About Kiwi Cleaning Services in Eugene

Kiwi Cleaning Services started in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas with one idea: a cleaning company should tell you exactly what it is going to do, do that, and stand behind it. Everything we built came out of that -- the written 42-point checklist, the Kiwi Clean Guarantee, and quoting the home in front of us instead of reading a number off a price list.

Eugene is a new market for us, and we say so plainly rather than arriving with claims we have not earned here yet. There are cleaning companies in this valley with long histories, and that history is theirs, not ours to borrow. What we bring is the part of the business that does not depend on time in town: a checklist every visit follows, eco-friendly products that are safe around kids and pets, all our own supplies and equipment, and a free re-clean within 24 hours if a job is not right.

We did the homework before we opened here, because the Willamette Valley asks different questions of a cleaning company than South Texas does. Eugene sits downwind of the valley's grass-seed farms and records grass-pollen counts among the highest in the country, into early July, so sills, screen frames, vents and entry floors need their own time for part of the year. The wet months bring mud, moss and damp to every entry and bathroom for the rest of it. Our checklist spends its hours in different places here than the Texas version does.

The other thing we studied is the calendar. About 52 percent of Eugene's homes are rented, more than one in seven residents is enrolled in college or graduate school, and search interest in house cleaning here peaks in September, with late August into October as move season. That is why move-in and move-out cleaning sits second on our list here, why we schedule move-outs backward from your date, and why we quote shared houses by the home and its room count. The university and the hospitals are the big employers in this metro, and two of the hospitals are in Springfield, so evening and Saturday visits fit inside our hours.

Springfield, OR is the place in this market where Spanish matters most -- about one resident in seven is Hispanic or Latino -- and every page on this site exists in Spanish as well as English. Quote requests and scheduling can be handled in either language. If we would not do it in our own house, we do not do it in yours.
