Can you tell me more about GreenStar Home Cleaning?
GreenStar is a professional, insured and bonded residential cleaning service. When you use GreenStar you can be assured you are not at risk for taxes and liability for our employees. GreenStar maintains appropriate liability insurance, complies with all tax laws and provides worker compensation insurance. If, and when, we hire third-party contractors we ensure they comply with all tax and insurance requirements as well.
We use non-toxic, environmentally safe products and practices to clean your home. GreenStar is made up of like-minded people who believe in eco-friendliness, sustainability and keeping our planet free of toxins. We believe harsh and toxic chemicals are never needed to maintain a clean home. We use eco-friendly products certified by Green Seal and GreenGuard. These products clean as well, if not better than, conventional cleaning products. GreenStar also endeavors to produce no waste by never using paper and disposable cleaning tools. We use microfiber cleaning cloths and mops instead. Microfiber is a scientific-weave that cleans better, traps toxins and germs and lasts longer than conventional paper and cotton cloths. Microfiber also allows us to use less cleaning solution and no-rinse formulas thereby helping to minimize water use.
GreenStar is a locally-owned and operated small business in High Point, NC (a Piedmont Triad metro community). We are proud to serve the community in which we live.
Do you have a Guarantee?
Do we ever! We stand 200% behind our "Perfect Clean" guarantee. We guarantee a perfect cleaning every time or we give you your money back plus we'll send the same amount to your favorite charity. How is that for a guarantee? We are so confident that you will experience the GreenStar difference, love our service and recommend us to your family and friends that we are offering a guarantee you'll be hard-pressed to find elsewhere. Our competition will guarantee their service by offering to come back to your home to re-clean. To us that is simply not enough. It doesn't cost our competition much to re-clean your home if you are not happy. We believe a true guarantee must be one that has a substantial financial risk for us. Our guarantee keeps us on our toe's, your home sparkling clean and you happy. Complete information regarding our "Perfect Clean" guarantee can be found on your copy of the Service Agreement.
Isn't your service more expensive because you practice "green" cleaning?
Absolutely not. As a matter of fact, our services cost the same, if not less than, conventional cleaning services. GreenStar provides traditional residential cleaning services -- just with non-toxic cleaning products and methods.
Why hire GreenStar to clean my home?
People hire GreenStar for many reasons. The number one reason is to save valuable time. You can save countless hours on dreaded housework. It seems that life just keeps moving at a faster pace. It is easy for valuable, personal, or family time to get shortened. Hiring GreenStar can give you back some of that time. People also hire GreenStar because they are concerned about their environment -- home and earth. Hiring GreenStar can be just the beginning for your family to take a stand and make a change; to contribute and participate in the "Green-movement".
How Much Will It Cost?
Every home is different and has different cleaning requirements. Factors such as the size of the home, types of flooring, number of bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas all affect the overall formula we use to determine the price for cleaning your home.
We believe we provide a service that fits in most everyone's budget. Cleaning a home is a tedious and time-consuming effort. Think about what the time saved by outsourcing your cleaning is worth to you. Perhaps it means more time you can spend with your family, pursuing a hobby, or simply relaxing after a stressful week at work.
Our business is green home cleaning, but what we really offer is valuable time-savings. In addition, organizations such as the EPA state that a consistently clean home is a healthy home. A clean home can contribute to your family's overall health -- especially those with small children, allergy sufferers and pet owners. Regularly-scheduled cleanings for an average home will typically not cost more than a nice dinner for two. If you think of the time you save and the health benefits gained that is truly a bargain!

I have pets. Is that OK?
GreenStar loves pets! However, cleaning and pets do not always go hand-in-hand. We ask that you gate or crate your animal(s), or place them in a room that will not be cleaned, when we are servicing your home. GreenStar cannot be responsible for pets that escape, have special needs, make a mess, etc..
What about laundry, dishes, litter boxes, carpet cleaning, etc.?
GreenStar is a professional cleaning service. We are not a janatorial or maid service. We will be happy to refer you to reputable area businesses for these needs.
