Nature Maids have a unique selling point, which helps differentiate them from others in a crowded field. The Dallas, Texas based maid service has based its’ principals on being eco-friendly.
The service is run by Olga Douglas, who spent her childhood in Siberia, where she learned about being eco-friendly.
“They are more familiar with environmental issues there,” she says. “I know the climate is changing because my family sees it.”
The Texas Christian University computer-science graduate says she was tiring of her software development job and saw an opportunity to offer a more environmentally friendly maid service. She researched the business options and launched the company last May. Now Ms. Douglas and her team of two cover a 30-mile radius around Richardson. They bring their own biodegradable, nontoxic, natural cleaning products, which she says are better for indoor air quality than the more typically used chemical cleaners.
The main problem so far for her business have been prices. Of course eco-friendly cleaning products cost much more than chemical ones. So far, though, customers have been willing to pay more to ensure their house is clean, but their environment is safe. Sounds like a great idea whose time has come.
