Every good business needs a great reason why. Not only does this “why” motivate the work you do, but it helps other people understand what makes you different. At Sandia Green Clean, Albuquerque’s favorite house cleaning company, one of our most compelling “reasons why” for our business is our Cleaning to Care program. Before we even got our first customer, we knew that we wanted to give back to the community, finding a way to use our services to make a real difference. As we thought about different ideas, we came across a national program that many cleaning companies participate in, one that helps to clean the homes of individuals going through chemotherapy treatment.

But, as great as this program was, there were so many limitations that would prevent us from really making a big difference in our local Albuquerque community. So, with our new inspiration driving us, we created Sandia Green Clean’s Cleaning to Care, a program that directly helps local community members with cancer and their families.

How Cleaning To Care And Home Cleaning Services Albuquerque Started

Partnering with UNMH, each month cancer patients enter to win three months of biweekly home cleaning for free. When our company launched, we started with one new cancer patient each month. Today, thanks to the support of all of our awesome customers, we are now cleaning twelve cancer patient homes every month – and we only hope that this number will continue to grow.

Just this week our Cleaning to Care program was featured on KRQE news, featuring one of our incredible cancer patients and her story. To watch the clip, click here!

Questions about Cleaning to Care

What is Sandia Green Clean's Cleaning to Care program?
Cleaning to Care is our program that provides free home cleaning for New Mexico neighbors in need. As this post describes, it began through a partnership with UNMH that helped local cancer patients and their families. We planned it before we had our first customer, because giving back was part of our reason for starting the company.
Why did Sandia Green Clean create its own program instead of joining a national one?
We looked at a national program that many cleaning companies join, one that cleans homes for people going through chemotherapy. It was a great idea, but it had limitations that would have kept us from making a real difference here at home. Creating our own program let us focus directly on our local community.
