History on Our Deep Cleaning Services

In 1979, President Daniel J. Bishop, a self-made entrepreneurial success before the age of 21 with his janitorial company, Bishop Building Services, founded The Maids in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, which focused on bringing residential deep cleaning to everyone. With a four-person team cleaning staff and recognizable yellow company car, his idea quickly went national when he began franchising his residential cleaning company one year later.

The Maids – Offering a Quick and Efficient Approach Through Team Cleaning

Before starting The Maids, Bishop researched the cleaning process. Through time and motion studies, his research determined that the most efficient way to clean a home is through team cleaning. By training each of his teams to clean according to a system based on four primary functions: dusting, bathroom cleaning, kitchen cleaning and vacuuming, his teams were able to clean quickly and efficiently.

In 1995, The Maids became the first residential cleaning company to clean for health. This was accomplished by using only environmentally preferable cleaning products and a state-of-the-art back pack vacuum. The vacuum was developed especially for The Maids. This resulted in the development of our unique 22-Step Healthy Touch® Deep Cleaning System, which set new standards for quality deep cleaning and revolutionized the industry.

With over a quarter of a century of experience, The Maids continues to research the best ways to serve its customers. Our team cleaning services continue to stay at the forefront of the home services industry and remain a model organization in the franchising world.
