Ask a Green Clean customer what stuck with them and it usually isn't the shine — it's the smell, or the lack of one. A new mother who booked a one-off deep clean in May wrote that the house afterward smelled like nothing at all, and that with a baby in the room this mattered more to her than sparkle. A Salem homeowner with a Green Cheek Conure went hunting for a cleaner whose products wouldn't hurt a parrot's lungs and, writing in March 2025, said she had found one. That is the through-line. Green Clean is a Salem outfit built around plant-based, low-odor products, and its customers are people for whom that is the deciding factor: pets, newborns, chemical sensitivity [E392495, E392775, E392790]. The company says it has cleaned eco-conscious North Shore homes since 2006, about twenty years [E392496, E392497]. Its BBB profile, opened in 2018, puts the business start at 2015, names Midge Lyon as manager, lists four employees, and carries an A+ grade without accreditation [E392552, E392554]. The written history runs 4.6 stars across 30 Google ratings, with comments from 2024 into this summer. Tenure is the striking part: one household has had monthly cleanings on and off for close to seven years; another customer moved across town and made sure Green Clean came along. Praise tends to be concrete rather than general — a bathtub and sliding shower door caked with hair grease, brought back in July; a baseboard mark one homeowner had given up on, described in a March 2025 review. Work typically starts with a deep clean and then settles into a biweekly or monthly rhythm [E392495, E392780]. One customer, in September 2024, told a very different story: hired for a deep clean with monthly service to follow, they described being met with threats and rudeness, and floors left dirtier than they started. Nothing since repeats it and the last six months are clean, but it is the one account worth weighing. Worth knowing too: a five-star review from February 2026 comes from someone who both worked for Midge and hired her. If the reason you are hiring is what gets sprayed inside your house, this is a straightforward call. Settle scope, price and what a first deep clean covers in writing — customers say those terms are laid out clearly up front — and ask who will actually be in the house, since the praise names one cleaner while the BBB listing names four employees.
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!
