Keeping germs and harmful bacteria away from your family doesn’t require using bleach and chemical laden disinfectants. WELL NEST is an amazing new company that cleans your home without any chemicals. The cleaning staff uses vinegar- based products that are honestly green and purely natural. The majority of WELL NEST’s cleaning products are made by Eco-Me and are comprised of entirely plant-based and food-grade ingredients. Eco-Me products received a Green Rating on the Whole Foods Market Eco-Scale™, are BPA-free, and Leaping Bunny certified™. These products are baby friendly and pet friendly.
Other cleaning companies may promise to use “green” or “natural” products, but those products still contain harmful chemicals. At WELL NEST, they take pride in really providing all natural items in their cleaning products epitomizing the “wellness” in WELL NEST. Their cleaning products can actually reduce germs, bacteria and allergens that can make you and your family sick. WELL NEST ensures the cleaning products they use are safe for everyone, including their employees. That is very important to me as we try to be as non-toxic as possible in our home. I appreciated the care they took in making sure our house was not only clean but also safe for my family, their crew members and the environment.
WELL NEST has a very user-friendly website making your booking as easy as a few clicks. The time of your appointment is followed up by a simple email confirming the window of time to expect the cleaners. The ease of being able to do everything on-line is so time-efficient and hassel-free.
The day of the service, the cleaners showed up right on time (at the top of the two-hour window of time I requested). I had done all of the usual “pre-cleaning”—picking up and putting things away, but our assigned housekeeper, Alma and her colleague had their work cut out for them!
As they began to clean I noticed they started at the top, dusting and then cleaning everything top to bottom. They wiped our windows, televisions, ceiling fans, cabinets, counters and even loaded the dishwasher—something no other maid service has ever provided in the past. My sink and faucets have never been so sparkly! I also requested the additional services of an oven cleaning and a refrigerator cleaning. And, let me tell you—this was worth everything to me! To say they did an awesome job is an understatement. They truly did the best job ever! The oven and the fridge look brand new! I was in heaven!
WELL NEST doesn’t use a “one for all” industrial strength commercial vacuum cleaner for every home. Instead, they use your own personal one. As a mother, I don’t want a company to bring a vacuum cleaner that has been used in a hundred other homes. Bacteria, pet dander, dirt and germs are actually transferrable from home to home and place to place by vacuum cleaners. “Even the best HEPA filters won’t prevent you from spreading other people’s dirt and bacteria into your home, no matter how slight,” says Phil Harper, the co-owner of WELL NEST. “We also use a microfiber mop that is Velcro-based, detachable and machine washable. Microfiber is known to be the most effective type of mop out there.” I certainly appreciated the simplicity of the cleaning as well as the lack of “ick factor” connected to communal vacuum cleaners and a mop used from house to house.
Upon entering our home following the cleaning, my husband and kids noticed that there was no strong odor of cleaning supplies. In fact, there was no odor at all. Our place absolutely sparkled, but the scent of our home was neutral. It was amazing! The fact that there was absolutely no after-scent really impressed my husband and has cemented our subsequent services!
