Vida Verde Environmentally Sound Cleaning

House Cleaning, Floor Cleaning and Waxing

About us

The co-op provides green housecleaning products, encourages healthy work practices, and promotes a sense of community among its members. The Vida Verde co-op was formally launched on December 9, 2006. The initial all-Brazilian cohort comprised 10 women and 1 man recruited from graduates of the training sessions. To date all of these original members remain active, except for 1 member who returned to Brazil. The co-op provided an array of skill-building classes to its members, including business English, computer use, workplace health and safety, and leadership development.

Description of Work: This is a coop of Brazilian women who provide house cleaning services and also make their own environmentally sensitive cleaning products. We have Josefina clean our house every other week and it's hard to imagine anybody better. The organization has been very professional and responsive. They even contacted me once about a minor accident that I would not have noticed and offered to compensate me for it (but it was something that I could easily repair at no cost).

Description of Work: Valdirene did an excellent job cleaning my home! I am very pleased with the way all of rooms looked after she finished. The hardwood floors, woodwork, bathroom and kitchen shined and everthing looked great! I really like the fact that she uses all-natural products - no harsh chemicals. She did a wonderful job and I've asked her to come back on a monthly basis.

Description of Work: Contacted them last week, send a detailed email, never heard from them. Was really excited to have potentially found a company that uses clean products. I understand if companies are booked but a one liner that they are not interested would have been appreciated.

I did not know my place could be this clean! I am thrilled with the service I received. My condo was a mess after construction; there was dust everywhere. The rooms that had not been renovated had not been cleaned in several months. I received a quick call back after leaving a message for Vida Verde. The woman I spoke to was very accommodating because my schedule is a bit crazy and I needed my place cleaned on short notice. Two amazing women came in and scrubbed everything to a shine! They cleaned, they dusted, they vacuumed.....The place looks fantastic. I could not be happier.
Description of Work: Fantastic service!! I just had renovations of my kitchen, so my place was quite dusty. Even the areas that were not renovated had not been cleaned in some time. They scrubbed my place clean and dusted and vacuumed everything.

They do a very good job. I have a cat and a dog, so there's a lot of pet fur to contend with, and I'm always happy with the results when I come home. I had to ask her to go over the wall and ceiling corners with the vacuum attachment, but otherwise, a thorough job. I like the fact that it's a women's co-op and that they use environmentally-friendly products.

I have a contract with them. They are very nice. They come out bi-weekly and do a very thorough job. They always do the work when they say they would. I like that they clean well. I don't have a problem with their availability. I like the fact that they make their own cleaning products. It's just like normal vinegar and water. They don't use harsh chemicals. I'm happy with their pricing too. I don't have any complaints about them.

They were very easy to reach via email and phone, scheduling for the day I wanted was smooth, and they showed up promptly. Two women spent four hours and the house was SO clean afterward. The wood floors were gleaming, as well as the kitchen and baths. It smelled nice while they were cleaning and then the house was left odor-free (as in no toxic cleaning smell). I like that the women own the co-op and that they make their own natural cleaning products since we have a pet and a baby on the way.
Description of Work: I had a first time cleaning done on our house. The women came to give me a first-time and monthly estimate, and then I scheduled a first appointment. Since we are in the middle of renovating, I had them only do part of the house- I believe we were charged for 8 rooms, 1.5 baths, and one pet. They charge by room and that worked out well for us since several of the rooms are the size of two. I will definitely be hiring them to come on a monthly basis.

Description of Work: I chose the following plan: The initial cleaning of a spacious 1 bedroom apartment cost $140 for me, then each monthly cleaning thereafter costs $90, regardless of hours spent. Great deal! They charge an extra $5 for extras like cleaning the fridge, etc, but it's worth it because their price is so reasonable. The same woman, Elizangela, works with me each time (2 times so far). She does a great job. Of course I have to make sure to communicate my preferences at the beginning of an appointment, like wipe down the tv screen with my lens cloth, not her normal cleaning cloth, and leave my stacks of books on the end table where they are instead of put them back on the shelves. Elizangela remembers my preferences from one appt to the next, so I'm confident that after the next time I won't have to go over any reminders. Elizangela does a great job of cleaning. She's very thorough and even moves furniture a bit to clean behind and under. She even offered to clean my bookshelves entirely (moving Everything off) rather than just dusting off the current edges (which I prefer). She folds the towels in the bathroom and most amazingly of all, she worked her magic to scrub off a gray film (from the previous tenant) around the drain of the white sink that I hadn't been able to get off since we moved in a year ago! Elizangela uses natural, homemade cleaning products that have a scent but are nothing like pungent bleach, which I can't stand. She asked me at the beginning of the initial cleaning if I wanted her to use the more powerful, conventional cleaning sprays for that time only, but I said no and she respected my decision. Overall, Elizangela is great, follows through on making and keeping and performing well during appts. The woman on the phone at the agency is great, too!

I have had Ivone for years now. she is fantastic. she LOVES my cats which is important to me! she cleans VERY thoroughly and is very responsive to special requests. she cleans as if it was her own home. she also sometimes fixes little things and even rearranges plants and furniture slightly to work better for the house. everything she has done i have said to myself "why didnt I think of that." she is amazing!
Description of Work: clearning service. this is a brazilian women's cooperative and they use non toxic cleaning products that are good for the environment. because it is a cooperative the women have a chance to advance. I have been using them weekly for several years. they are very flexible if I need to cancel at the last minute or change the cleaning day for some reason. we have 4 bedrooms but the price is for 3 as they don't clean my office at my request.

I have been using the housecleaning services of the Vida Verde Brazilian Women's Coop from Allston, MA. These people provide the most amazing service, using exclusively cleaning products that they themselves make with natural ingredients and no chemicals - good for them, good for the client's family, good for the environment - and the cooperative format helps them take ownership of their professional lives.
Description of Work: I use Vida Verde to clean my home on a weekly basis. Cost is based on size of area needed to be cleaned. I have a mid-sized condo.
