The eco-friendly cleaning market in Bayonne and the Basque Country is growing rapidly - and with it, providers who claim to be "natural" without truly having the means to be. How can you tell a genuine eco-friendly professional apart from an ordinary provider who simply changed their marketing pitch? Four objective criteria help you avoid being misled.
The 4 objective criteria of a true eco-friendly provider
A true eco-friendly cleaning provider can be recognized by four objective criteria:
1. Equipment: a professional steam cleaner (Kärcher SC5, Polti type) capable of reaching 130°C for genuine disinfection (excluding steam vacuums or low-end cleaners).
2. Products: exclusive use of natural products (baking soda, soda crystals, white vinegar, Marseille soap). The provider should not use products that are only "mostly" eco-friendly.
3. Certification: holding a Services à la Personne (NOVA) approval number, essential to benefit from the 50% tax credit.
4. References: being able to provide verifiable client contacts, Google reviews, or named testimonials.
It is recommended to ask direct questions before signing: the professional should be able to precisely name their equipment and limit their list of additional products to a maximum of 5 ingredients. Vague answers are red flags.
A true eco-friendly provider leaves no ambiguity about their equipment, products, and certification.
Questions to ask before signing
Before signing, ask these questions directly: Which steam cleaner model do you use? (a professional knows the brand and model) Which additional products do you use? (the list should have a maximum of 5 ingredients) Can you give me client references to contact? (a good provider will agree without hesitation) What is your Services à la Personne (NOVA) certification number? (verifiable on nova.travail-emploi.gouv.fr) Do you provide an annual tax certificate? (required for the tax credit) Vague or hesitant answers to these questions are red flags.

Tip
Check your provider's Services à la Personne certification number on nova.travail-emploi.gouv.fr - without a valid NOVA certification, the 50% tax credit is not possible.
