Green isn’t a promise.
It’s what we carry in.

Better Life products for everyday cleaning — glass, floors, wood, stainless steel, granite and stone, and the kitchen and bath scrubber — all brought by us.

For a small number of specific jobs the teams also carry conventional products: a peroxide cleaner, a bathroom cleaner, a mild abrasive powder, toilet bowl cleaner, and bleach or a bleach cleanser for stains. If you want any of them left out of your home, tell the office before the visit.

Happy Maids does not claim a certification, and does not hold one for its cleaning service. What we can tell you is exactly what we bring and who is trained on it.

We would rather be checkable than impressive. The everyday products are Better Life, supplied by us, and the exceptions are named on this page rather than buried.

No, and we will not say it is. The everyday products are eco-friendly, but a bleach cleanser still comes out for a stain that needs it.

A cleaning company that tells you it uses nothing but water and good intentions is either not cleaning your toilet properly or not telling you what is in the caddy. Ask to see the list — ours is above.

Yes. Let the office know before the visit and leave them out for the team.

Two things go with that, and both are in the published Happy Maids policies: we cannot assure the usual standard with a product our teams are not trained on, and anything you supply is used at your own risk, including damage to a surface or to your own equipment. Full detail on the Happy Maids policies page.

Happy Maids does not make safety claims about any product, and no cleaning company honestly can. What we can do is give you control over what comes in.

• Tell the office which products you do not want used, and they stay on the truck
• Supply your own for any surface you feel strongly about
• Close the door on any room you want left alone — a closed door means the team does not go in
• Tell the office about pets in advance, for their safety and the crew's

No. Happy Maids provides every product and every tool, vacuums included.

The one exception is a linen change, which is an add-on charged per bed: lay the clean set on each bed before we arrive, and your closets stay private. Used linens are left in the laundry room — Happy Maids does not do laundry.

Green cleaning is not a separate service you add on — the products come with the team on every visit, so there is nothing extra to choose.

What sets the price of a visit is the size of the home, the number of bathrooms, its condition, and how often we come. For a ballpark, try the estimate tool; for the exact figure, call 847-382-0082.

Better Life products, brought by us — a dedicated floor cleaner, a wood polish, a granite and stone cleaner and a stainless steel polish, plus a glass cleaner and a kitchen and bath scrubber.

If you have a product you trust on a particular surface, tell the office and leave it out for the team. We will use it, with the caveats above about standard and liability.
