How much do clients believe in these cleaners?
Cancer patients on chemotherapy trust them to
clean their homes. For 10 years, owner Edy Stec
and her staff have swept, mopped and scoured
local residences, from one-bedroom apartments
to 12,000-square-foot estates. Now, they’ve begun
spiffing up businesses, too.
“A lot of people are overwhelmed; I know how it is,”
said Stec, 39, who is married, with two kids and two

dogs. “Creating clean environments is my true heart;
it is something I love.”
A Polish immigrant, Stec started the business when
her husband, a police officer, was injured at work.
Now she has a staff of eight and 150 regular clients, a
number of whom have been with her from the start.
“For some, a clean house is a new beginning,” Stec
said. “A clean house is important for our physical and
mental health.”
