Pansies!

Hooray for pansies!

They are such happy flowers, sparkling and bright while we are waiting for Cape Cod Spring to catch up with them.  Cape Cod spring is very elusive!  We have been fooled before!  The winds can be very raw and the temperatures stay lower than the mainland due to the cold Atlantic waters.  But then, suddenly, it is almost summer.....ah, summer.

Auto Antics

We have a whole team of cars!  They are vital to us.  Each has their own personality, and each has a name.  We have Fiona, Flora, Freddie, Frannie, Fritz, Flo, Frankie, Felicity, and Faith.  (These are in the order that we got them!)  During the month of March, we had a local "naming" contest.  One part was to guess the next name we have picked out (Fergie).  No one guessed!  And the other part was to suggest a name for a car.  We had some great contenders, but hands down, the winner was Frodo!  We had gifts for everyone who put a name in the box!  Thank you to all who participated.

Green

This year's buzzword seems to be "green."  It is amazing to think that this cleaning service started just a few years after the first Earth Day.  We have always been aware of the impact that we have on the environment, especially since our staff is exposed to our cleaning products for longer periods of time.  Most of the products are Green Seal certified to help protect our water source.  We buy concentrates in bulk to reduce waste.   Our Miele vacuums filter allergens from your air.  Most of our vehicles are very fuel efficient.  We group cleanings in specific areas to minimize gas consumption.  So, even though we don't often tout it, we feel we deserve to have green as our company color.

Spring Cleaning

Spring cleaning is upon us!  We are booking June openings now!  If you are interested in finding out more about the spring cleaning services we offer, call us today and we will send you a checklist!  It is always nice to be able to actually speak to someone in this electronic age, and we are here for you!  Out winter office hours are Tuesday through Friday, 8AM to 3PM. 

Expansion

We have serviced Wellfleet, Truro and Eastham for many years. We are now accepting year round customers in Orleans as well.

Staff Member News
We have a great year round staff!  They are fabulous cleaners and will clean to your specific requests.  Of course, we have our tried and true Furies method, but we love special requests, especially at this time of year!

Summer Staff Member News

Many of our foreign students from last summer season will be joining us again this spring, which is always great!  Some of the students will be spending their third summer with us!  We know that they are wonderful cleaners and they are familiar with the area and with your homes.  Last summer we had eight countries represented, plus the United States.  To date, we have students who have accepted positions from Belarus, Bulgaria, Russia, and Lithuania.
