Cleaning help free to cancer patients

Published 9:50 pm Monday, August 2, 2010

Keeping a house spick-and-span when you’re going through a cancer treatment isn’t easy, to say the least.

Now, however, thanks to The Maids Home Services of Everett and the nonprofit Cleaning for a Reason Foundation, it’s possible for women to receive free house-cleaning services.

The Maids, owned by Mike and Dianne Bjorn of Mill Creek, serves Snohomish and King counties and is donating up to four monthly cleaning visits per patient as part of the national program.

To request service, register at www.cleaningforareason.com or call 877-337-3348.

Patients must be female, undergoing cancer treatment and must provide a doctor’s note specifying the length of treatment.

More than 450 cleaning services in the U.S. and Canada have agreed to donate their services, including 19 in Washington, since the Cleaning for a Reason Foundation started in the suburbs of Dallas in 2006.
