We Give You Your Money's Worth!!


Today I was cleaning for a wonderful elderly couple, George and Phyllis. They are kind, intelligent and fun people. They are also perfect people for us to clean for.. Because of their advancing years, they are just not able to do all the things that they used to do. This includes lots of the details of keeping the house clean.

As I was cleaning today, George said to me; "Well Doug, once again you've done what we no longer can do. We are thankful for you." I felt good right away, knowing that what I do is helpful and needed. Not only does it put food on the table for us, it provides a lot of satisfaction, knowing that Tower Cleaning Services is helping people.


By the way, we love cleaning for the Elderly. They are a vast resource of knowledge, wisdom, history, culture and humor- to name just a few. I kid around by saying to folks on the way out sometimes that I try to give you your money's worth.. I do part work, part entertainment and part visitation. One way or another, you'll be happy! People invariably laugh when I say that.

What I also mean to say is that what I get in return is often much more than just a financial reward..

ps that's not George in the photo. That's another elderly fellow- my Dad. He's pretty cool too.

Cleaning Can Be Very Interesting! And Fun too!


So I have this great family that I clean for...Dad, Mom, and three little kids and a dog. I get to visit some and find out what's going on with them sometimes. My daughter plays with the kids there sometimes too. They were all watching The Brady Bunch on the big couch together recently.

Anyways, what is really interesting is that the Mother has just had her first book published!

It was released today! It's at Barnes and Noble and on Amazon and all that stuff. Her name is Emily Freeman, and the Title of her first book is Grace For The Good Girl. It's been exciting to see bits and pieces of the book coming together and going off to get edited and published and now on the shelves of the stores. Cool stuff- I clean for an Author now! And get this; she has already written another book! Go Emily!
