5 - Q: How did you get started doing this type of work?
5 - A: We've always felt a home should be clean, neat and orderly. A clean home is a healthier home and alleviates anxiety and stress.
We specifically started Cleen Green to provide eco-conscious people with a cleaning company that minimizes its impact on our planet by using eco-safe products free of carcinogens, reproductive/developmental toxins, and toxins harmful to aquatic life.6 - Q: What is a recent cleaning we provided that we are proud of? How long did it take?
6 - A: We recently provided a deep cleaning service to an elderly client. She was 92 years young and hadn’t been able to do much cleaning in the past 15 years due to mobility challenges.
Two of Cleen Green’s cleaning experts, Robert and Terrance, spent a total of 10 hours thoroughly cleaning up dust, cobwebs and grease that had accumulated over the years. Cleen Green’s cleaning experts were enamored to see the client’s face when she saw the total transformation of her home. Not only was her home cleaner, but it was also a healthier home to live in. Because a home’s surfaces can harbor harmful viruses and bacteria that can remain for up to 5 months.

1 - Q: What advice would we give to someone looking to hire a cleaning company in Reno, Sparks or Washoe County, Nevada?
A: We recommend not settling for in-and-out cleaning companies. Quality is never quick. All other housekeeping companies charge hourly, so if they’re not efficient, you’ll pay more.
Ask the cleaning company what exactly will a service include. Will they clean baseboards? Will they clean windows, window frames, and window sills? Will they move my furniture to clean behind and underneath?
Am I really getting the best service for what I'm paying?2 - Q: What questions should customers think through before hiring someone to clean their home or business?
A: What does clean mean to me? When was the last time my home or business was deep cleaned, got all the nooks, crannies and hard to reach areas cleaned?
Do I have large items, such as large plants and statues, that need to be moved so all areas can be cleaned?
Do I have pets? Is my home or business in a gated community that needs an access code for entry?
Are there vaulted ceilings in my home or business? Will someone be there to let the housekeeper in?

A: No. We can arrange a key agreement, so a cleaning expert can provide housekeeping services while you’re away from home

4 - Q: What is the best way to clean baked on grease (carbon build up) on a stove?
A: White vinegar’s acidity helps to break down baked-on grease and debris. Try spraying it directly on the grease stain, first, and wiping clean with a rag. A stronger solution can be made by making a paste of baking soda and vinegar, mix two parts baking soda to one part vinegar, to make a spreadable paste that you can use to cover those hard spots on the interior and top of the oven. For really hard baked on grease, we recommend using a pumice stone, such as Pumie’s cleaning stone.
5 - Q: What is the best way to clean the stain ring in my toilet?A: A pumice stone would be the best recommendation and quickest way to get rid of stain rings.
6 - Q: What is an enviro-friendly product that I can use to clean my windows or mirrors and get them streak-free?
A: A one to one (1:1) mixture of rubbing alcohol, ideally the higher the percentage the better, and additive free (no added minerals) distilled water will cut through most smears on glass. And because the mix is 50% alcohol, you’ll notice that the liquid will evaporate fairly quickly and leave a streak-free surface.
