All of our products are Ammonia, Chlorine, Phosphate and Synthetic Fragrance free. The products we use to clean are simple: vinegar, baking soda, castile soap. We also use HEPA filtered vacuums. We do not use disposable cleaning towels. We re-use each of our towels after they have been washed each night using a Green laundry soap that we make from scratch ourselves. We strive to use Green practices in other areas as well. All of our company vehicles get at least 30 miles per gallon. We recycle office and cleaning waste. We purchase our supplies from local companies and utilize local services necessary for our business functions when possible.

We offer flexible scheduling from Monday through Friday, with appointment times starting at 8:00 am and finishing typically no later than 3:30–4:00 pm. For recurring services, we assign a set day and time slot that repeats weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, based on your chosen frequency. You can request schedule changes at any time, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

Enovana Green Cleaning stands out due to our commitment to using environmentally friendly cleaning products, including our proprietary formula of castile soap. Our cleaning service is one of the most, if not the most experienced cleaning companies in the Cary, Raleigh and Durham area. We've been cleaning the Triangle since 2007 and have been chosen "Best Cleaning Service" many times over the years. Our team ensures quality service through our unique cleaning process and attention to detail. We are fully bonded and insured, provide all necessary cleaning equipment, and offer unmatched customer service via phone, email, and live chat.

No, you don’t need to be home during the cleaning. Many of our clients prefer to provide a key or access code so we can clean while they’re away. We take great care to ensure your home is secure at all times. If you’d like to be home, we’re happy to accommodate your preferences.

For safety reasons, our cleaners cannot remove their shoes while cleaning. However, we are happy to accommodate requests for shoe covers to be worn during the service, with the exception of bathrooms. Please let us know in advance if this is your preference.

We do not provide direct references, as we believe this can be misleading. As a business, we would only provide references from customers we know are happy with our services. Instead, we encourage potential customers to explore our online reviews and testimonials, which we believe offer a more fair and unbiased source of information about the quality of our services and client satisfaction.
