Our story
Built on Family
and Hard Work
Melanie started Maid to Clean in 2018 with two goals: give Lincoln families back the time that cleaning takes, so they can spend it with the people they love, and create high-paying cleaning jobs so our team members can earn a great income for their families.
Melanie and JJ met in 2022, and in 2023 the business started to grow on the strength of its systems and procedures. In June 2025, JJ joined Melanie and the team full-time to keep up with a cleaning business on the rise.
It is still a family business, right down to our kids in their own purple Maid to Clean shirts. The values have not changed either: show up, do the job right, and treat every client and every team member like family.
Today Melanie and JJ lead a hardworking, genuinely joyful team that takes pride in its work, from weekly home visits to the construction cleanup on a 187-unit apartment building.
