I am particular when I clean, and I genuinely enjoy cleaning. Unfortunately, I don’t always have the time or energy to clean as often and thoroughly as I would typically like to.
I once used to think that hiring a cleaning crew was cheating and a luxury. Yes, it is certainly a luxury to pay for peace of mind, but when your surroundings are tidy, and you can put time and energy into other things, it isn’t cheating when we live in an age where the work-life balance dominates the ticking clock.
While I was proud to clean my home from top to bottom, by the time I was done, I would be exhausted, and it became difficult to be able to make the time to stay on top of it when my work schedule demands my time.
So, I swallowed my pride and began asking around about cleaning ladies. Plot twist: more people than I anticipated are employing cleaning crews.
I asked everyone I knew for references and recommendations. It’s important to mention that I began utilizing cleaning crews six years ago (and have been through a few.)
– The first cleaning lady (2018) stole from me (the joke was on me: I didn’t do a background check.)
– The second cleaning lady (2020) was unable to travel to my new home when I moved.
– The third cleaning lady (2023) was a wonderful Ukranian woman who left back to Ukraine a year after the war broke out.
After the third cleaning lady left, I ran myself ragged interviewing new cleaning crews – until I found Maria!
Danielle Cabral from Bravo’s Real Housewives of New Jersey introduced me to Maria of Maria’s Cleaning Service. Danielle and I live in the same town, and since I know Danielle through other people I know and trust, learning that Maria was taking on new clients was as if my prayers had been answered!
“Maria has been a blessing in my life. Not only does she leave my house sparkling, but it’s always a joy to be in her presence.” – Danielle Cabral, RHONJ
Five/Six years ago, I needed to consider a few factors that had originally kept me from taking the plunge and hiring a cleaning lady.
– First, my family lives very far, too far to lend a helping hand with the things I needed to do around the house.
– Second, my home is large, so I was unsure if someone would take on the challenge.
– Lastly, could I trust someone to come into my home and around my belongings? (After being robbed by my first cleaning lady, it took me a long time to want to trust another!)
Maria’s Cleaning Service ticked all of my boxes. I was blessed to have found a crew I could trust. By finding Maria through a friend, a weight was lifted off of my shoulders. Moreover, Maria and her team work quickly and efficiently together. In less than 2 hours, the crew cleans my 4,500 sq. ft. house. By the time they’re done, my home is SPARKLING. Maria’s Cleaning Service has been cleaning my home for the last few months, and while she is taking on new clients (RUN, don’t walk,) I can confidently say that I’ve never been happier with a cleaning crew IN MY LIFE!

Disclosure: It may be an awkward term to refer to the person/crew coming to clean my home and business as a cleaning lady. My cleaning crew happens to be all female, but men can certainly step into the profession. This article is a first-hand personal success story with Maria’s Cleaning Service, and my intention is not to offend any cleaning men in the industry.
