Featured Speed Cleaning Certified Business : Carnation Home Cleaning
by Amy Sardone
on Jan 17 2026
When a business is built on care, consistency, and community, growth doesn’t need to be forced — it happens naturally.
That’s exactly how Carnation Home Cleaning was born.
Based in Mesa, Arizona and serving the surrounding East Valley cities, Carnation Home Cleaning is an eco-friendly residential cleaning company led by owner Eugena “Gina” Bring. Gina moved to Arizona from North Dakota in 1986 with her husband, where they raised three children and are now proud grandparents of four.

But her journey into the cleaning industry didn’t begin with a business plan.
It began with a favor.
A Business That Started by Accident
In 1990, friends from North Dakota asked Gina for help cleaning and preparing their vacation home in Mesa. That single job quickly turned into referrals from winter residents traveling to Arizona from across the country. Word spread. More homes followed. Then more.
What started as a simple helping hand slowly evolved into a thriving word-of-mouth business — one home at a time.
As demand grew, Gina began hiring employees. By 2001, Carnation Home Cleaning moved from a home-based operation into a storefront on Main Street in Mesa, expanding beyond vacation homes into full-time residential and office cleaning services of all sizes.
As Gina puts it:
“The business grew unintentionally — one house at a time, over many years.”
Sometimes the strongest businesses grow exactly that way.
The Carnation Tradition
The company’s name holds a beautiful meaning.
From the very beginning, Gina left a bouquet of carnations and a handwritten thank-you note after her cleanings. Over time, this evolved into a signature tradition — leaving a single white carnation after every initial clean.
Clients loved it. It created connection, gratitude, and a lasting impression.
The name Carnation Home Cleaning became an easy and natural choice.
Small details, when done consistently, become powerful brand stories.
Built on Consistency, Not Shortcuts
What truly sets Carnation Home Cleaning apart is not speed alone — it’s consistency.
Gina’s team focuses on delivering:
Consistent quality from home to home
Reliable scheduling
The same technician assigned whenever possible
Predictable results clients can trust
This operational discipline has been a cornerstone of the company’s long-term growth and reputation.
Discovering Speed Cleaning — Before It Was Trending
Gina first discovered Speed Cleaning back in 1991, when she came across Jeff Campbell’s original book and video.
She immediately began applying the principles:
Top-to-bottom cleaning
Working around the room
Using aprons
Efficient workflows
Long before “process optimization” became a buzzword, Gina was already operating smarter.
Recently, Carnation Home Cleaning took the next step by fully implementing the Speed Cleaning professional training program, certification, and product system for all technicians.
This ensured every team member follows the same structured methods — creating alignment, scalability, and quality control across the company.
Falling in Love with the Products
Gina and her team began using Speed Cleaning products just a few months ago — and the feedback has been immediate.
“We’re loving them! The Scum Bum is magical, and the Blue and Red Juice leave a beautiful shine and soft clean feel on all surfaces — no sticky residue feeling.”
When products support the process instead of slowing it down, efficiency and results improve naturally.
A Commitment to Health, Home & Community
Gina is passionate about the outdoors, environmental responsibility, and supporting her local community. Her mission extends beyond clean homes — it’s about creating safer, healthier environments for families and individuals.
Eco-friendly practices aren’t a marketing label for Carnation Home Cleaning — they’re a daily commitment.
Serving Mesa and the East Valley
Carnation Home Cleaning is proudly based in Mesa, Arizona, serving nearby East Valley cities with reliable, professional residential cleaning services.

Maid to Achieve: Commitment to Quality and Standards
by Amy Sardone
on May 15 2025
Discover the inspiring story behind Maid to Achieve Cleaning Services LLC, a small yet powerful cleaning company located in Paulding and Defiance, Ohio. More than just a local service, Maid to Achieve stands out for one key reason: trust.
In today's world, where reliability can seem rare, Maid to Achieve has earned what many companies strive to build — the deep trust of its clients. And while that may sound simple, earning this kind of trust is anything but easy.
A New Beginning Rooted in Necessity
Before founding the company, Miranda Schlatter faced a common challenge: the difficulty of finding a reliable cleaning service at a fair price. She hired different companies, but there was always something that didn't meet her expectations — whether it was the cost, the quality of service, or the lack of consistency. This experience motivated her to create her own solution, offering a service that met her own standards for quality and value.
With this vision, Miranda founded Maid to Achieve Cleaning Services LLC in August 2022.
Local Roots and Strategic Growth
Unlike many cleaning entrepreneurs who start solo, Miranda chose to hire a team from the beginning. This strategic decision allowed her to focus on business development, training, and quality control — building a solid foundation from day one.
Over time, the company grew to five cleaning technicians and continues to serve homes in Defiance and Paulding Counties, with plans to expand to Bainbridge soon.
The team doesn't just clean houses — they also specialize in detailing and maintenance of travel trailers/RVs, offering personalized services for a community they know deeply.
Trust is the Brand's Cornerstone
What truly sets Maid to Achieve apart? Client trust.
In an industry where reliability can make or break a business, Miranda and her team have cultivated a loyal customer base by offering not just clean homes — but peace of mind. Clients know they can count on consistent results, technicians who arrive prepared, and a company that values their home as if it were their own.
Technicians are background-checked, professionally trained, and follow structured procedures to ensure each visit meets the highest standards.
Standardization and Quality at Every Step
Miranda knows that efficiency and consistency don’t happen by chance — they’re the result of preparation, training, and a shift in mindset. That’s why she embraced the Speed Cleaning Certification, which transforms not just technique, but the entire approach to cleaning.
Her team follows the Speed Cleaning Method, which includes more than just the classic top-to-bottom, left-to-right system. It’s a comprehensive process designed to ensure no detail is overlooked and every cleaning is completed with maximum efficiency.
Additionally, Maid to Achieve emphasizes systematic organization, ensuring that all tools and supplies are easily accessible for quick and effective use during each job.
To ensure consistent and high-quality service, Miranda requires all technicians to complete the Speed Cleaning Certification training, which includes both online and in-person modules. This training reinforces a professional mindset and establishes consistent cleaning systems to maintain the company's high standards.
By applying this structured approach, Maid to Achieve delivers results clients can trust — with the same high standards, every time.
A Smart Investment for Long-Term Success
Many companies wait years to consider standardization or training. But Miranda understood from the start that if she wanted serious results, she needed to make a serious investment.
She discovered the Speed Cleaning community through cleaning business groups on Facebook and enrolled in Debbie Sardone's consulting program. Although initially hesitant, Miranda recognized the value of structured training — and this decision proved transformative for her business.
Today, Maid to Achieve Cleaning Services LLC, founded in August 2022, is more than a cleaning company. It's a reliable, efficient, and highly professional local service that sets high standards — and continues to exceed them.
