Excluding Cleaning
My name is Apolonia Edwards, owner of an Ideal Cleaning Services, LLC. Over the years, I listened to my clients heart breaking stories. Some I was able to help, while others were deficient in the necessary funds to hire a professional company. Silently, I have cried out for them, and felt helpless. I wished I could help everyone that comes my way. Through prayers and meditation, I came up with ways to help my clients achieve service options virtually. This idea was based off the fact, that not all, but in some cases, some clients did not want their home cleaned, however their primary concern required only de-cluttering & organizational services. To be honest, having a functional livable space was the ideal solution to most of the problems in their homes.
Virtual service is Ideal for specific clients because remotely from the comfort of your home, they get the de-cluttering and organizing assistance they need. This type of service is suited for persons who hoard or have a cluttered space that want their home de-cluttered and organized without any cleaning service involved. Although, cleaning up the home or space is an essential part of this process, we understand that some clients might just want their home de-cluttered enough to move around. In addition, budget may also be an issue. Sometimes they may or may not get the home cleaned professionally or elect do it themselves.
