03 Mar 2026 Maid Brigade: A Clean Home is a Healthy Home
A clean home has a bigger impact than most people realize, especially for families. That concept inspired Robin Murphy, Chief Cleaning Officer of Maid Brigade, to leave her corporate career nearly 30 years ago to start a company devoted to helping people experience the true benefits of a cleaner, healthier home.
“I started Maid Brigade because I was juggling work and family life and couldn’t find reliable cleaning help I felt good about,” Robin says. “I was spending weekends cleaning — or fighting about cleaning — and I knew I couldn’t be the only one living that story.
“So I built a company that does it differently: trained cleaning pros, consistent service, and a real sense of care. Over time, it became more than a business — it became my mission to change how people think about housecleaning, because a clean home isn’t just ‘nice.’ It affects health, mood, relationships, all of it.”
Based in Westchester County, Maid Brigade provides professional house cleaning services for people who value their time, health, and the joy of coming home to a spotless space. Their highly trained cleaning professionals take pride in their craft, leaving every home fresh and sparkling.
“Maid Brigade runs on great people,” Robin explains. “Our cleaning pros are trained, hardworking, and take real pride in what they do — and they’re the reason our customers trust us with their homes. Our office team keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes, from scheduling to communication to all the little details that make the service feel easy and dependable. It’s a true team effort, and we’re proud of the people behind every clean.”
Robin doesn’t just lead the company; she shares her knowledge, too. She writes several articles a week to offer her expertise and counter the flood of unreliable information online. “I want to share honest, practical guidance that actually helps, whether someone hires us or not. One of my recent articles focused on how a clean home can affect kids’ sleep, behavior, and even homework success.”
Community support is also important to Maid Brigade’s mission. The company sponsors local Little League teams, supports schools and nonprofit fundraisers, and donates cleaning products, services, and gift certificates. During the pandemic, when disinfectants were hard to come by, Maid Brigade donated hundreds — possibly thousands — of gallons to help families feel safer at home.
They also partner with organizations such as Support Connection, Community Cares, and Hope’s Door to provide free cleanings for local families in need.
“Sometimes a clean home is more than a convenience,” Robin says. “It’s support when people really need it.”
After nearly three decades, Robin still takes enormous pride in her work and in redefining what it means to clean for a living. “Housecleaning is skilled, professional, and deeply connected to health and well-being,” she says. “The word ‘maid’ just doesn’t capture that.”
