With a team that understands the value of reducing harmful chemicals in the home and environment, we ensure a safe and healthy space for you and your family.
In this blog, we’ll discuss the importance of eco-friendly cleaning, the principles behind our practices, and how Maid in the Shade provides safe, sustainable solutions for homes in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, and surrounding areas.
1. The Importance of Eco-Friendly Cleaning
Eco-friendly cleaning is about reducing the impact of cleaning products on the environment and ensuring they are safe for people and pets. Traditional cleaning agents can contain harmful chemicals that linger on surfaces, affecting indoor air quality and posing health risks, especially to children, the elderly, and those with allergies or asthma.
Sustainable cleaning products, on the other hand, are formulated with natural ingredients and are biodegradable, reducing their environmental footprint. By using eco-friendly products, you help:
Improve Indoor Air Quality: Minimize exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other pollutants.
Protect Waterways: Prevent toxic chemicals from contaminating water supplies.
Support Responsible Manufacturing: Promote companies that adhere to ethical production standards.

Ensure Safe Disposal: We responsibly dispose of any waste generated during cleaning.
Additionally, our team is trained to use the right amount of product and water to maximize effectiveness while reducing waste.
3. Benefits of Organic Cleaning Products
Using organic cleaning products has multiple benefits:
Non-Toxic Ingredients: They are free from harsh chemicals, reducing allergic reactions or skin irritation.
Natural Scents: Essential oils replace artificial fragrances, providing a pleasant, natural aroma.
Surface-Safe: They are gentle on delicate surfaces like hardwood, tile, and upholstery.
These benefits ensure your home remains a safe haven while minimizing the environmental impact.
