Sustainable cleaning business Eco Steam is targeting growth and job creation after receiving a five-figure investment from the North East Small Loan Fund.
The firm, which is based in Newcastle, provides cleaning and sanitation services to domestic and commercial clients using environmentally friendly cleaning products that don’t contain bleach, ammonia or harmful waste chemicals.
The company was founded after married couple Rachael and Temur Kuronbeov noticed that Temur’s allergies flared up due to the dust in carpets and soft furnishings in the UK. They identified a gap in the North East market for a greener cleaning business and Eco Steam now has a client base that includes The Centre For Life and Northumbrian Water.
