Green Environment Cleaning

I’ve been working with Green Environment Cleaning for over two years. It’s refreshing to find a professional and trustworthy service. Jack Thompson is honest and cares about his company and his customers. He always asks for feedback and works to make sure all of my cleaning needs are met. The service providers are prompt and do a wonderful job. If I notice something that needs a little extra attention or wasn’t done correctly they immediately respond to it and make sure that I’m satisfied with the result. I’m happy to recommend this company and the good people who run it and do the work.

Green Environment was a lifesaver. We recently finished a kitchen and bath renovation in our apartment. The reno was way behind schedule and we were frantic because we’re expecting a baby and needed to move into a clean apt. ASAP. Our place was completely covered with renovation dust and grime — we hadn’t lived there in 8 weeks — and there were boxes and bags of our stuff everywhere. We called GEC based on Unilocal reviews and Jack Thompson, the general manager, came out within a day to give us an estimate. We scheduled the cleaning for 3 days after that. Three agents were assigned to our place and they showed up on time (early, actually) and spent 4 hours cleaning the place top to bottom. They did an excellent job. I came in that night and the thick musty smell was gone, the surfaces were clean, everything was in order, nothing had been broken or moved to a weird place, and Jack’s cost and time estimate was accurate. Also: we were not met with that harsh disinfectant smell; true to their name, they used only green products so the place did not smell like a chemical factory. I would definitely recommend this company for anyone needing a post-​renovation cleaning, or any sort of professional cleaning job. Thank you, GEC!

Green Environment Cleaning did a great job with our apartment after construction. There was a very noticeable difference in the air quality after they left! I was particularly grateful for the care they took to thoroughly clean my daughter’s room. They went above and beyond to rid that room of anything that might inflame my daughter’s asthma. One of the employees shared that she, too, had had asthma as a child and understood the importance of a sawdust-​free environment. It really felt like she worked from the heart. Thank you!

GEC is a great option in the City for a thorough cleaning. Jack is very personable and will come out on short notice to meet you and assess the needs of the job. His crew came on time and were thorough and very courteous. Don’t expect lots of equipment, but microfiber and elbow grease can go along way. I am happy to recommend good people that work hard at what they do.

Not only is Mr. Thompson a lovely, trustworthy person, his cleaners did an amazing job with efficiency and good humor. All in all a 110% positive experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Green Environment Cleaning to anyone who asks!

I love this company! The owner is super accommodating and the agents arrive on time and are hardworking. I never get my apartment cleaned. I did once when I moved to NYC and then again today– and I swear, whenever I need a cleaning, I will only use this company.
When I moved here they removed grout from my tub and helped me with some pretty tough/​grimy floors. They had such great attitudes and made it feel like I was starting out in a fresh new place. I used them again today to spruce up my apartment after being gone a while and it looks and smells so good, I wish I could do it every week.
I’d definitely refer anyone to these guys because not only do they do a really good job, but they are a great group of people who will whip your apartment back into shape at a moment’s notice.

Short answer: Love these guys! They turned my dusty home into a pampering spa. Left it sparkling clean. Worth every penny. We worked with Amarah who is a super star. Love her!
Longer answer: After traveling on a business trip that felt like it would never end, I came home to an apartment that felt coated in grime. I needed someone quickly who was reliable and could do a job well that required a lot of elbow grease. Given all of their five star reviews, I decided to give Green Environment Cleaning a try. They came in to assess my place and saw that it desperately needed some tender loving care. They were able to have someone in THAT DAY, only a few hours later. Amarah the Wonderful came over and within hours my home felt like a home again. It was the best feeling and with Amarah’s massive help, I’ve had an easier time keeping things clean, because I’m also more inspired to quickly wipe away every speck of dirt I see. If you want that home spa feeling, and to pamper yourself, trust Green Environment Cleaning.

My wife was in the hospital and I wanted a deep clean fast before she came home. I called jack he came by, and had a strong sales pitch, and then dropped the price bomb. I mean I live in a small one bedroom, and 398 buck for a deep clean, seemed steep. I was so worried, and I needed it fast soI booked them. They came that day, and let me tell you I should have just bought a brunch of swifters from target and a had the drunk on the street do the job and saved the money. I am going with a different service from now on. DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE MONEY, buy a swifter instead.

We used Green Environmental Cleaning after our home underwent construction and were very satisfied. We spoke with Jack who came out the day we called to provide an estimate and evaluation. On the day of the clean the team sent out was on time, courteous, and did a wonderful job. They did go past the estimated time, but we called and spoke with Jack who worked out a fair price for the work needed. In the end our home looked fantastic and we would definitely recommend their services.

I arranged for a cleaning last-​minute because the dust was too much to bear! Jack was wonderful to deal with, responsive and flexible.
Amarah came to clean and she was great! I saw another reviewer who marveled about her clean tub, and mine was the same – sparkling! Amarah was really thorough and fast. I’m normally a fairly clean person and I know how much work is involved in giving my apartment a good scrub and she did it! She did an excellent job.
Give Green Environment Cleaning a try – they’re fab!

We just closed on our first apartment purchase and unfortunately, the previous owners had left it FILTHY and I’m talking about crusty, food covered refrigerator, cabinets with dead roaches and roach droppings and grease covered stove tops and cabinets. Since I had to deal with packing and getting ready to move as well as a toddler and a 2 mo old, I decided to hire a professional cleaning service for the first time. I’m an extremely detail oriented person and fanatical about cleanliness so I would normally prefer to do my own cleaning but based on everything going on, I decided it was worth the cost to hire a cleaning company. After trolling through Unilocal,I selected Green Environment Cleaning and met with Jack to get an estimate. Jack recommended a 2.5 hour deep cleaning session with two cleaners and stated they would tackle the kitchen and bathrooms first and if they weren’t able to get to everything within that timeframe, I would approve any overtime above the 2.5 hours. The fee was much higher than I anticipated but based on their excellent reputation, their use of green cleaning products and Jack’s presentation, I agreed to the cost and service.
The appointed day of cleaning, I was to meet the cleaning crew in the lobby of my new building since we hadn’t yet moved in. I got there exactly at 9 am which was the time they were supposed to be there and found out one of the ladies had came and left. Apparently, since I wasn’t there, she decided to go out and grab breakfast and let her client (me), and her coworker wait a half an hour for her to come back and start work. I made it a point to state that the kitchen and bathrooms were the priorities, especially the kitchen cabinets and then left. I expected a status phone call close to the 2.5 hour mark as Jack had stated but no call ever came. Instead, I went back to the apt and they were just getting started on the kitchen cabinets and said they needed another hour. I wasn’t happy about it as I didn’t anticipate paying an hour overage but agreed since the cabinets were so dirty and needed to be cleaned. I got a phone call an hour later stating they were completed and my total overage had come to 1.5 hours. I was surprised because they had said they needed just another hour but the lady explained that it had already been 20 minute past the original time. Well, I immediately called Jack and he was fair about it and agreed to only charge me the hour overage. Overall, the apt did look better than before but it wasn’t as immaculate as I was hoping for. I had to point out spots in the cabinets that had been missed and it didn’t have the sanitized look that I was hoping for. I could still see some roach droppings in the corners of the cabinets and it made me wonder how much they had really scrubbed or if they had merely sprayed and just wiped. Also, there was one sticky, greasy cabinet that the cleaner stated that she tried to clean but it wouldn’t come off. After we moved in, my husband took a paper towel and scrubbed it just a little and some of the sticky stuff came off so I’m not sure how much attention she really gave it. I was primarily displeased after the cleaning that the ladies had not prioritized the job very well, leaving the things I really wanted cleaned (the cabinets) for last and cleaning areas that I hadn’t asked for (like vacuuming the apt when I had mentioned to them that I was getting the floors redone). Anyway, it wasn’t until after we moved in and I started unpacking that I saw how subpar the cleaning had been in the kitchen. I wiped down the inside of cabinets expecting to be cleaning off some minor dust from the time it had been professionally cleaned until we moved in but instead, my paper towel was coming off covered in dirt and grime. I truly felt like these ladies had just run a cloth over the surfaces and that was it which is not the definition of a «deep clean.» There was also thick grease left on the stove (which Jack claimed they were going to steam clean off) and crusty stuff still left in parts of the refrigerator. The only area which they did a great job on was the bathroom. Ultimately, I was disappointed in the results and did not feel like the cleaning was worth the $ 500 I ended up paying. I’m also upset at how they stretched the time spent to make me pay the overage. I did text pictures of my dirty paper towels to Jack but never got a response. I suppose one dissatisfied customer in the midst of all these stellar reviews doesn’t matter.
And one additional note… I picked this company because they were green but they used Clorox and Ajax to clean the bathroom. I suppose that was necessary considering how dirty the bathroom was but don’t claim to be green and tote products with bleach in it.

I hired GECC to do a general clean of my apartment — focusing on the bathroom. My main concern was the tile and the sliding shower door. Jack came by the day I called to do a walk through and take notes for the agent. Customer satisfaction is clearly his top priority. Shainice arrived on time and I did a quick walk through with her. She was friendly and professional. My bathtub is the cleanest I’ve ever seen it. She got rid of some pretty gross scum that I did not want to ever deal with. At the end she asked me to do another walk through and took care of a spot I pointed out. This is something that sets GECC apart from other cleaners I have hired in the past.
The eco friendly cleaners they use is a major bonus. My house is smelling fresh and not like chemicals.

This company does it right. I called desperate the morning of– needing service THAT DAY. The owner was at my house in 2 hours to inspect and give me a quote. 5 hrs after that, my apt was being cleaned. It looks better now than when I moved in! LOVE. I will definitely use this company again.

After living in several cities and dealing with several cleaning agencies… Green Environment Cleaning Corp., is by far the most detailed I’ve ever used. I’ve been using them for a year now and just love everyone who comes to clean. After my initial call, Jack came with one of the cleaners to go over how much the cleaning would cost and what costs extra (ie: fridge). He also asked what I like in a residential apartment cleaning and what bothered me with my prior experiences with other cleaning services. I really appreciated that. I also appreciate the fact that whomever comes to clean comes ON TIME and asks if there’s anything different they should focus on. The fact that the team comes with their own supplies is a plus too. I have a one bedroom apartment and it’s done typically in 2.5 hours … looking shiny, dusty free and clean.
Another perk to Green Environment Cleaning Corp is Jack. He’s always easily accessible and answers and questions promptly. He also checks in after the cleaning to make sure everything is to my liking.
Reliable, Reasonable and Really good. I highly recommend them.

I work as a Location Manager for film/​tv productions all around the city. I just finished a shoot in an expensive 4-​story brownstone, multiple day shoot with a crew of +80. Needless to say, once everything was put back into place — the brownstone needed a good cleaning to ensure the home-​owners were left happy. My reputation and future shoots were on the line.
I called up Jack and he came with one of his cleaners to suss out the work that would be needed to be done in the brownstone. We went room-​to-​room and floor-​to-​floor, while they took meticulous notes and asked questions to make sure that I would get the cleaning I needed.
We set up the 4hr appointment and, with most tv productions, they had to work with a very select and tight time-​frame. Suffice to say, his team of cleaners worked with my wrap-​out crew and cleaned the apartment meticulously. Every room we used on every floor was cleaned and left better than how I found it (a personal goal).
I was greatly impressed and hope to use them on every production I can. I know it’s a bit of a cliché but they were fast, reliable, and damn good.

Jack is running a great business. I am a very particular person when it comes to my home and its cleanliness. Jack came in and gave me an estimate for a deep cleaning, one which I felt was more than reasonable. The appt was set for the following day! It’s wonderful when a business is able to accommodate a person’s schedule.
The people came, were friendly and understood what I was looking for out of the cleaning. After it was done, Jack came back and inspected the job they had done.
For the record, things weren’t perfect. But Jack offered to bring them back and sort out the minor areas that were missed. He welcomed the feedback and was anxious to make good in any areas in which I wasn’t satisfied.
It is refreshing to know that there are companies out there who still take pride in what they do and go above and beyond to do things right.

I usually don’t take the time to write reviews, but this time I need to share my experience.
I moved in an apartment in Brooklyn that supposedly was“professionally cleaned” before my family and I moved in. When we got to the place, not only it was not cleaned by professionals, it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned for years. The bathroom tiles and toilet were covered in rust, dirt and who knows what else, the kitchen’s cabinet had an inch of grease on them (and on top), the appliances were so greasy you couldn’t even read the brand on them anymore. I quickly looked for a nicely rated cleaning company and I found GREEN ENVIRONMENT CLEANING CORP.
Jack answered my call in a second and came by for a cleaning assessment. He was as horrified as I was when he saw the mess. He saw I have a six months old baby and squeezed my cleaning session later that day (5 to 8:30 pm) even though they were completely booked for days. He sent 3 of his best girls and they worked tirelessly until every inch of my apartment was spotless. One of the girls (Iris) even took apart those old style floor heaters to take all the dust that was stuck in them. When she was done She said «this baby ain’t breathing any of that dust anymore!». I have used many cleaning companies over the years, I never met such hardworking, polite, professional people. At the end of the job Jack came back to my apartment and inspected everything to make sure they did a great job. They truly saved my life. Highly recommend.

Stop looking for a cleaning service and just call Jack. He and Octavia showed up on time, did an amazing job cleaning every room, and left our 2BR apartment sparkly shiny. We were seriously impressed.
The only downside was we did not like the smell of a deodorizer they used (too floral for our liking), but Jack told us that he will not use it next time.
I found them on Unilocal so I was little skeptical at first, but after my first «deep cleaning», I am a happy client.

i was skeptical but ended up impressed. I’m not a fanatical «green» person — I do appreciate it but all my personal cleaning supplies are the standard kinds and I wasn’t willing to pay through the nose just for «green.» We’ve also had house cleaners before: independent «cleaning ladies» recommended by friends. I thought their cleanings were pretty good (at least as good as I could do myself when I had the time) until I had Jack and team clean our place.
We have a small 2-​br apartment with a toddler and two cats. Am also 7 mo pregnant and since it’s getting hard to bend over for long periods I decided it was time for was time to hire someone again and since I really wanted a «deep clean» to start, I thought I’d try a service. Then I’d decide about whether to hire them on a regular basis or go back to a cleaning lady.
First, Jack showed up THE DAY I called to walk through our apt, explain his services and provide an estimate. He was also able to fit me in the next day for our cleaning. But I was still skeptical.
I am no longer a skeptic. As just one example, without me having to ask, they pulled out all the storage boxes under our bed and cleaned under there (that’s two years worth of cat hair!). They did the same throughout our apartment. We have NO HAIR anywhere: corners, behind toy bins, at the base of closets, behind the courch, etc. It’s amazing. And they still got the «normal» places too (kitchen, bathroom, floors, shelves, etc) too, all in 4 hours.
Did they miss a few minor places, yes, but they more than made up for it with the thorough cleaning of the much harder to reach locations. I’ve scheduled them to come weekly and it is very reasonably priced I think. I am so psyched! I definitely recommend them!
(FYI, I was also a little concerned that they would be a «large scale» cleaning service as their website is a bit intense/​corporate feeling, but I came away from the experience feeling like my business was just as important to them as their bigger clients.)

My first time using a cleaning service and Green Environment Corp has def made a believer out of me. Great, detailed and accommodating service in a very professional manner. Now, I consider myself a very clean and meticulous cleaner so I was a bit skeptic at how clean they would get it… It. Is. Clean.
I just moved into an apt and the oven was so bad that based on looks alone I felt a call to the landlord requesting a new one was in order. It looks brand new! Now whether or not it’s in great working order is another story.
But anyway, I’m very happy I chose this cleaning company and they really helped my move into this new apt so less stressful! (By taking care of my crazy cleanliness needs.)
