I called from Dayton, Ohio to schedule a long overdue cleaning for a friend in Muncie. I explained the situation to Kristi. She kindly scheduled a cleaning for the next day. The two ladies met my friend and spent the next three hours working hard to clean his house. He was so pleased. He kept saying, "They did such a good job!" They made his day!!! Thank you!!!
