Hello! I am Angelica and I’m honored and delighted that you are here. I’d like to get to know you better and for you to get to know me better, so I will start by sharing 10 things about me!
Here it goes:
1. I love cleaning. You can say I’m one of those weird people who makes time for cleaning in a world where we don’t seem to have time for it all.
2. About 5 years ago, I turned my passion for cleaning into a business and Living to the Greenest was born. It began with a journey towards finding eco-friendly cleaning products that actually work, and now I share my tips and tricks with the world here in my blog.
3. I was born and raised in Colombia. Before I even knew I’d move to the US, I would pretend I spoke English in front of the mirror (and sing of course!).
4. The one meal I can not live without is Cafe con Leche and bread. Yes, I just called that a meal.
5. I love dancing and singing and I believe everyone should pursue and explore all the things they love.
6. If I had a super power, mine would be being able to see things most people don’t see. I just have a excellent eye and ear for details and pinpointing the root cause of issues. This comes in very handy not only in cleaning and teaching others how to clean effectively, but in all areas of my life as well.
7. I love to teach what I know. Teaching dance is something I started doing about a year ago; and it is one of my greatest gifts. Which reminds me, you’re never to old for anything and it’s never too late!
8. Now back to cleaning. I’ve always felt people in the cleaning industry were undervalued and underpaid; and on the other hand, people looking for the service can’t seem to find a reliable alternative. My mission is to bridge the gap by connecting artists &/or moms who find cleaning therapeutic; with people who care for their home and appreciate the service. All while providing living wages and an outstanding service.
9.I get distracted easily but if I do is because I think a lot! I feel I have so many things I want to do and explore and my brain is always thinking of the next thing!
10. I’m a night owl; I get a lot of energy at night and I also love to sleep!
Now it’s your turn! I’d love to know more about you 🙂

Shower glass doors are beautiful, aren’t they? They give your bathroom an upgraded and sophisticated look. But, if you have shower glass doors in your home, you know how frustrating it is to keep them looking nice and clean. And, we totally relate as we deal with hard water stains on glass doors and other surfaces everyday. But don’t worry, we’re going to show you how to clean and keep your shower doors and chrome fixtures looking great!
What’s Hard Water?
Hard water is just a fancy term for H2O with high mineral content. Once the water dries; the minerals calcify on the surface leaving surfaces like chrome and glass with those ugly white marks that over time make them look dull (yikes).
Most hard water stain removers are not eco-friendly; and the ones that are, don’t deliver what they promise. We are all about using effective, eco-friendly cleaning solutions. And let me tell you, we’ve never been so satisfied with a hard water stain remover until now!
Here are 5 reasons why we believe Bio Clean is the best hard water stain remover, and why we love using it in our business.
- Easy to Use. Simply apply Bio Clean on the surface using a cloth or sponge, rinse and dry. No elbow grease or wait time needed. TIP: We find that it works best when used with a damped cloth or sponge.
- No harsh smell. Harsh chemicals have a strong odor and usually our body warns us (dizziness, headaches, etc). Bio Clean has a slight pleasant smell. Working with this product is a pleasure.
- 2 in 1 product. This cleaner not only removes hard water stains, it adds a protective sealant in one simple step.
- Delivers on its Promise. This products works and it works well. If you have years of hard water buildup you may need more than one treatment, but expect a significant change on the first try.
- Eco-Friendly. This cleaner is not only eco-friendly, its non-toxic and biodegradable. Bonus: This product cleans difficult-to-clean surfaces with ease. Remove soap scum, mold, mildew, rust, etc.
All in all, we highly recommend this product as one of the best eco-friendly cleaning options in the market. You can check out before & after pictures on our Instagram & Facebook accounts.

Stainless steel appliances have been trending for quite a while, and although beautiful, most are kind of a pain to clean (there, I said it!)
I searched and tried multiple products (most far from eco-friendly), but none really worked easily and effectively. I had almost given up the search, and there, the e-cloth came along.
I was hesitant to give the e-cloth a try, but I’m so glad I did! E-cloth is a brand of premium microfiber products that clean with just water and removes 99% of bacteria. I received my Stainless steel 2-cloth pack and the instructions were simple and easy to follow. I sprayed my fridge’s stainless surfaces with just water, cleaned it with the scrubbing-stripe side along the grain, then polished it with the second cloth.
In less than 2 minutes, my fridge had a shiny streak-free finish! No fumes, no more frustrations trying to go over the streaky areas AND no more chemical products to buy. This is truly the most effective and efficient way to clean any stainless steel surface.
The price tag for this 2-cloth miracle pack is $14.99, and it’s totally worth the investment. No more products to buy, a 3-year warranty, easy and effective to use. And more importantly, no more lingering chemicals in your home!
