Methodology Note

The Parisian Standard: A Clean Beyond Surface-Level

Our approach isn't about novelty; it's a systematic response to Parisian architecture and urban living. The 'Parisian Standard' is a protocol we developed after three years of testing in Haussmann apartments, where traditional methods often fail against original hardwood, plaster moldings, and century-old stone.

Every service begins with a 10-minute Material Audit. We identify surface porosity, finish types, and potential sensitivities before any solution is applied. This isn't an upsell—it's a necessity. Using a high-pH cleaner on a limestone floor or a solvent on lacquered furniture can cause irreversible damage within minutes.

We exclusively use a curated, fragrance-free product line from two European eco-labs: EcoLogic for degreasing and Bio-D for fiber care. They're effective against urban grime—petrochemical residues, diesel particulates—yet safe for children, pets, and those with chemical sensitivities. The final step is always a 'Light & Air' check: ensuring no residue remains and the space feels as fresh as it looks.

Process in Focus: The Material Audit

Before any cloth touches a surface, we spend 10 minutes mapping the room. This isn't hesitation—it's precision. We identify original finishes, map high-traffic zones, and note any client sensitivities. This short investment prevents thousands in restoration costs.

This practice emerged from client reports of 'dulled' finishes after standard cleaning. Our audit ensures we match chemistry to material.

Evidence & Pitfalls

What We See & What We Avoid

"They noticed the baseboards. The last company never did."

— A. Dubois, 7th Arrondissement

"Requested extra attention to balcony doors. Team left a note confirming completion and buffed out a small water spot we’d missed."

— L. Martinez, 11th Arrondissement

The Tools & The Why

Our Toolkit: Equipment & Product Philosophy

Equipment: Miele HEPA vacuums for allergen containment, Kärcher steam cleaners for grout and tile (eliminating chemical use), and extendable microfiber dusters for high ceilings in Haussmann apartments.

Products: Sourced from two European eco-labs. EcoLogic (Germany) for degreasing, Bio-D (UK) for laundry, and a custom-mixed, fragrance-free disinfectant for high-touch surfaces. All delivered in refillable containers.

Quick Glossary: Our Opinion

"Why we avoid chlorine bleach on natural stone: It etches the surface, creating permanent dull marks. We use hydrogen peroxide-based alternatives for a safer, effective clean that respects the material."
