Eco-Friendly Products: What to Use and Why

Some clients prefer eco-friendly cleaning. As a CleoCrew member, you can bring any products you like, but if a client requests eco-friendly products, they must provide them.

What Are Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products

Eco-friendly products are made with non-toxic, biodegradable ingredients that are safer for people, pets, and the environment. Clients often choose them to avoid harsh chemicals and strong scents.

Examples include:

  • Plant-based all-purpose cleaners for general surfaces

  • Vinegar and baking soda for stain removal and deodorizing

  • Hydrogen peroxide as a disinfectant alternative to bleach

  • Castile soap for floors, counters, and bathrooms

When to Use Eco-Friendly Products

  • Client Request: If a client asks for eco-friendly cleaning, confirm they’ll provide the products. CleoCrew members aren’t required to bring them.

  • Allergy or Sensitivity Concerns: Some clients may have sensitivities to stronger chemicals.

  • Delicate Surfaces: Milder cleaners work best on untreated wood, natural stone, or antique finishes.

Using Standard Cleaning Products

CleoCrew members are free to use their preferred commercial products. When using stronger cleaners:

  • Keep the space ventilated

  • Never mix chemicals unless the label says it’s safe

  • Follow all manufacturer instructions

  • Wear gloves when handling strong disinfectants

Talking with Clients About Eco-Friendly Cleaning

If a client mentions eco-friendly cleaning:

  • Let them know Cleopatra doesn’t require specific products

  • Remind them they’ll need to provide the eco-friendly cleaners

  • Confirm what areas or surfaces the products should be used on

CleoCrew members have full freedom to choose the tools and products that help them do their best work. Clients who prefer eco-friendly cleaning simply need to supply the products they want used.
