Mint Handover, a Manchester-based end of tenancy cleaning company, has completed its transition to eco-safe certified cleaning products across all services. The company reports no change to its 94% first-time inspection pass rate since making the switch.
The shift required sourcing professional-grade eco products capable of handling Manchester's specific challenges-particularly the 275mg/L hard water that causes stubborn limescale in bathrooms and kitchens. Standard eco-friendly household products often lack the strength for end of tenancy standards, where letting agents use detailed inspection checklists.
"The assumption is that eco means weaker," said Jason Steel, founder of Mint Handover. "It took us months to find the right products-enzyme-based degreasers, plant-derived descalers that actually work on Manchester limescale. We tested everything against agency inspection standards before switching. Our pass rate hasn't dropped."
The company now uses biodegradable degreasers for kitchen deep cleans, enzyme-based carpet treatments that break down organic stains without harsh chemicals, and plant-acid descalers for bathroom limescale. All products carry Eco-Safe certification and are free from phosphates, chlorine bleach, and synthetic fragrances.
With over 2,400 end of tenancy cleans completed across Greater Manchester postcodes M1 to M90, the environmental impact reduction is significant. The switch also benefits tenants with allergies or chemical sensitivities, and leaves no harsh residues in properties about to welcome new occupants.
