A Safer Way to Clean

More people today are choosing to live healthier lives—and that starts at home. One simple change you can make is switching to eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products.

At Clean and Hale Services, we use our 5-Step Healthy Cleaning System that’s safe for your family, effective against dirt and germs, and gentle on the environment. As a registered nurse, I created this system to make sure we’re not just cleaning homes but doing it in a way that truly supports your health and wellbeing.

Why Choose Non-Toxic, Eco-Friendly Cleaning?

  • Healthier Air Quality-Traditional cleaners often release strong fumes and chemicals. Non-toxic products help keep your indoor air fresh and breathable.

  • Safer for Kids and Pets- Children and pets are more sensitive to chemical exposure. Eco-friendly cleaning reduces that risk by avoiding harsh residues.

  • Better for the Environment- Plant-based and biodegradable products don’t harm waterways or wildlife, and they break down safely over time.

  • Reduces Allergies and Irritation- Many cleaning products trigger allergies, skin reactions, and even asthma. Choosing safer alternatives helps reduce those risks.

  • Still Gets the Job DoneNon-toxic doesn’t mean weak. With the right products and methods, you still get a deep clean—just without the health concerns.


Simple Tips for a Greener Clean

  • Clean from Top to Bottom, Cleanest to Dirtiest- This method prevents spreading dirt and helps make the clean more efficient.

  • Use Microfiber Cloths- These grab and hold onto dust and dirt, reducing the need for strong sprays and minimizing waste.

  • Skip Synthetic Fragrances- Stick to products that are fragrance-free or use essential oils for a natural, safer scent.

  • Label and Store Safely- Keep all your cleaning products properly labeled and out of reach of children. Store them in a cool, dry place.

  • Be Consistent- Regular cleaning with non-toxic products keeps your space healthier and reduces the need for heavy-duty scrubbing later.


Cleaning Every Room the Safer Way

  • Kitchen- Wipe benches and sinks with food-safe sprays. Clean the fridge with gentle deodorizers, and degrease stovetops without chemical fumes.

  • Bathroom- Use natural scrubs to remove soap scum and buildup. Disinfect toilets and sinks without bleach and get streak-free mirrors without harsh sprays.

  • Living Room- Dust with microfiber cloths and vacuum using HEPA filters to reduce allergens. Freshen up carpets with non-toxic deodorizers.

  • Windows and Mirrors- Use plant-based glass cleaners that give a clear shine without leaving chemical residue.
