SGCC Intro Letter

Dear Potential Green Cleaning Client!

We hope you desire a clean, healthy environment. And we hope you appreciate our desire to help make "a better world possible".

We are a diverse group of socially, environmentally, and economically conscious people who joined forces and formed Sheba Green Cleaning Coop. Our Coop is a cleaning service focused on cleaning homes and offices using environmentally sustainable cleaning products and methods. We are building a democratically run, socially responsible enterprise, aiming both to make a practical and positive change in our community, from the ground up, and to be part of an effort to teach others how to build a worker-centered economy.

We start by making our own non-toxic, affordable, natural cleaning products, using ingredients like citrus juices, baking soda, vinegar, olive oil, and natural scents like lavender and eucalyptus oils. Re-useable and evironmentally sound cleaning materials and practices are our standard operating procedures. Beyond that, educating the community is a core mission of our cleaning enterprise. Standard model cleaning services operating in the competitive market often guard their products and methods as “trade secrets.” We reject that standard approach of competing with our neighbors. We intend to give workshops where we demonstrate how to make green cleaning products from natural, safe, and affordable ingredients, and explain how others could build enterprises like ours.

Our standard weekly/biweekly services begin at $70, depending the the size and the condition of the home/office. We can adjust cleaning service specifics, fees and schedule to meet your needs. One time and first time cleaning jobs usually cost more. But we aim to be price competitive, so please give us the opportunity to provide an estimate.

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

Please let us come tell you more and give you an estimate!

Sincerely,

Sheba Green Cleaning Cooperative
