Real Austin homes
Before and after
Real results from Sage Essence non-toxic, fragrance-free house cleaning in Austin, Texas. No harsh chemicals, no masking scent, just a home that is genuinely clean.
What does a non-toxic clean actually look like?
Every pair below is a real Austin home cleaned by the Sage Essence LLC team, photographed before the visit and after it. The line under each pair says which service produces that result and what the team does during it.
Studio apartment
Reset for a new life in the space. Every surface, every corner, ready to breathe in.
A Move In / Out clean is what empties a studio like this one: cabinets and drawers wiped inside, appliances detailed, floors HEPA-vacuumed and mopped, and every surface finished with fragrance-free, plant-based products so whoever arrives next walks into clean air.
Shower
Grout brought back to its original color. Mold and build-up removed without bleach.
Deep Clean work on a shower means grout scrubbed by hand, soap scum and hard-water film dissolved, and glass and fixtures polished, all without bleach or ammonia, so the bathroom is sanitized with hypochlorous acid and still has no smell afterward.
Bathtub
Years of build-up lifted with plant-based products. No harsh fumes left behind for the next bath.
Years of build-up on a tub lift with plant-based cleaners and patience instead of chlorine. A Deep Clean covers the surround, the fixtures and the caulk line, and it leaves nothing behind that anyone has to breathe during the next bath.
Kitchen
Countertops cleared and sanitized with hypochlorous acid. No added fragrance near food.
In a Deep Clean the kitchen gets the longest visit: counters cleared and sanitized with hypochlorous acid, the stovetop and vent hood degreased, the sink and fixtures polished, and no added fragrance left on the surfaces where food is made.
Bedroom
Beds made, surfaces cleared, rugs aired. The dust you can't see, gone.
A General Clean bedroom is mostly about the dust you cannot see: beds made, surfaces cleared, and floors and rugs passed with a HEPA-filter vacuum instead of pushing dust back into the room. A HEPA filter can theoretically remove at least 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 microns in size (EPA).
Guest bedroom
Linens reset, pillows arranged, the room ready for whoever arrives next.
Guest rooms sit unused and quietly collect dust, so a General Clean in Austin resets the linens, wipes sills, frames, switches and handles, and finishes with a HEPA pass, ready for whoever arrives and breathable for a guest with allergies.
Living room
Throws folded, cushions plumped, surfaces actually clean, not just smelling clean.
The living room is where fragrance usually lingers after a conventional clean. Sage Essence uses no scent at all, so cushions, throws, shelves and floors are genuinely clean in Austin homes, and the room smells like nothing once the team leaves.
