the whole kit.
Microfibre, the right pH, and patience beat every miracle spray on the shelf.
