We started Sandia Green Clean in 2017 for several reasons. Not only did we want to have a cleaning company we could trust, but we also wanted to make sure that the products being used were eco-friendly and that the company was friendly and reliable. But, one of the biggest reasons we started our own cleaning company was that we wanted to make sure that the individuals cleaning our homes were being taken care of.

Unfortunately, many Albuquerque companies aren’t known for taking care of their hard-working employees, especially when they’re Spanish-only speakers and/or recent immigrants. In fact, another cleaning company in town was just accused of wage theft, reportedly withholding pay from its employees and not paying for overtime hours worked.

This is one of the big reasons that Sandia Green Clean is so different from all of the other cleaning companies in Albuquerque.

Not only do we pay each and every one of our employees an actual living wage, but we also offer bonuses and health care options so that they can take care of themselves and their families. Our employees are the highest paid home cleaners in the entire state and, because of the effort we go to to make their work environment safe and fun, our teams stick together for years.

At Sandia Green Clean, we understand that if you want to do something the right way, you also have to treat your people the right way. And that’s something we have strived to do from day one.

So, if you’re looking for the best home cleaners in the city to help take care of your home so that you can get your time back and #claimyourweekend, you can set up a free estimate right now!

And, if you’re looking to work for the best home cleaning company in the state, we’re always on the lookout for new team members. Apply here!

Questions about our cleaning teams

Does Sandia Green Clean pay its cleaners a living wage?
Yes. Taking care of the people who clean our customers' homes is one of the main reasons we started the company in 2017. We pay every employee a living wage and offer bonuses and health care options, so our teams can take care of themselves and their families.
Why does it matter how a cleaning company treats its employees?
Teams that are treated well tend to stay, and a team that stays learns your home. With us, the same trained team comes every visit, so you are not explaining your preferences to a new crew each time. It also means you can feel good about who you are supporting when you hire help.
Is Sandia Green Clean hiring house cleaners?
We are always on the lookout for good people who want to work for a company that treats its team the right way. Our teams use green products with no harsh chemicals, and we work hard to keep the work environment safe and fun. You can see open roles and apply on our careers page.
