Business Vision and Background

Eco-Care Professional Housecleaning

Business Vision and Background

A Women's Cooperative Working to Protect the Environment

Our vision:

  1. To provide the highest quality of cleaning service
  2. To preserve the environment
  3. To protect the health of our customers and ourselves
  4. To educate our community about the benefits of environmentally safe cleaning

Eco-Care Professional Housecleaning is owned by nine low-income women from Morgan Hill, Hollister, and San Martin. We have been working since1999 to realize our dream of owning our own business.

Before opening our business, we participated in over 70 hours of cleaning training, in which we learned methods and techniques of ecologically sound cleaning. Through this training, we learned to use a variety of environmentally friendly products such as baking soda, white vinegar, and vegetable-based soaps. These products, when combined with our specialized cleaning techniques, are at least, if not more, effective than conventional cleaning methods which harm the environment and the health of our customers and ourselves.

In addition to our cleaning training, we have participated in programs through Women’s Action to Gain Economic Security, a non-profit organization in Oakland that helps empower low-income women to start their own businesses. With WAGES' support, we enhanced our skills in budgeting, financial management, conflict resolution, and other aspects of administering our business. Through the Learning and Loving Education Center in Morgan Hill, we also improved our English and computer skills.

As owners of our business, we are dedicated to providing you with superior service. We are confident that you will enjoy Eco-Care's professional quality, and we are committed to helping you come home to a beautifully clean house!
