Frequently Asked Questions

                             Sheba Green Coop 

Who we are:

We are a diverse group of socially, environmentally, and economically conscious people who joined forces and formed Sheba Green Cleaning Coop. The Coop is a cleaning operation focused on cleaning buildings using environmentally sustainable cleaning products. The operation is an attempt to learn how to build a "democratically run" socially responsible enterprise, as part of an effort to teach others how to build a worker-centered economy.

The Sheba Green Coop was born out of the energy and membership of Occupy Boston. We want to be part of the paradigm shift in the global economy and what it means to be a worker, by forming a Worker-Owned Cooperative and engaging in socially and environmentally responsible social enterprise.

We believe that change begins with our individual actions that we engage in at home and at work.

Like the Community Builders Coop here in Boston, and the Cleveland Model in Ohio, where each Coop member has an equal say in running the company, decisions are made by consensus, and the operation adheres to "equal pay for equal work".

Our Coop is anchored in cooperation, responsibility, and accountability to one another, to the community, as well as the environment that we live in. The ultimate goal is that workers can and will be in control of their own economic destiny, and that what set us apart from other cleaning, companies out there.


Why Green cleaning?

“A thousand miles journey begins with one step “

The environment. Your environment. Our environment.

We are concerned, like most people, about the degradation of our environment. The air we breathe, should not contain toxic chemicals. This means in our work place and in our homes, which are our castles. We are committed to protect the environment using non-toxic products. Our healthy cleaning products not only leave your environment healthy and clean, but you can be sure that the production of these products did not further contaminate our precious Earth.

How do we do it?

We start with making our own healthy, safe, affordable, natural cleaning products using ingredients from real citrus juices, baking soda, vinegar, olive oil, lavender and eucalypsis oils, etc. We use eco-friendly re-useable cleaning materials and products, that are safe for our clients, the cleaners, and the environment.

Education: educating the community is part of our cleaning enterprise. We intend to give workshops on how to make products as well as how to build a business like ours. At these workshops we will demonstrate how to make green cleaning products from non-toxic natural, safe, and affordable ingredients. The ultimate goal is to change the mindset, by creating awareness and switching from toxic to non-toxic green cleaning products, that are safe to their families as well as the environment.

What sets our Coop apart from other cleaning services?

Our Green Cleaning Cooperative is a worker-owned Coop, and is committed to environmental sustainability.

After we are done cleaning your space, your environment will be and smell healthy. And you will feel confident breathing the wonderful smells that our products leave behind, because they will be derived from healthy plant and natural products.

Most cleaning companies use toxic chemicals and require workers to work in underpaid, dangerous environments. We are committed to work-place democracy and sustainable business practices. And while we want to remain competitive in terms of price and services, we also want to be a "different kind" of company that customers can support because they want to support efforts that make "a better world possible".

Support us!

The media constantly talks about the problem of unemployment, and how it impacts the middle class. But rather than waiting for others to find a solution, we are interested in finding solutions ourselves, because we still believe in the American dream. i.e. if given access and opportunity, we can control our economic destiny. So when you order our service, you are also part of the solution.

Our clean green service, will not only leave your house spotless, and as fresh as daisy but it also fosters economic empowerment for a whole community, by helping people help themselves, and instilling the value of work breaks the cycle of poverty.

If you are the sort of customer we’d like to work for, all of the above rouses your interests. But, you still want to know---“So-how well do you clean?” Short answer; “Brilliantly!” All our hard-working crew are experienced with other, “standard issue” cleaning services, and we’ve learned “really clean” from “looks fine- move on!” In our wake, when we have gone, you will see only sparkling surfaces and smell only the aroma of natural oils—peppermint, lemon—name your preference!

As fellow worker-owners, we are a tight team and expect a lot from each other. Needless to say, we are; • completely reliable • always punctual • flexible in meeting your needs • ready to provide excellent service for value

Invite us over, tell us your needs, and let us show you how we will meet them!

SHEBA GREEN CLEANING COOP of BOSTON

  • Who we are
  • What we do
  • Why you should use us

As of this August, the Cambridge/Boston/Brookline area has a new cleaning service, ready to tackle your home, office, or business cleaning needs. Yes, there are other cleaning services out there—but this one is better. Way better!!

How so? First, our cleaners use only cleaning products we prepare ourselves, using proven-effective formulas and natural ingredients. No harsh chemicals sprayed into the air, left on surfaces, or rinsed down the drain. Using our service tells your family, customers, or co-workers that you care about them and our environment.

Second, we are not a globally organized cleaning corporation, or a local franchise of one. We are a cooperative enterprise, in which all workers are members and decision –makers who share in all profits. We are small –scale and local, meaning extra attention to your particular needs.

If you are the sort of customer we’d like to work for, all of the above rouses your interests. But, you still want to know---“So-how well do you clean?” Short answer; “Brilliantly!” All our hard-working crew are experienced with other, “standard issue” cleaning services, and we’ve learned “really clean” from “looks fine- move on!” In our wake, when we have gone, you will see only sparkling surfaces and smell only the aroma of natural oils—peppermint, lemon—name your preference!

As fellow worker-owners, we are a tight team and expect a lot from each other. Needless to say, we are;

  • completely reliable
  • always punctual
  • flexible in meeting your needs
  • ready to provide excellent service for value

Invite us over, tell us your needs, and let us show you how we will meet them!
