Our Story
Naked Clean was born from personal experience of the owner’s husband. One day after his shower he found it difficult to breathe and was rushed to the hospital only to recover quickly with no cause found to the sudden and scary health condition.
Only after many years was it discovered to be an allergic reaction resulting from the combination of household cleaning bleach (for cleaning tile grout), combined with glass cleaner containing ammonia, which their housekeeper, at the time, would use to clean the shower. The combination of bleach and ammonia has been well known for over a century as a deadly poisonous gas, first used in World War I.
The question was obvious– Why are such deadly chemicals so commonly used in our homes? It made no sense. There must be a better way to clean.
So, began the search for a ‘reliable’ housekeeper who would also clean with safe, non-toxic cleaners. Unable to locate such a housekeeper, Naked Clean was created to solve this problem.
However, shortly after Naked Clean opened its doors in the fall of 2007 the economy crashed and many people were out of work and desperate for income. On any typical day it wasn’t uncommon to see ten or more unemployed housekeepers (usually women) asking if Naked Clean could help them find work. It was incredibly saddening to witness the desperation of so many people.
Naked Clean certainly couldn’t recruit hundreds of displaced workers, but they COULD help place many of these workers in the homes of people who were looking for reliable, professional, self-employed housekeepers. So, Naked Clean required all housekeepers to join their network of professional cleaners in order to provide insurances and guarantees for their work to protect the clients from the loss of damage.
Within a short time, Naked Clean was placing house cleaners with clients with many smiling faces! Many of the housekeepers literally went from abject poverty to a livable, stable income, in just a matter of months. It was remarkable. Even today, over 15 years later, many of these housekeepers are still friends of the owner and her husband, and that is a gift!
