A Clean Sweep

Zen Organic Cleaning

You appreciate your piece of NY real estate for its charm, history, and landmark status.

However, prewar grime between your bathroom tiles is another story.

Time to meet the hardworking souls at Zen Home Cleaning Service, enlightened housekeepers who use ecofriendly and organic products to scrub, scour, vacuum,  polish, and transform your sprawling loft (okay, minuscule studio) into an aromatherapeutic Zen den.

Imagine: spotless windows, shining countertops, sparkly hardwood, and squeaky-clean ovens. Zen Home stops at nothing to get the job done. (Our 700-square-foot tenement took five hours, which is more than we clean in a month.)

Zen Home Cleaning Service also does laundry, changes sheets, fluffs pillows, and turns down beds. In their wake, they leave a small bowl of potpourri and organic chocolates. You had a hard day — so take a moment to breathe deeply, relax, and enjoy your space.

It may be the closest you come to enlightenment.
