Eco-Friendly Cleaning in Northern Michigan

Prefer gentler products around kids, pets, and the lakes we all share? Ask for our eco-minded product options on any service.

What this visit is for

We can lean on plant-based or low-odor products when you request them, without giving up on results. Popular with families in Petoskey and Harbor Springs and anyone sensitive to strong chemical smells.

On the checklist

  • Low-tox product options on request
  • Same thorough checklist
  • Safe for most households with pets
  • Available on recurring or one-time visits

Booking & coverage

This work is booked inside our 30-mile radius of ZIP 49749 — Indian River, Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Cheboygan, Gaylord, and the lake towns between.

Use the estimate form or call 231-290-0737. Hosts keep turnovers and invoices in the Customer Portal. Year-round homes usually sit on a weekly or biweekly plan.

Kitchen

  • Counters, sink, and faucet wiped; dishes left in the sink are not washed unless we agreed
  • Appliance exteriors (fridge, oven, dishwasher, microwave door)
  • Stovetop wiped; heavy baked-on grease is a deep-clean or add-on
  • Floor vacuumed and mopped
  • Trash emptied if a liner is available

Bathrooms

  • Toilet, sink, and faucet cleaned
  • Tub or shower wiped; mineral film that needs extra dwell time is called out on deep cleans
  • Mirror and accessible fixtures
  • Floor and base of vanity
  • Trash emptied

Bedrooms & living areas

  • Beds made when linens are left out
  • Reachable dusting of furniture and open surfaces
  • Floors vacuumed; hard floors mopped
  • Light tidy of items already on surfaces — we do not reorganize closets

Throughout the home

  • High-touch points we can reach (switches, handles) on recurring and deep visits
  • Notes you leave in the booking or portal
  • Pets secured by you before we arrive

Optional add-ons

  • Wash-and-fold: on-site machines or $18 a load at our 8-machine shop
  • Dishes and a reset sink when you ask for it on that visit
  • Linen change and beds made with the sets you leave out — or the duplicate sets we bring back
  • Pet-hair pass on furniture and floors (we are not a groomer; this is extra vacuum time)
  • A real tidy-up of toys, mail piles, and couch clutter before the clean starts
  • Hand-wipe of marked walls and door kicks — not a full paint-prep wash
  • Grout and tile extra dwell in the worst bath or entry
  • Blind wipe, priced per blind so a lake-house wall of slats does not surprise the quote
  • Interior window glass and sills, priced per pane
  • Screens washed when they come out without a fight
  • Front entry, porch, or deck sweep so sand does not walk back in
  • Patio furniture wipe after a lake weekend
  • Oven interior, fridge interior, or both
  • Inside cabinets and drawers on an empty or move-out day
  • Garage, mudroom, or bunk-wing extra time
  • Ceiling fans and reachable light fixtures
  • Extra refrigerator or freezer in the garage or bunk house
  • Hot-tub cabinet wipe and cover dust-off (not a spa service)
  • Key pickup / key return when the lockbox is not an option
  • Eco-minded products on that visit only
  • Same-week holiday or open-house reset on top of the standing plan
  • Customer Portal access so you stop texting for the next date and the invoice
  • Residential carpet shampooing — about $50 per average 10×15 room, chemicals included

What we do not include

  • Hoarding or biohazard situations
  • Exterior windows on tall stories or icy roofs
  • Commercial carpet extraction for offices and restaurants (residential shampooing is a separate, priced add-on)
  • Moving furniture heavier than we can safely shift with two people
  • Washing dishes stacked in the sink unless the quote says so
FAQ

Questions about Eco-Friendly Cleaning

Are eco products automatic?

No — ask when you book. We can lean low-odor / plant-based around kids, pets, and lake houses without dropping the checklist.

Will I see the same people?

We keep notes on your house and try to send familiar teams on recurring routes. Peak summer on the lakes sometimes means a trained backup crew — the checklist stays the same.

Can I leave special instructions?

Yes. Put them on the booking form or in the Customer Portal. Alarm codes, lockboxes, rooms to skip, and product preferences all travel with the job.

What if I need to cancel?

Give us as much notice as you can — 48 hours helps the route. Same-day cancels may still be billed when we cannot fill the slot. Call 231-290-0737.

Do you serve only Petoskey?

No. Home base is Indian River (49749). We work Indian River, Petoskey, Cheboygan, Gaylord, Harbor Springs and the lake towns inside 30 miles of 49749.
