| BANG FOR THE BITE | Green cleaning comes at an ever-so-slight premium compared to conventional services, but it's safer for your fam, the earth, and the cleaning people. | COCKTAIL FACTOID | In Jan., a Vietnamese woman who traveled to Taiwan to find her missing dad discovered that she'd worked as his maid for seven months without knowing it was him. | | | Want a cleaning service specially tailored to Biters? The Bite Order in a green maid. It's as easy as phoning up a local service, or asking your current one to use green cleaning products that you provide. Your house'll be lick-the-floor-clean - just the way you like it. The Benefits - Breathing in fewer pollutants. The EPA says indoor air pollution is usually 2-5 times worse than outdoor air pollution, and harsh cleaning chems contribute.
- Fewer eco-hazards. The average janitor uses about 48 lb of hazardous chems per year, which can easily end up in nature.
- Safety for the cleaning peeps. The Janitorial Products Pollution Prevention Project says that each year about 6 out of 100 janitors get sick from the products they use.
Personally Speaking Our new 5-sec rule: The rule applies only if you know the floor was cleaned with a green cleaner. Wanna Try? - Maid Brigade - green cleaning service with over 400 locations nationwide that use nontoxic cleaning chems and reusable microfiber pads instead of disposable ones (about $110, depending on area and house size), among other eco-friendly fixes.
- Yelp - type in your location and "green cleaning" to find a local green maid service.
- DIY Bite: Stock your cabinets with our fave eco-cleaning products and ask your cleaning team to use those products instead of conventional ones.
