WHAT MAKES OUR SERVICE DIFFERENT?

NON-TOXIC PRODUCTS
The toxic chemicals contained in conventional cleaning products have the ability to disrupt both the health of the environment and the health of our own bodies in ways we are only beginning to understand. What we do know is that toxins build up in the cells of our bodies (a process called bio-accumulation) as we are exposed to them.  Although the effects of this build-up are hard to pinpoint, it is suspected that toxic exposure to the chemicals in cleaning products causes, or at least aggravates, disease, birth defects and allergies. It is only logical what happens when these are leaked to the larger eco-system. Thankfully, there are many wonderful non-toxic 'alternatives' (they'll be the norm soon!) out there and when we clean your home, we do so with the safest, most effective cleaning solutions on the market.

A few more green cleaning facts are listed at the bottom of this page. Feel free to contact us for further information.




Magic Cleaning Service is a proud distributor of Get Clean by Shaklee, a line of non-toxic, high effective cleaning supplies. To learn more to purchase these supplies, visit our online store.


RESPONSIBLE PRACTICES
Our unique approach to cleaning extends beyond the elimination of toxins. We almost always buy recycled or low-impact supplies such as recycled buckets, natural fiber brooms, recycled cotton rags and organic cotton uniforms. We instruct our cleaners to limit their use of paper and plastic products and they are also trained to turn off lights and not let faucets run unnecessarily  - all things that are largely common sense, but commonly overlooked!


AROMATHERAPY
The use of essential oils to relax, refresh and renew is an age-old practice and we think it's a perfect way to enhance the cleansing process. Our cleaners use portable electronic diffusers that send gentle scents through each room of your home as it is cleaned. They will also mist sheets and bedcovers with a subtle, yet soothing linen spray, sure to encourage a restful sleep.
Organic Lavender oil is used for its calming effect and Organic Lemongrass for its fresh, uplifting quality. Feel free to make request for other oils, or to supply your own!


SPECIALTY VACUUM
Magic Cleaning's HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) vacuums are able to trap very fine dust particles that are too small to see (vacuuming with a regular household vacuum will not remove these particles). HEPA's were invented to de-contaminate areas that contain lead but they are now popular for home use as they provide allergy relief. A HEPA is also effective in protecting children from inhaling or ingesting dangerous particles such as microscopic paint chips and synthetic dust that often land on furniture, toys and floors.


FAIR COMPENSATION
Our cleaners are compensated fairly for the hard work they do. In fact, we pay much higher than industry standard and significantly higher than other companies in the Hudson County area. This is one of the reasons almost all of our cleaners have been employed with Magic Cleaning Service for over 5 years. As a result we can trust them both to clean your home properly and to respect it.


OTHER SERVICES
Magic Cleaning Service offers an eco-friendly painting service with an inventive new paint that does not contain VOC's or other disruptive chemicals. Please request swatch samples if interested.
We also provide an intensive non-toxic cleaning and polishing service for wood floors. Your floors will be incredibly shiny AND safe for children and pets!

Green Cleaning Facts

  • The Government has not conducted even basic toxicity testing for about 75% of the high-volume chemicals in commercial use. More than 90% of these chemicals have not been tested for health effects on children.
  • Nationwide more than 32 million pounds of household cleaning products are poured down the drain each day. Chemicals in household cleaners break down slowly in the eco-system and can lead to harmful algae blooms and accumulation of toxins in the tissues of animals we eat, such as fish.
  • According to a five-year EPA study, the air in American homes has chemical pollution levels 70 times greater than outdoor air pollution. We spend approximately 90% of our time inside.
  • Babies and children are more susceptible to chemicals thanks to the permeability of their skin, the rate at which their cells multiply and divide, behavioral tendencies and their height (most chemicals are heavier than air and lie closer to the ground.)
