Carmine's Cleaning Service, Miami, FL 33138, US

HistoryBy Jenny Staletovich When Petter Nahed's mother came down with cancer after many years as a housekeeper and personal assistant, Nahed started to wonder if working with chemical cleaners over such a long time made her sick. In April last year, Nahed launched Maid Green, one of a growing number of environmentally friendly cleaning services. Using a citrus-based peroxide cleaner that, he says, the Environmental Protection Agency has approved to kill germs and bacteria without harsh chemicals, the business has picked up customers in both South Broward and Dade. ''We don't use green as a buzzword,'' said Nahed, who marketed the company by passing out fliers at Whole Foods and notices posted on yoga center bulletin boards. ``We believe the future is green, and we believe there is no compromise.''SpecialtiesMaid Green specializes in providing professional eco-friendly house cleanings services from condos to large luxury homes in Miami.
