ABOUT CRAZY CLEAN AND THE CRAZY CLEANER BEHIND IT!

A lot of people have asked me how I got into residential cleaning as a profession, and it all started in the Fall of 1997 when I was asked by my husband if I could help him strip and wax a kitchen floor. The home owner was so impressed with our work that she t wasn’t long before that first job turned into several other opportunities, and I had a great part time job through my husband for 10 years. Then one day Pat told me that I have what it takes to go on my own, and I could do better by working for myself. As I sat and thought about different business names, I came up with Crazy Clean. You See: Most people just aren’t as “Crazy About Cleaning” as I am.

As time went on, I started to figure out what set me apart from my competition, and I found out that a lot of customers appreciated coming home to beds that were stripped down and made with fresh laundered linens. Doing laundry between vacuuming and dusting was also appreciated, because that was one less mundane task that the customer didn’t have to deal with. Another task that I do that a lot of my customers love is when I do their dishes for them and then run their dishwasher and empty it before I leave.

There is one issue that I haven’t covered yet, and that is experience, communication, and trust. There is a lot more to cleaning a persons living area then just vacuuming and dusting. I have over 15 years of hands on experience in this profession, and I have also attended several seminars on carpet cleaning, floor care, and which chemicals work best for each cleaning scenario. Communication with customers is also very important, and what works in a 2 bedroom rambler might be totally different then a 6,000 square foot estate. The cleaning business is not a one size fits all profession, and that is why I offer customized cleaning procedures and can offer customized tasks and budgets for every job that I do. Not every customer wants every inch of their living space cleaned every time, and some customers are also on a budget and only want to spend a set amount. The final major concern I have faced with a lot of prospects and customers is trust. I have done work for a broad variety of customers living in everything from 1 bedroom apartments to 6,500 square foot estates, and several of those customers have been with me for 5-10 years. Some of these customers are like family to me, and I have even been known to attend some of their social events. One of the things I enjoy about my job the most is I get to meet a broad variety of people, and references are available upon request.
