She died of cancer, but we were with her until the end…

I met Wadia on March 23rd, 2009, shortly after I visited my brother in Hong Kong who has cancer. She had been going for treatment and receiving home care from her mother and her sister. I was invited to her home because she was looking for a cleaning service on a weekly basis to help out with the house work so her mother and sister could focus more on caring for her.

She was a very upbeat person, except she looked a little tired. You would not know Wadia had been battling cancer for 2 years. As usual, I sat down with her on the sofa, listening to her story about why they needed the service and how she wanted certain items to be done. As it turned out, Wadia found a lump 2 years ago and was diagnosed with breast cancer - it was already at the end stage. Being the youngest in her family, the news devastated everyone around her. For the longest time, the family could not accept the news but Wadia had a high spirit. She looked at it as, "living with cancer," not dying with cancer. What a beautiful way of looking at life!

I shared with her why Clean4Me supports Cleaning For A Reason to donate free cleanings or discounted cleaning services to women cancer patients. My own father died of cancer at the age of 69 and now my brother, at age 42, is also suffering with cancer. Not only did I provide insights about how to maintain a clean house but I also shared some nutrition information with her. We talked for 2 hours and shared notes. I still remember she described my visit as being a, “visit by an angel,” for what we do for cancer patients.

We started cleaning her house on a weekly basis. Once in a while, I would call her to see how she was doing and to provide encouragement to her. In September, the family called to cancel the service because they were moving to a condo. I called shortly after and learned that Wadia had passed away.

It is sad to see her go but I am glad that we were with her to the end of her journey. By taking over her household cleaning tasks, it allowed her family have more quality time with her and to provide better care for her.

We were with her until the end but she will be with us always. I still remember her face and her smile...

Markham Cleaning Company President Appointed to International Board of Directors

Amanda Collucci, Founder and CEO of Markham based Clean4Me Inc., has been appointed to the Board of Directors for the Association of Residential Cleaning Services International (ARCSI).

The Association of Residential Cleaning Services International (ARCSI) is the ONLY non-profit member owned organization dedicated to advancing the home cleaning industry.

Professional house cleaning is one of the fastest growing service businesses, not just in the US, but around the world. ARCSI provides a community for those involved in the industry that are serious about being professional, and serious about succeeding to come together, share, learn, and grow!

Headquartered in Markham, Ontario, Amanda Collucci founded Clean4Me merely 3 years ago with outstanding business results growing from zero to billing over $36,000 per month within 36 months.

Coming together as an industry to educate ourselves and the consumers creates a win-win for all involved. Cleaning companies share best practices to support each others success while clients benefit from doing business with a more professional house cleaning industry.

The need for a bonded and insured cleaning company whose employees are professionally trained and criminal background checked for your security is absolutely critical. After all, you are letting a stranger into your home.

“How can you trust when there is no verification of a criminal background check? How can you protect yourself from a law suit if your cleaner falls down the stairs or slips on your icy door step?”

“One of my goals as a director at ARCSI is to increase public awareness about the importance of professionalism and trust in the residential cleaning industry. Hiring a professional cleaning company is an important decision similar to hiring a certified plumber or electrician.

Members of ARCSI come together to network and share ideas to learn how to improve and grow their own company as well as, improve over all conditions in the entire industry as a whole.
