The Green Queen

The Green Queen is a residential and commercial cleaning service based in Atlanta, Georgia, with a second location in Charlotte, North Carolina. Services are in-person only and include regular recurring cleanings, deep cleanings, move-in/move-out cleanings, post-construction/renovation cleanings, office cleanings, and a quick cleaning option.

The company was founded specifically to address the health risks of conventional chemical-based cleaning products. The website states that their programs cut the use of traditional chemicals by more than 50 percent, and that non-toxic, botanically-based cleaning is available as their recommended option. An important caveat from the site’s own disclaimer: the “green” claims apply only when their 100% botanically-based product options are selected and used per manufacturer instructions. If hybrid options are chosen, or if the customer supplies their own cleaning products, no green claims are made. The website does not name the specific product brands used, and does not explicitly mention fragrance-free formulations or accommodations for clients with chemical sensitivities.

The company was founded by Jennifer Hankey, who has a background in educating parents and professionals about the health effects of chemicals in everyday products, and the business extends beyond cleaning to include pest control, mosquito, termite, and turf care services under an eco-friendly framework.
