Eco-Friendly Cleaning with a Personal Touch
At a recent OCBA meeting, Emily Stasiak, owner of EcoMaids of Toms River, Brick, and Neptune, gave an engaging presentation about her growing business and how she’s redefining residential and small office cleaning with sustainability and service at the core.
With a clear mission to create a cleaner, greener world, Emily walked members through what makes EcoMaids different from traditional cleaning companies. From the products they use to their deep cleaning process and employee training, EcoMaids offers a consistent, reliable, and health-conscious service for homes and businesses throughout the region.
What Sets EcoMaids Apart
EcoMaids uses only plant-based, non-toxic, and biodegradable products—free from VOCs, ammonia, bleach, phosphates, and harsh solvents. Everything from their cleaning solutions to their tools are carefully chosen with both human health and environmental sustainability in mind.
To minimize waste, Emily purchases in bulk, uses refillable labeled bottles, and opts for reusable microfiber cloths and scrub brushes. Even the specialized tools they use—like pumice stones made from volcanic rock—are biodegradable and plastic-free. These pumice stones, commonly used in nail salons, are great for cleaning hard-to-remove grime in toilets and ovens.
The Green Clean Routine
One of the hallmarks of EcoMaids’ service is their color-coded cleaning system—yellow cloths for living areas, green for kitchens, and blue for bathrooms—to avoid cross-contamination and maintain high sanitary standards. Every client is placed on a rotating deep clean schedule that ensures every area of their home is regularly detailed.
Before beginning regular service, EcoMaids performs an Initial Service Visit, a top-to-bottom deep clean that brings the home to a maintainable standard. After that, regular weekly or bi-weekly cleanings are shorter, more affordable, and just as effective.
EcoMaids also offers:
- Move-in/move-out cleanings
- Post-construction cleanups
- Office cleanings
- Add-on services like interior oven, fridge, window, and cabinet cleanings
A Focus on People: Employees and Clients
Emily emphasized that her team is at the heart of EcoMaids’ success. Employees go through a two-week onboarding and training program focused on quality, efficiency, and safety. Career advancement opportunities exist within the company—from team lead to general manager.
For customers, safety, trust, and time savings are top priorities. EcoMaids has clients with respiratory issues, mobility limitations, or simply busy lives who rely on the team to maintain a clean and healthy living space. Emily takes time to customize each cleaning plan, listening closely to individual needs and concerns to ensure satisfaction.
She shared an example of working with a couple who only used two of their four bedrooms—so she created a rotating cleaning plan that was both efficient and cost-effective. Through her CRM system, EcoMaids ensures customer preferences are recorded and respected, even if team members change.
A Local Business Built on Reputation
Emily lives in Toms River and is deeply committed to maintaining her reputation in the community. She meets with many clients in person to walk through their homes and discuss what they need. “I always want to be known for doing right by people,” she shared.
Her service area spans from Northern Ocean County to Southern Monmouth County, east of the Parkway, including ZIP codes 08753 and 08755.
