Everyone at Maid Brigade is so happy that we won BEST OF for the second year in a row.
Not because we love a trophy, but because it reflects something we’ve believed for nearly 30 years: a clean home matters more than most people realize.
It affects your mood, your health, your stress level, your relationships, even your ability to think clearly at the end of a long day.
Housecleaning Is Healthkeeping
We don’t think of what we do as simply housecleaning. We think of it as healthkeeping.
A clean home supports the way you sleep, breathe, think, and feel. That idea shaped Maid Brigade from the beginning. We chose eco-friendly products and moved away from harsh chemicals long before it was trendy because a home should feel healthier after we clean it, not just shinier.
A lot of our customers come to us because someone in the family has allergies, asthma, sensitivities, or young kids. They’re not looking for the cheapest option. They’re looking for someone they can trust in their home. That’s a different thing entirely.
The Story Behind the Service
I started Maid Brigade because I knew that feeling: a baby, a career, a house that wasn’t going to clean itself, and weekends disappearing into chores. What I realized, and what I’ve built this company around, is that professional housecleaning isn’t a luxury or a shortcut. A clean home may not solve every problem, but it makes life feel a whole lot better.
We have clients whose homes we clean weekly, every other week, or every month, some for almost three decades. And we help plenty of others when they’re moving in, moving out, hosting family, or just need the house to stop looking like life happened all over it.
We don’t think of a new customer as a transaction. We think of them as the beginning of a relationship that lasts.
The Team Behind the Clean
None of this works without the people who actually do it.
Our housecleaning pros are skilled professionals who are trained, supported, and take pride in the work they do in our customers’ homes. And our office team takes care of the thousands of behind-the-scenes details that make the whole experience feel smooth, reliable, and personal.
We’re proud to have employees who stay in an industry known for high turnover. We’ve been ranked a Best Place to Work three years running, and that doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because we work hard to make Maid Brigade a place people want to stay.
That same commitment to care extends beyond the homes we clean and into the communities we serve, from supporting organizations like Support Connection and Hope’s Door to sponsoring community concerts and local little league teams.
Our customers who stay with us year after year are staying because of the people caring for them and their homes. This award belongs to them.
