CLEANING SERVICE
Green Clean
Salem, 978-744-8698, Cape Ann, 978-491-1233, greencleansalem.com
Midge Lyon takes protecting the environment very seriously—
just as seriously as she takes cleaning homes. The owner
of Green Clean rigorously researches every product, making
sure that it is 100 percent biodegradable, completely plant-
based, never tested on animals, and, of course, that it works.
Recycled milk bottles transport cleaners, and microfiber
mops and rags are washed and reused. Even her vacuum
attachments are recyclable. And the results are
immaculate—customers claim she has cleaning
skills that surpass mere mortals. To limit her
carbon footprint, service area is limited to five
miles around Salem, though for lucky customers in Gloucester,
a recent expansion added a six-mile radius from downtown.
