Offer eco-friendly house cleaning using non-toxic, natural products you bring yourself. Many families want green cleaning but do not want to research products. Charge a $5-10 premium over standard rates because of the specialty. Use vinegar, baking soda, castile soap, and plant-based cleaners. Market to families with young kids and pets — they care the most about chemical exposure.
🚀 First Step
Mix up a basic green cleaning kit with vinegar, baking soda, and castile soap, then post on Nextdoor targeting parents who want chemical-free home cleaning.
  • Make your own all-purpose spray with vinegar, water, and lemon — it costs pennies and works great
  • List every ingredient you use so allergic clients can check before you arrive
  • Market specifically to families with crawling babies and pets who lick the floors
