A clean space should feel like a breath of fresh air — not leave you wondering what you just breathed in.
At Crum Cleaning, we believe professional-grade results and family-safe ingredients aren’t mutually exclusive. (Yes, it’s possible!) That’s why we’ve carefully selected cleaning products that cut through dirt, grease, and grime without relying on the harsh chemical cocktails found in many traditional cleaners — the kind that come with six paragraphs of warnings and a suggestion to “ventilate the area thoroughly.” Not fun.
The problem with conventional cleaning products? Many contain ingredients that linger long after the cleaning crew leaves — strong chemical odors, residues that irritate skin and eyes, and compounds that can aggravate asthma, allergies, and sensitivities. For families with young children, pets, or anyone with a nose, that’s not a tradeoff worth making. And for businesses? Nobody wants their customers or employees walking into a freshly cleaned office that smells like a chemistry lab.
Homeowners and business owners alike deserve better. And that’s exactly what we deliver.
Our team uses products that are tough on messes and gentle on the people — and Garfield and Lassie — who share your space. Every product we choose goes through the same standard John Crum applies to every job: Would I use this in my own home? If the answer isn’t a confident yes, it doesn’t make the cut.
Why We Chose Safer Products
Every product we use is selected with four priorities in mind:
- Effective cleaning performance — because “safer” means nothing if it doesn’t actually clean
- Safety for families and pets when used as directed
- Reduced environmental impact
- Professional-quality results that make you do a double-take when you walk back in
Here’s a look at the products we trust in our clients’ homes and businesses.
H from Shaklee — Our Everyday Cleaning Powerhouse
If we had to pick one product we couldn’t live without, H would be a serious contender. This all-purpose cleaner handles everyday dirt, grease, fingerprints, and grime with a plant-based formula that won’t have you reaching for a gas mask.
- Concentrated formula — a little goes a long way
- Plant-based and biodegradable
- Safe on many washable household and commercial surfaces
- No harsh chemical residue — just clean
It’s our go-to for kitchen counters, cabinets, bathrooms, appliances, doors, baseboards, and walls. When your space is cleaned with H, you get exceptional results without the chemical concert your nose didn’t ask for.
Basic G from Shaklee — Professional-Strength Disinfecting
Let’s clear something up: cleaning and disinfecting are not the same thing.
Cleaning removes dirt. Disinfecting eliminates germs. And sometimes — especially in bathrooms, kitchens, and high-traffic commercial spaces — you need both.
Basic G from Shaklee delivers professional disinfecting performance using biodegradable surfactants. (That’s the fancy word for the cleaning agents that actually lift and remove the gross stuff. Nobody uses it in casual conversation, but it looks great on a label.)
One bottle produces thousands of bottles of ready-to-use cleaner. That means less plastic waste, more value, and a lot less guilt at the recycling bin.
- Cleans, disinfects, and deodorizes — triple threat
- Highly concentrated
- Multi-surface use
- Ideal for high-touch surfaces, bathrooms, kitchens, offices, and commercial spaces
Scour Off by Shaklee — Tough on Stains, Gentle on Your Home
Sometimes a space needs a little extra muscle. Scour Off is our not-so-secret weapon against the stubborn stuff that regular cleaners wave the white flag at.
We’re talking:
- Soap scum that’s been there since 2019
- Hard water deposits
- Rust stains
- Burned-on food
- Mineral buildup that’s basically become part of the fixture
Unlike many abrasive cleaners, Scour Off tackles these messes without chlorine bleach or harsh fumes. It’s one of our favorite products for restoring sinks, tubs, shower doors, tile, and stainless steel to their former glory.
Naturally It’s Clean Floors — Because Your Floors Work Hard
Floors take a beating. They’re walked on, spilled on, and occasionally used as a dog bed. They deserve better than a cleaner that just pushes dirt around or leaves a sticky residue behind.
Naturally It’s Clean Floors uses plant-based enzymes that actually break down dirt and odors instead of simply masking them with artificial fragrance. The result? Floors that are genuinely clean — not just clean-ish with a fake lemon scent.
- Enzyme-powered cleaning
- Safe for children and pets when used as directed
- Plant-based and biodegradable
- No sticky residue
- Works beautifully on many hard floor surfaces
Why This Matters
Every day we’re invited into homes across Kansas City and the greater Midwest where families spend time together. We’re invited into offices where people spend eight hours a day. We’re trusted in spaces that matter to people. And we take that seriously.
That’s why the products we use aren’t an afterthought. They’re part of the job.
Our cleaning philosophy is simple:
- Use products that work exceptionally well. No compromises.
- Minimize unnecessary harsh chemicals.
- Protect the surfaces in your home or business.
- Leave every space fresh — not overwhelmed by fumes or artificial fragrances.
Professional cleaning should give you peace of mind, not a new set of concerns about what’s been sprayed throughout your space.
