GoGreen Inc.

I’ve shopped at Go Green for a few years, and the owners are very knowledgeable about the products. They have a vast selection of eco-​friendly and non-​toxic cleaning and household products, including harder to find items and lesser known brands. As the parent of a 1-​year old, I’ve found their expertise helpful in selecting safe cleaning products, especially since my son puts everything in his mouth and crawls around on the floor. I would not want to use harsh chemicals! They most recently helped me find a non-​toxic upholstery cleaner, so I could avoid using a steam cleaner with all of the chemicals.
Of particular interest to parents, they have testing kits for lead paint (if you live in an old brownstone you may want this), radon, and other toxins.
Anyway, this store is quite unique in that it is a stand-​alone store that specializes in eco-​friendly, non-​toxic products, unlike your local bodega that my just have 1 or 2 brands. I should also note that the prices are very reasonable, also unlike your local bodega that marks up everything.

The owner recommended some great products to get my house clean with great natural and effective products.

I was very unimpressed with this service. I was sent 2 people to clean for 3 hours and it became apparent that only 1 person had the cleaning expeirience Ii was looking for. When I saw that the second helper kept wiping a spot over and over I started keeping an eye on him. He needed to be moved alomg as he would get lost in a task. At one point I found him grabbing all of my hand towellets in the bathromm to wipe on the floor. My custom stained cabinets had the finish wiped off of them in 2 spots before I stopped them. I had a terrible day and was relieved when they left. My cleaning lady has nothing to worry about. Maybe my expectations were too high but this was certainly not worth the money.

The phone number doesn’t work for some reason.

I picked Go Green based off its good reviews here. They were extremely accommodating as I called on a Wednesday and needed cleaners the following weekend.
The house looks spotless. Leonard literally mopped his way out of the house — that is truly amazing! Very thorough job.
This would have been a 5 star review, but the cleaners were 30 minutes late, and didn’t apologize. When I mentioned I’d expected them earlier, they just shrugged and said their earlier job had gone long. I understand that it was probably out of their control, but a phone call or an apology would have gone a long ways.
Pricing: $ 70/​hour. It seems expensive, but that gets you two cleaners who bring ALL their own cleaning supplies and equipment.
If you want a really thorough job, Go Green is a good choice.

I had a great experience with Go Green! My situation was unique, since I had just had extermination done in the apartment and needed the kitchen deep cleaned. They cleared out and cleaned ALL of the kitchen cabinets, washed the dishes in the cabinets (which they don’t normally do but agreed to do given my special circumstances), deep cleaned the bathroom and did the floors and dusted the rest of the apartment well.
I have already recommended them to friends and would do so again. Marjorie in the store was very helpful and accommodating to my needs. The guys that came were GREAT — cleaned hard and efficiently in the time allotted. It’s more expensive than cleaners I’ve had in the past, but they did a MUCH better job. So, it was well worth it.

Go Green an environmentally friendly cleaning service is the best. We used them for «spring cleaning» a couple of years ago. We just hired them back, after basement construction, to clean our brownstone top to bottom. Leonard and Daniel did a great job. They arrived on time and did exactly what needed to be done per our request.
I can’t wait to get them back for apartment cleaning. Fantastic to have a company like this in the neighborhood.

I have a cat and dog who get their hair everywhere, including the many nooks and crannies in my apartment — and I always delighted at the consistent level of good work done by the guys from Go Green. I have never hesitated to suggest that someone try them. I say this as I have used their service for about 5 years and thought that it was time that I go back on Unilocal and give them a shout out! They deserve it!

Never use their services!!! I used Go green for their cleaning services. I live in a small apartment that had a layer of dust from construction downstairs. I told them about the dust everywhere and I told them that the dust on the walls and floors are the main priority. I used them for about 3 hours for around 210 dollars total.
The molding on the walls were still covered in dust. They completely skipped the walls and floors in the bathroom. They didn’t wipe down a single surface in the kitchen, living room, or bedrooms. The mop left a trail of goop in one of the bedrooms that I had to wipe up myself. They barely moved anything around to clean. Basically, the apartment still feels dirty but it has a fresh scent to it. Sigh.
I agree with the previous Unilocaler. I could have done the same job in half the amount of time and man power. This is NOT professional cleaning.

Great idea for a store, but poorly informed about what GREEN is.
I’ve talked to Wayne several times about the products he carries. Unfortunately, he still carries Mrs. Meyer’s and other products that contain SYNTHETIC «FRAGRANCE» or «PARFUM». This one ingredient is unregulated in the USA and can contain 1,000’s of chemical additives, including phthalates, most of which have been linked to asthma, hormone distruption, and cancer.
If you carry products that contain fragrance or don’t openly disclose their ingredients, you should not be advertising yourself as a green cleaner.

STAY AWAY. This is a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE service. I don’t know what these 5 star reviews are about.
We were looking for a basic clean. Our regular maid wasn’t available when we needed her so we looked on Unilocal for an alternative. The previous reviews lead me to believe that this would be a good choice. Boy, was I mistaken. I wasn’t expecting a lot. I didn’t think they would clean out our drawers or our refrigerator, but I did have hopes that they would at least attempt to make our apartment LOOK clean. Our apartment was not especially messy nor is it an especially cluttered space. All I can say that they did was clean the wood floors and dust. The pillows were still askew and the throw blanket was still crumpled in a ball when we returned. The luggage that was on the floor in our bedroom was left on top of our bed, and the rug and sofa looked like they hadn’t been vacuumed or cleaned at all. Our leaning desk was not replaced on the wall correctly and was balanced precariously and very well could have fallen if we hadn’t noticed in time. I could go on…
To make matters worse, they followed up a couple of days later to ask how our experience was. That part was nice, but after I finished telling them what a terrible job their guys did, their representative told me that the owner was not in the office that day but that he would get in touch with me in a couple of days to make it up to us.
That was a week ago.
STAY AWAY. Overpriced and HORRIBLE. I could have done what they did in about 2 hours all by myself.

This is our go to store for going green. We were neighbors with this store for 6 years, and got pretty used to the wonderful array of choices of home and industrial cleaning products. The essential item for us was cheap recycled toilet paper! Gotta have it!
We moved last month, and now find ourselves travelling back to old hood to visit Wayne.
Why? Well, its not just about the products. Its the expertise and advice that comes with it – which he offers very freely.
Earth Friendly products are avaiable in many stores these days. But an earth friendly store – that’s what Wayne offers us.

Wayne and his crew are very attentive and provide an excellent service. We’ve used the home cleaning services a couple of times now and have been very pleased with the results. These guys leave no area unclean and literally get down on their hands and knees to mop the floor. Go Green’s cleaning products, while being eco-​friendly, also smell amazing and leave our house smelling so good. My partner and I highly recommend Go-​Green.

A fortuitous discovery, Go Green is a small shop that offers all needed & desired by the OCD-​environmentally conscientious. Opened in 2002 (after appx 25 years in the residential & commercial cleaning industry), Go Green feels more authentic than a haphazard hanger-​on to the recent Green Movement. This isn’t a store hoping to benefit from the pervasive fear of Global Warming — but, instead, they believe in households that are clean, breezy and safe for all family members as well as their environs.
With their impressive selection of green products (EcoVer, Mrs. Myers, Dr. Bronners, Earth Friendly, BioKleen, etc.), its staff helps customers discover which products best suit individual needs — plus, they’ll give tips on extending the use of certain products (like using Dr. Bronners’ baby soap to clean leather). From painting the house to unclogging natty drains, Go Green has products that won’t spoil our already-​sullied globe; products that are non-​toxic and quite ambrosial.
Now that I’m a Go Green regular, my two-​pet apartment smells like a fresh, summertime garden. Between the Pet Litter Freshener and the Carpet Cleaner, the All-​Purpose Cleaners & the soy-​based candles, there isn’t a whiff of putrid stagnation. And, since the products are biodegradable, non-​toxic, etc., your hands won’t suffer, either.
