Eating Something Other Than Turkey in Fort Walton Beach

Our Fort Walton Beach office has accomplished two awesome feats over the last six months. Number one - we've added a bunch of new customers!! That's always a good thing for a business, right?? But more importantly, we haven't lost one single employee in that six month timeframe. We've had zero employee turnover we've only hired new people due to our increase in business.

The seven awesome people pictured above have been with our our business for at least six months. Just before Thanksgiving, our manager - Elicia - took them out for a quick bite to eat (minus the turket & dressing)

Update on Two Maids & A Mop of Nashville

Two Maids & A Mop recently opened its fifth location in Nashville, TN. We're only about five weeks old but we've already sold our services to more than 50 homeowners across the greater Nashville area. Plus, we've recently hired our first Office Manager. Kristina Chastain is Two Maids & A Mop's newest manager and she's proven (in a short time) that she's the perfect fit for our company. No matter if you live in Florida or Alabama or Tennessee - you can bet that our company is way different than your normal house cleaning company. Kristina is just another example of why our people & our company are just plain different!!

By the way, here's an easy way to save $25 bucks in Nashville >> Nashville Cleaning Services

Our People Make Us Different

Shelly Guthrie has recently been promoted to our Training Manager position in Birmingham. She's one of the hardest working people you'll ever meet and she's just a good person to boot! Shelly has only been with our company for a few months but her constant smile and great work ethic vaulted her to the top of the heap in record time. Thanks Shelly for going the extra mile all the time!!

We clean the entire Birmingham area, including Trussville >> Trussville Maid Services

Pumpkin Carving Party in Fort Walton Beach

We decided to toss away the brooms and mops and have a little fun in our Fort Walton Beach office. Our superstar manager - Elicia - devised a plan to hold a pumpkin carving contest.



Everyone had so much fun that the party lasted nearly four full hours!! Yes, there was some free food and free drinks but our people wanted to stick around the office that long because our people are just that awesome!! We have some great people working here!! Plus, we have some pretty good pumpkin carvers too. Check out the winners...

Great Testimonial in Panama City

"I wanted to see if Two Maids & A Mop could make me happy so I purchased an initial Deep Cleaning. If the cleaning was good, then I had planned on using them every two weeks. All I can say is that I was very pleased with the end result. My home looked totally different after the cleaning!! Plus, they performed the cleaning in an efficient amount of time. The girls were extremely friendly and courteous to all my needs. I'll definitely be using them every two weeks and I can't wait for my next cleaning. Thanks for everything!!" Jo Ann Williams of Panama City, FL

Panama City or Bust!!

Here's one of our awesome employees in Panama City. Her name is Brezy and she's breezed her way through tons of homes since she's been with our company. We've got a great team in Panama City - no doubt about it!!

P.S. Can someone please tell me how to get the date off my camera?? As you can see, January 1st, 2006 is just a little incorrect.

Nashville Is Open For Business!!

Two Maids & A Mop has officially opened for business in Nashville, TN!! It's always exciting times when we open in another market but Nashville has really exploded in our first few days. We've had tons of publicity ranging from radio spots to newspaper articles. We were even lucky enough to be featured on the local NBC affiliate lunchtime newscast!! The interview is linked below for your viewing pleasure.... (that's me to the right trying to look like a country music star - trying being the keyword!!)


Nashville TV Interview

In the last two days, we've already signed up 14 new clients, talked to more than 50 potential clients and registered more than 1,000 new people for our newsletter!! Crazy - just plain crazy!!

Meet Our People in Pensacola

We've got some wonderful girls working here at Two Maids & A Mop. Many of you see them all the time inside your home but not everyone gets to know them on a personal level. Everyone already knows that our people are really hard workers but many of our employees are also hard working mothers too.

In Pensacola, we've had three people have babies recently. Amazingly, each of them delivered three girls!! You'll see their pretty pictures to the right. On the left, Christi just delivered and beautiful girl named Emily. In the middle, Regina just delivered a pretty girl named Peyton. And on the right, Diana recently had another beautiful girl named Ryan.

These three girls have been with our company for a long time and they're already back at work helping you. They're dedicated workers - for sure - but even more dedicated mothers!! If you see them inside your home, tell'em I said "Thanks".

Smiling in Birmingham!!

There's a lot of smiling faces in our Birmingham office!! It's been a crazy twelve months since our grand opening & we've exceeded every single goal. Take a look at our awesome employees. Without them, Two Maids & A Mop wouldn't be close to the same kind of business. Our people are different and this crazy (and blurry) picture proves it!!

Cleaning Up & Making People Happy in Crestview

"Elicia & Theresa do such a winderful job cleaning my house. Not only is the service great, but I enjoy their company too. Being new in town, I didn't kow a lot of people.

Crazy Meeting In Fort Walton Beach

We held a meeting last Thursday in Fort Walton Beach. Our Panama City Manager (Rachel), our Fort Walton Beach manager (Elicia) and myself all attended. I'll spare you all the boring details of our meetings but I will let you in on the crazy events from last Thursday.

Just before lunch, I noticed that my car was no longer in my parking space. Turns out, the parking space wasn't even a parking space - it was a tow away zone!! So my truck was towed and it cost a fortune to get it out of the lot.

Since my truck was gone, we used Rachel's truck to drive to lunch. The lunch was fun and the food wad good. But the good times died very quickly as we proceeded out of the restaurant. Rachel's truck was the victim of a hit & run in the parking lot!!

Obviously, it was a crazy two hours from lunchtime to 2 PM - to say the least. The picture above represents some of those "good times" during our lunch. Needless to say, Elicia & Rachel were glad to say goodbye to me. No more meetings for a while.....

How We Clean Houses in Panama City

"I am writing to just let you know how please I am with Two Maids & A Mop. I am most impressed with the DUSTING- I hate dust and Paula and Starla obviously hate it as much as I do. When they leave, there are NO traces of dust anywhere. I have seen them even dust the cord to my phone, and that is heaven! They also are as attentive to everything in my house, including my dog (that's most important), they are fun too!! Keep up the good work and I will continue as a customer forever. Thank you all!!"

P.S.- I tell all my friends about what a good service you provide!!!

Lunch in Birmingham

We had a great time today in Birmingham. We've been so busy that we haven't had a chance to take a break & enjoy some good times together. Today, we all had lunch together and it was a great time. Everyone laughed, talked and ate some good BBQ. If I'm not mistaken, we only talked about housecleaning for about five minutes!!

True Story in Panama City

Here's a quick story of a long time customer in Panama City. Sonja is pictured above & her story is worth telling to everyone. Sonja had used our service a few years ago. She was extremely happy with the service but she kept receiving lower bids on her home. So - like most people - she decided to give the other cleaning companies a try. The results weren't very good. After a few months of trying two other companies - she came back to Two Maids & A Mop and she's been one of our most loyal customers since.

I don't blame Sonja. She's no different than you or me. Who doesn't want to save a little money?? But in the housecleaning world, you're seriously rolling the dice because tons of bad things could happen in your home. If you're lucky, a bad housecleaner will just be a bad housecleaner. But if you're unlucky, a bad housecleaner may break something so valuable that she can't reimburse you for the damage. And if you're real unlucky, a bad housecleaner may actually steal from you. It's a sad statement but true nonetheless. With unemployment at an all-time high, there's more and more housecleaning "companies" popping up everyday.

You have to live it to understand it. But I'll try to convince you right now. Hiring just any 'ol housecleaning company is the same as spinning the roulette wheel. Somebody has to win, but more than likely - it ain't gonna be you!! Just listen to Sonja if you need more convincing....

"Two Maids & A Mop is my last cleaning service. I've tried just about everyone in town & no one compares to this company. Rachel is always on top of things and they really seem to care about my house. I'll never call another cleaning person. Two Maids & A Mop is it for me!" Sonja of Panama City, FL

Meet Our New Training Manager in Fort Walton Beach

Before we introduce our newest Training Manager, let me say goodbye to our former Training Manager. Melissa has worked for Two Maids & A Mop in Fort Walton Beach for more than two years. She's trained several new employees & she's ran the office when our manager was absent many, many times. Melissa plans to open her own business (not a cleaning business!) and we wish her the best of luck!! Thanks Melissa for working so hard!!



Julie is our new Training Manager and she's extremely excited about her recent promotion. She's been with Two Maids & A Mop since 2007 and she's made lots of customers happy over the years. If you're a current customer, you already know why we promoted her to this position. Congratulations Julie!!

Cleaning For A Reason in Fort Walton Beach

In 2004, I received a phone call from a lady (Lisa) wanting to hire our services for her home. At the time, I was answering all the phones, scheduling all the work, paying all the bills and picking up a broom if needed. In a nutshell, I was doing it all. Lisa eventually hired our service and we've been helping her even since. She's seen us go through lots of changes and we've seen her life go throught lots of changes too. She's now married to a wonderful man and she also recently discovered that she has breast cancer. Lisa is doing much better now and she'll be back on the beach soon enough. But right now, she's battling through some chemotherapy sessions. Hopefully, all of you know that we partner with Cleaning For A Reason to provide free cleaning services to women undergoing cancer treatment. It's a wonderful charity to be involved with & we are proud to have provided nearly 100 free cleanings over the years. Here's what our long time friend Lisa has to say about Cleaning For A Reason and Two Maids & A Mop.


"I'm in the Cleaning for a Reason program and haven't had the energy to clean my own home. Thank you so much Two Maids & A Mop for your generous support of people undergoing cancer treatment. The ladies were courteous, friendly, and cleaned like crazy! They were nice to the dogs and cat, and most of all, very nice to me, even though my house was a mess. They asked what was most important to me and then went right to work as requested. I give them a ten, no doubt about it!!" Lisa of Fort Walton Beach, FL

St. Patty's Day Party in Pensacola

Who says that you can't have your cake and eat it too?? We had a big time this morning in Pensacola. Fun times indeed - take a look at some of the pictures.....

As usual, not everyone was willing to participate in the picture. But if you wore green, we mandated your participation. Here's the lucky few who wore green today!

This cake has now been eaten.

Meet Our Most Loyal Employee In Pensacola

April has been our Star Employee for more than four years. That's an amazing feat for any employee in today's workplace. But it's even more amazing for a cleaning company. The average turnover in a cleaning business is more than 300%. To put that into perspective, the average cleaning company is changing its entire staff at least three times per year!!

Of course, we're much different. Our turnover level is extremely low. If you're a current customer, you've probably seen the same people each time for some time because we rarely lose an employee to another job. In April's case, she's the perfect example of what hard work can do for you.

April has performed just about every task - including office work, sales support and, of course, housecleaning. She's awesome and if you know April - you know why she's so awesome. Every company could use a bunch of April's. Thank goodness she found our company more than four years ago.

Busy Days In Birmingham

Our Birmingham office just keeps getting busier and busier. I wish that I could take some of the credit, but all of the credit goes to our employees. We've got an awesome group of people working in Birmingham and they amaze me everyday with their caring attitude and hard work. The cleaning industry doesn't always get portrayed in the most positive light - but I'll match this group up against anybody's office. They not only work hard but they truly care about our business' success. Thank you!! (Not all are pictured)

The Birmingham Team - Eating Lunch

I've never been accused of being a professional photographer, so please excuse the darkness in the photo above. I had lunch today with our awesome team in Birmingham.

Cleaning House In Fort Walton Beach - Literally

Elicia - our manager in Fort Walton Beach - decided to make some changes to our office. When she told me about her ideas - I said sure - go ahead. Then, she sends me these pictures and I was overwhelmed. She and her husband busted their tails & the office looks 100% better as a result. Take a look at some of her handywork.....




I'll post a before & after shot once the new paint is on the walls.

New Birmingham Website Up & Running!!

Two Maids & A Mop of Birmingham opened in October 2009. We've been breaking sales records every single week since our grand opening and we've got nothing but great reviews all over the internet. All in all, things couldn't be better....

Anyway, we've recently created a website that is more "Birmingham friendly". We noticed that a few people were confused because they didn't know if we cleaned northwest Florida & Birmingham. Of course, we do clean both areas but we clean both areas with the help of four different offices. Check out the new website...

Timeout

We typically just talk about housecleaning here on this blog. But please allow me the time to talk about the terrible tragedy in Haiti. I can't imagine the pain and sorrow that many Haitians are experiencing at this moment. It truly makes me appreciate my life and my family.

In that spirit, please visit this website if you would like to contribute to the cause in Haiti. You receive the t-shirt to the right, but more importantly, you provide help for a desperate soul. The t-shirt is only $20, but your welcome to provide more if desired.

We can now resume our normal programming...
