San Francisco has some of the most environmentally conscious residents in the country. The city has banned single-use plastics, leads the nation in composting, and consistently ranks among the most sustainable cities in the United States. It makes sense that San Franciscans would apply the same values to how their homes are cleaned — and increasingly, they are.
Green Planet Cleaning Services was founded on the principle that a clean home shouldn't come at the cost of your family's health or the environment. We use exclusively plant-based, EPA Safer Choice certified products — no chlorine bleach, no synthetic fragrances, no harsh solvents. Our cleaning is effective, thorough, and genuinely safe for the people, pets, and planet that matter to San Francisco families.
What "Eco-Friendly" Actually Means
The term "eco-friendly" is used loosely in the cleaning industry. Some services use one or two green products but still rely on bleach and synthetic fragrances for most tasks. True eco-friendly cleaning means a complete commitment to non-toxic, plant-based formulas across every product used in your home — not just a marketing claim on a website.
At Green Planet Cleaning, every product we use must meet our standards: EPA Safer Choice certified, CARB compliant for VOC content, biodegradable, and free from chlorine bleach, synthetic fragrances, and petroleum-derived solvents. We also use microfiber cloths instead of disposable paper towels, and HEPA-filtered vacuums that capture fine particles rather than recirculating them into the air.
Our Product Certifications
The EPA Safer Choice program certifies products that are safer for human health and the environment. All ingredients are reviewed for toxicity, and products must meet strict standards for biodegradability and aquatic safety.

San Francisco's older housing stock — Victorian and Edwardian homes, mid-century apartments — often has limited ventilation. Chemical cleaning products release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that accumulate in poorly ventilated spaces, contributing to indoor air pollution that can be 2–5 times worse than outdoor air. Plant-based, low-VOC cleaners eliminate this risk.
San Francisco also has a direct environmental stake in cleaning product choices. The city's wastewater flows to the San Francisco Bay — one of the most ecologically significant estuaries on the West Coast. Conventional cleaning chemicals, including synthetic surfactants and chlorine compounds, can persist in wastewater treatment and affect Bay water quality. Our biodegradable formulas break down completely before reaching the Bay.
Eco-Friendly Cleaning for Every SF Neighborhood
We serve all San Francisco neighborhoods — from the Victorian homes of the Haight and the Castro to the modern condos of SoMa and Mission Bay, the Edwardian flats of the Richmond and Sunset, and the hilltop homes of Noe Valley and Bernal Heights. Our eco-friendly approach is consistent across every home we clean, regardless of neighborhood or home type.
Pricing
Eco-friendly cleaning costs the same as conventional cleaning at Green Planet — there is no green premium. A standard clean for a 2-bedroom SF home starts at $240. Use our online estimate tool for an exact quote.
