I own a residential house cleaning service and have been looking for ways to expand my business outside the traditional forms of marketing. I've done online ads, direct marketing, referral promotions, etc... I have been in business for 4 years, this last year I got out of the physical aspect of it so I could focus on growing, managing, client relations, and, the 100 other little things it takes to keep my team busy. Last year my company cleaned well over 800 houses. I currently have 12 girls that work for me, but as with any small business we're always looking for more!

I really believe in what I do: creating organized, clean living spaces. We strive to provide well-being in the lives of busy professionals, peaceful envionments devoid of stress, and through our efforts and hard work we completely anticipate happier, healthier and more productive clients.

I am not only looking to build my existing client base but also want to form a partnership with another cleaning organization to assist me with some of my larger projects (residential buildings).
