PENTICTON - ECO FRIENDLY HOUSEKEEPING SERVICE CLEANS WITHOUT CHEMICALS

The first of its kind in Penticton, La Maison Verte Eco Friendly Housekeeping has just opened the door to a new world of professional and thorough residential cleaning services – without the use of chemicals!

La Maison Verte has arrived and the timing couldn’t be better! As environmental awareness and concern continues to grow, so does the need to create healthier lives for ourselves, our children and our pets. The trained staff of La Maison Verte use only products by Norwex, which are proven to be 99.97% effective at cleaning all types of dirt, grime, mildew and bacteria without chemicals. Several independent hospital and laboratory studies have proven that Norwex cleaning products out-perform a bleach and water solution, the commonly recognized standard for cleanliness.

Not only are these methods proven to reduce allergies by creating a cleaner indoor climate for your family, they will also save you money by reducing your use of chemical cleaning supplies by up to 90%.

Owners Jillian Dupont and Margita Heggie had the idea to start the business when they were trying to find a house cleaner for their own houses, and knew they would not be satisfied with a cleaning company that used regular methods or toxic products. La Maison Verte was born.

There will be an open house reception to introduce the business on January 10th 2009, from 6-9pm in the Purple Lotus Yoga Studio located at #102-186 Nanaimo Avenue East. Demonstrations and facility tours will be given, and guests will be treated to delicious treats, beverages, gift giveaways and prize draws. One lucky guest will win a ‘Luxury Perfection Package’, “a 1.5 hour Thai Massage while La Maison Verte cleans your house.”

“We knew there was a need for this kind of service,” comments business manager Elyse Allen, “but we had no idea it would take off as quickly as it has.” Since starting up in late November 2008, La Maison Verte now employs three full-time cleaners and is already on the lookout for new talent. They say good news travels fast, and news about the meticulous work done by the staff of La Maison Verte is no exception.

To have your house cleaned without chemicals, call 250-488-8949.
