Believe it or not, an average American family with school aged children spends about $500 on supplies for the school season. Because these supplies are a necessity, we wind up buying disposable supplies like pens and glue sticks that will do the job. But these supplies are often thrown away before their time. In fact, six billion pens are thrown away in the United States every year.

Paper is another school supply that is wasted quite often. The average school throws away almost 40 tons of paper every school year. About 650 trees are cut down each year just for paper, which is why purchasing recycled paper and then recycling it after using it is important. Think about it, for every 220,000 sheets of paper that is recycled, 17 trees are saved. So remember, don’t be afraid to follow your path of green and learn behaviors that can last the entire school season and beyond.

Another beautiful summer season is about to end, but that doesn’t mean your love for the planet has to! All summer long, you’ve been green – ditching those pesticides, composting leftover food, and replacing plastic water bottles with reusable ones. Heck, you even rode your bike to work a few times! Don’t let the autumn weather and the beginning of school stop you in your green tracks. When school is in session, there will be plenty of reducing, reusing, and recycling that can be done while you are reading, writing, and doing arithmetic! Where shall you begin? How about in your supply bag.

Some customers ask us if we charge more expensive rates rates because we clean green!  But we charge the same rates as other local cleaning services that don’t clean green.

It’s easy to get an estimate based on your individual needs – just follow these 3 steps:
1. Find your local Maid Brigade, because each Maid Brigade office sets their cleaning services prices locally.   Simply type your zip code in the yellow box at the top of this page.  When you hit submit, you will see the local Estimates form. 
2. Complete the local Estimates form.  In order to calculate an estimate Maid Brigade will need some basic information, like what kind of floors you have and how many bathrooms you’d like us to clean.  The form takes only a minute or so to complete.  When you submit the form, it is sent immediately to your local Maid Brigade.  The local owner will calculate your house cleaning rates ASAP.
3. Expect our phone call.  Your local Maid Brigade will call you to verify your needs and give you customized house cleaning prices for the tasks you’d like us to perform in your home.  We will call you within one business day, however usually you’ll hear from us and get your cleaning services prices much sooner – often within an hour if you request house cleaning prices on a business day.

Every home is unique, and no two Maid Brigade customers have the same cleaning needs.  Because our services are customized to suit each family’s needs, our house cleaning rates vary from home to home.  Some factors that affect our cleaning service prices are the size of your home, the number of people and pets, and how often you want your home cleaned, but there are other factors as well.

Most of our clients use our green maid service for regular visits, but we also clean for other reasons:  parties (pre- or post-), seasonal deep cleanings, when company’s sleeping over, post-construction or renovation, asthma and allergy relief and sometimes, just for a well-earned indulgence!
