Delegate your green cleaning work, part 2

Dear Siel, thank you so much for your work! I just found your blog while researching LA area green cleaning companies. I'm curious. You mentioned in part II of the series that you found 4 companies that provide green cleaning. Besides the 2 featured (Cool Earth & Maid Brigade), did you mention the name of the other 2 companies? Please re-print if so.

Thanks!

p.s.- I've personally tried a company named LA Maid based in Toluca Lake and they are fantastic! I hope they were one of your finds.

The post 'bout the other 2 companies is linked to at the v. top of the post -- Here it is again :) Happy cleaning :)
