Our 3 Steps To Providing An Eco Friendly Cleaning Service


Bristol is a vibrant city known for its creativity and environmental consciousness. As a locally-based cleaning business, we share Bristol's commitment to sustainability. Our cleaning methods prioritise the use of eco-friendly products and practices that reduce our environmental impact.


Here are some ways we achieve this:


1.     Environmentally Safe Cleaning Products 

We use cleaning products that are biodegradable, non-toxic, and free from harsh chemicals, we even make our own vacuum powder which is cost effective, smells fantastic and avoids packaging and shipping! These products are not only safe for the environment but also gentle on your home or office surfaces. This ensures a clean space without harmful residues or strong chemical odours.


2.     Reducing Waste and Single-Use Plastics 

To minimise waste, we avoid single-use plastics and opt for reusable or recyclable cleaning tools. Our cleaning cloths are washable and designed to last, we encourage you to buy eco cloths and sponges that are durable and last a long time saving you money.



3.     Supporting Local and Sustainable Suppliers 

We believe in supporting local businesses and sourcing our cleaning products from sustainable suppliers within Bristol and the UK, we also make our own products. This reduces our carbon footprint and supports the local economy.

Steps you can take from today

  1. Start by finishing your remaining cleaning products that may contain harsh chemicals;

  2. Clean and save the bottles to reuse;

  3. Shop around for what you can buy as a substitute, my advise would be to look for companies with sustainable or eco-friendly accreditation that offer refills and bulk buying.
