My Cleaning Business Story: Turning a Love for Cleaning into Success

Every business has a beginning, and this is my cleaning business story.
Long before EcoKleen was even an idea, I loved helping my friends clean their homes. It wasn’t just about making things look nice—it was about creating spaces that felt fresh, organized and comfortable to live in.
My friends started calling me “magic hands” because, as they put it, everything I touched sparkled. They'd joke about how I should start my own cleaning business. At first, I laughed it off, but the idea stuck with me. With their encouragement, I decided to go for it, and in 2011, EcoKleen Janitorial Services Inc. was born.
Why I Built an Eco-Friendly Cleaning Business
I’ve always believed that cleaning is about more than just scrubbing surfaces. It’s about creating a safe and healthy environment for everyone who lives and works there. That's why EcoKleen has always prioritized eco-friendly cleaning practices.
Over the years, I've seen how much of a difference green cleaning can make:
It’s safer for families: Eco-friendly products don’t rely on harsh chemicals, making them better for kids, pets, and anyone with allergies or sensitivities.
It improves air quality: Many traditional cleaning products release harmful fumes, but eco-friendly alternatives keep the air fresh and safe.
It’s better for the planet: Using biodegradable and sustainable products helps reduce pollution and waste, protecting our environment for future generations.
EcoKleen isn’t just about cleaning—it’s about making a positive impact on the people and spaces we care for.
What My Cleaning Business Story Looks Like Now
Fast forward 14 years, and life is a little busier these days.
Today, I’m proud to manage a growing team of hardworking professionals who share my commitment to providing exceptional service. Together, we help homes and businesses maintain clean, healthy spaces.
At the same time, I’m a mom to four wonderful kids under the age of 7. Between soccer practices, swimming lessons, and bedtime stories, let’s just say I know what it’s like to have a full plate.
That’s why I understand how overwhelming it can feel to keep up with cleaning when life gets messy. It’s also why I’m so passionate about helping others enjoy the relief of a clean, stress-free space.
