Natural, effective, and market‑ready cleaning—without harsh chemicals.

Why Go Green When You’re Getting Ready to Sell?

Buyers love homes that feel fresh, healthy, and well‑kept. Eco‑friendly cleaners reduce strong odors, cut allergens, and protect finishes in our South Florida climate. Bonus: they photograph well—no heavy residue or streaks on glossy surfaces.

Core Eco Ingredients That Actually Work

  • Distilled Water The base for most DIY sprays—prevents mineral spots.
  • Unscented Castile Soap Gentle, biodegradable, great for everyday wipe‑downs.
  • Baking Soda Mild abrasive for sinks, grout lines, and deodorizing.
  • White Vinegar Cuts grease and soap scum—avoid on marble, travertine, and other natural stones.
  • Rubbing Alcohol (70%) Fast‑evaporating glass and stainless helper—spot test first.
  • Microfiber Cloths Reusable, streak‑free results on mirrors and fixtures.

Stone counters & floors: use a pH‑neutral stone cleaner—vinegar and lemon can etch.

Room‑by‑Room Green Cleaning Game Plan

Kitchen
  • Degrease cabinets with diluted castile soap; dry immediately to protect finishes.
  • Stainless: a little alcohol on microfiber for smudges, then a light food‑safe oil to finish.
  • Garbage disposal: ice + baking soda + a citrus peel rinse for a fresh smell.
Bathrooms
  • Soap scum: warm vinegar (non‑stone showers) + a sprinkle of baking soda; rinse well.
  • Grout brightening: baking soda paste, gentle scrub, then a clear rinse.
  • Glass: alcohol + distilled water for streak‑free mirrors.
Floors
  • Tile/LVP: warm water + a few drops of castile soap; avoid over‑wetting.
  • Natural stone: pH‑neutral stone cleaner only; microfiber mop.
  • Hardwood: manufacturer‑approved cleaner; never standing water.
Air Quality & Odor Control
  • Open windows morning or evening for a short cross‑breeze.
  • Swap HVAC filter, wipe vents, and keep fragrances subtle for showings.
  • Deodorize soft goods: light baking soda sprinkle on rugs, vacuum after 30 minutes.

Fast “List‑Ready” Checklist

  1. Declutter counters and floors—clear sightlines make rooms feel bigger.
  2. Deep clean kitchens/baths; polish fixtures and glass.
  3. Neutralize pet and cooking odors; wash throw blankets and slipcovers.
  4. Touch up high‑traffic walls and baseboards; replace any burnt bulbs.
  5. Finish with curb appeal: sweep entry, clean door glass, fresh doormat.
