The Grateful Cleaner

Being a House Cleaner is kinda like being a barber or a hairdresser.. Over time, many customers become friends and your lives spill over into each others.

Sometimes I am invited in to clean for special occasions. A Shower, a Party, an Anniversary.. lots of times it's for something really fun.

Only sometimes it's for something else. Family is coming to town for something profoundly sad. Someone has passed away.

Today was one of those days. One of my most wonderful customers passed away earlier this week and today I came again to clean and he was not there. His favorite chair was there.. His desk and all his other belongings were there- but not him. No more funny stories while we visit; no more having the Golf Channel on his big HD-TV, and no more of lots of other nice things that happen between customers and friends.

The House Cleaner job is not one that a lot of people might choose. Of course it has its ups and downs just like any other vocation. On the other hand, the House Cleaner often times experiences life with others in some unique and very special ways. I am grateful for that.

Can A Man Really Clean?

There are a lot of people that clean houses. And there are a lot of companies that will provide cleaning services. But there are not a lot of companies like Tower Cleaning Services. Last week, Doug, the owner of Tower Cleaning Services, was asked...

“Can a man really clean?”

I chuckled when I heard that the question was asked, but I also knew that this person had never experienced Doug’s high level of expertise when it comes to cleaning.

Seeing as someone had thought it, I assumed that it might be a question on people’s minds. Therefore, I thought I would take a few posts to tell why Tower Cleaning Services is unlike any other cleaning company, and how a man truly can clean.

The first reason is that Tower Cleaning Services pays attention to the details.

Sometimes cleaning companies can get the main big things, but skip over the detailed cleaning. They'll vacuum, but will miss several spots, and will definitely forget to pick up the corner of the rug and clean under it. Or, they might clean the bathroom, but forget to clean behind the bathroom door. But, not Doug! He is into the details. He loves being able to not only clean your home, but clean it in a way that is thorough and complete. Not just a skimming, but a deep cleaning. Now, that’s my kind of clean!

I'll have you know, that the same person who asked that question, "Can a man really clean?" now has Doug cleaning weekly for them! I guess that answers that question!

Do you have any stories of a cleaning service that didn't pay attention to detail? If so, do tell! I can reassure you that it would not have been Doug! He has a special way to make sure that never happens...but I'll save that for next time!

Drum Roll, Please...

When you think about cleaning, sometimes there can be a knot in the pit of your stomach about all that you have to do. It's not so much that you have to clean, but, that you have to clean so much. So often.

We've found that many people feel overwhelmed when they think of all that there is to do with "keeping their house clean". It seems that it's enough just to keep things straightened up and put away, much less really get to deep clean.

Tower Cleaning will come in and take care of the deep cleaning, to allow your time best spent where it matters. Let us do the bathrooms, the fingerprints on the windows, the dust bunnies in the corners, and the spots on the carpet. The grit and grime that takes too long to ever get to, but drives you crazy because you know it's there. The sticky stuff that is still on the cabinet doors in the kitchen from a spill two weeks ago. The cobwebs high in the corners that are just too far out of reach to take time to get. And the list goes on, as you well know. Let us do the cleaning, so that you can do what really matters.

Today's lucky winner today is Ariane!

For the rest of you, we still have something for you! In appreciation of supporting our new blog, as Doug says on his website, he'll "give you $25 in free cleaning, just to try our home cleaning services!" Call us today to be on your way to a cleaner home.
