Green Clean is an eco-conscious residential cleaning business in Salem, run by Midge Lyon, built around chemical-free products — plant-based, never tested on animals — and a client base that includes households with infants, pets, and even a sensitive-lunged parrot. The BBB gives it an A+ grade, and the company's site says it has served eco-conscious North Shore homes for about two decades. The strongest thread in the reviews is trust with vulnerable households. One customer, new to Salem, described searching for a cleaner who wouldn't harm their seven-year-old parrot's sensitive respiratory system and finding Midge attentive to the request. Another, in a 2025 review, described an older house with disabled cats, a shedding dog, and a toddler, and said Midge's attention to detail got a stain off a baseboard the reviewer had assumed was permanent. A recent (July 2026) review described Midge cleaning years of built-up grease off a bathtub and shower door others hadn't managed. Several reviewers describe recurring relationships running years — one said close to seven years of monthly service, on and off through the pandemic. There's a real exception in the record worth knowing about: a 2024 review described the owner as unprofessional, said the customer was met with "threats and rudeness" after raising concerns about a deep clean, and said the floors were left dirtier than before the visit. It's the only negative review among 17, but it's specific enough to be worth asking about. One more thing worth confirming directly: the BBB lists the company's registration date as 2015, while the business's own site says it's been operating since 2006 — worth clarifying which reflects the actual founding. Given the strength of the long-term-client pattern, Green Clean looks like a solid fit for anyone prioritizing non-toxic products or managing pets and allergies — just go in with clear expectations after reading the one negative account.
Midge is the best! She miraculously cleaned my bathtub and sliding shower door, which were caked with my husband's hair grease. It was a huge job, and she made everything sparkle! She's professional, does an amazing job, and, to top it off, she uses plant-based cleaning products that are never tested on animals. I highly recommend her!
I am so grateful for Midge and the team at Green Clean. I reached out as a new mom in the postpartum trenches for help with a one off deep clean and the result was an incredibly cleansed, squeaky clean and fresh space. Most importantly with a new baby it smelled like ✨nothing✨ which made us feel so safe knowing that we weren’t breathing in harmful chemicals. As soon as we were financially able I hired Midge to clean for us regularly. Inviting someone into your home to clean is such an oddly intimate thing. I knew I wanted this person to align not only with our schedules and our budget but also with our values and our energy! Midge is exactly this. She works through the space thoughtfully and meditatively (with a great playlist!). She’s a good person working with good products and doing something she truly enjoys doing. It couldn’t be a further cry from someone who comes in with stinky chemicals, rushes through the job and cuts corners. Everything is always left clean and shiny and Midge’s presence, care and attention she gives our home really feels like an energetic reset. Reiki for the home! Thank you Midge and Green Clean!
Midge spent *hours* today helping me get my apartment in order!! Safe. Sanitary. Healthy. Decluttered. Organized. Accessible. Joyful. l've wanted to pay her for her services for ages, and finally got a chance. She's been volunteering here until now. She really went above and beyond in ways I'm still just wrapping my head around. Astronomically, supernaturally, impeccably amazing professional cleaning and decluttering!! I cannot say enough good things about Midge and her business, Green Clean!!!! ** Above and beyond: ** Like, cleaning the light bulb behind the cover under the over-stove hood. Like, detailing the itty bitty mess-catching cracks under knobs on my oven and stove. Like, moving my fridge, shelves, and other kitchen furniture to exactly the best positions for max functionality! Like, taking out Bags and Bags and Boxes and Bags of trash and decluttering I couldn't *see* before! Like, incredibly compassionate, effective, and Disability-savvy coaching through the few decisions I had to make along the way. Like, letting me go nap with kitty for an hour or two midway through when I needed it. Like, offering me tangible options for how to structure and organize systems in my home, and letting me pick the one that works best for me. Like, brainstorming my vision and goals for how to make my home more Accessible, on good and bad days. At the end, she asked me for a few words to sum up how it feels: Luxurious. Fresh. Intentional. Simplified. Clean. Accessible. Manageable. Glorious.
We have had Midge and the Green Clean team clean our house monthly on and off (paused for covid years) probably for close to 7 years! Our house always shines after cleaning day and my husband and I breathe a sigh of relief about our pristine home. And then we try to live carefully for as long as possible to make it last! Midge is communicative, and patient with our moody old dog :) Her staff was always great with pets and so pleasant and kind to be around and chat with. Both adults work from home at our place, and we've always made it work. Thank you, Green Clean! Always grateful!
I've worked with Midge and her team for years, and like Green Clean so much that when I moved across town, I made sure Green Clean came with me. Midge and company do a great job (I've had compliments on how nice things look after a cleaning, and questions about how she gets the counters to look so great while using only Eco-friendly products), and the non-toxic products are safe for me and my pets. Highly recommend!
