HOMEJOY.COM SPRING CLEANS LA’s HOMES, CONDOS AND APARTMENTS- April 2015
HOMEJOY SPRING CLEANS L.A.
We were introduced to Homejoy and just had a house cleaning yeaterday. Homejoy is an online platform (and iPhone app) that connects people with background-checked cleaning professionals. Two professional cleaners came to our place and did a fine job on our whole place with vacuuming, dusting, cleaning windows, folding laundry, cleaning dishes/refrigerator and tidying up. They were flexible and accommodating to our requests and our place looks a lot better. We filled out the online form dictating our specific needs and requests. The online method allowed us to put in what is most important and prioritize what we want done, which we liked.

This month, Homejoy is on a mission to encourage Angelenos get out and
enjoy the delights of spring, instead of toiling away their precious free time
cleaning. They’ve posted scores of colorful billboards from West L.A. to
WeHo with sunny messages including, “More dancing, less dust,” “More me
time, less mess,” “More sun, less scrubbing” and “More spring, less cleaning.”
Homejoy’s Spring Cleaning campaign in Los Angeles will also include a
customer-appreciation dinner hosted by the CEO and partnerships with
local mommy-blogger groups. Homejoy brand ambassadors are interacting
with the community at locales ranging from farmers’ markets to
college campuses and shopping malls.“We believe that home
happiness begins with a clean home,” said Homejoy founder Adora Cheung. “As we’ve now
expanded to 30 markets across the U.S. and Europe, we’re really honing in to foster
relationships on a local level. Happy L.A. customer Natalie Smyka found her idealHomejoycleaning professional in Lena Marie, an independent contractor for Homejoy. “She worked fastand cleaned a lot during the time given,” Smyka said, “and she made a point to use a non-chemicalcleaning solution on the floor because my son was crawling.”
Says Lena Marie, “People may forget what you say or what you did, but they won’t forget how you
made them feel. I have a maternal instinct about my clients, and I help them to feel safer and more
whole because their home environment is clean, calming and inviting.”
