Gang Green
From The Daily Candy on August 28, 2007
You’re something of a green goddess — wearing bamboo T-shirts, carrying groceries in a canvas tote, biking to work. So, since cleanliness is next to godliness, boost your ecodeity status by hiring The Green Mop, an earth-friendly cleaning service...that aims to be environmentally and socially responsible.
They’ll clean your home or office top to bottom using only eco-friendly and sustainable products, including homemade solutions such as lemon juice and salt to clean the coffee maker; a mixture of soap, tea tree oil, and water for antiseptic spray; and baking soda and essential oil to deodorize carpets.
As if they weren’t simplifying your life enough, they bring all their own supplies and equipment and let you submit payment online. Oh, and they support nonprofits like the Sierra Club, too.
Not that they have a god complex or anything.
Green Is Cleaning Up
Excerpt from The Washington Post on Thursday, April 19, 2007
By Jura Koncius
You know the eco-revolution has turned a corner when lemons start challenging Lysol.
In the cleaning aisle at the neighborhood grocery, small companies that for years have marketed environmentally friendly dish detergents and floor cleaners are being joined by the industry giants. Even Procter & Gamble and Unilever are selling sustainability in smaller bottles that use less plastic.
This week, retailing giant Home Depot rolled out Eco Options, a designation for 2,500 products in its stores — including cleaning supplies such as biodegradable glass cleaners and water-saving washing machines — to help consumers identify eco-sensitive choices.
Cleaning products are among the fastest-growing green categories, according to Ron Jarvis, Home Depot’s vice president of environmental innovation. “They used to be twice the cost and half the benefits,” he says. “Consumers will buy green if it does everything a standard product does and has less impact on the environment.”
The owner of the Green Mop housekeeping service in Arlington, has seen her young company thrive by relying on purely green cleaning agents — mostly the lemons, baking soda and vinegar her Philippine mother used.
“I started as a green company in 2003 and never deviated,” says the owner, who came to America to attend graduate school. Today she has 18 employees and more than 100 customers. “My customers at first are skeptical that their houses can be really clean without using lots of chemicals, but then they see results. Lots of my clients have kids or pets or allergies or compromised immune systems. Plus they care about the environment.”
(Two) lawyers who live on Capitol Hill have used Green Mop services for a year. “It’s the best housecleaning service I’ve ever had,” one says. “I think most indoor environments are more polluted than the outside, and household cleaners are a big part of this.”
Making a Green Sweep Cleans Up

Arlington, Va.-based service The Green Mop, which uses natural cleansers such as lemons, vinegar and baking soda, launched in 2007 and has 25 employees and more than 260 clients.
“We are very busy,” the owner says. “We were overwhelmed (after Al Gore’s 2006 film, An Inconvenient Truth), and from then on, it just grew.”
