Our Story

A quote from Christine MacLachlan:
“As a little girl, I always love to clean any and everything. During and after high school, I cleaned houses with my mom.  I always experience a wonderful sense of accomplishment in making a room clean, and neat and putting things in order. As a teenager, I like getting things done efficiently and correctly.  I would challenge myself by playing a little game while working to compete with myself for doing a better detail-quality job and doing it faster.

You will never see me or my team cutting corners or deviating from doing a complete quality job. I am obsessed with doing everything possible to do the best job. Some people call me a perfectionist.

 As I got older and had children of my own, I realized there was more to cleaning than I thought. A couple of months after I had my third child I found out that he had RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus). In that particular year, several babies were dying from this virus, one was too many. Obviously that motivated me to try everything to help save my son’s life. Just cleaning was not enough.

I made it my mission to determine how I can make a difference and started studying viruses, germs, and bacteria. Then, I went on to research certain molds, dust,  allergens, etc. I couldn’t believe how dangerous a seemingly clean home could be. It’s recognized that a home contaminated with bacteria, viruses, mold, allergens, and toxins can cause health issues. I immediately wanted to tell the world what I discovered and how to deal with it.

I’m a woman of action, so I went to work for two large corporate maid services, over a 2 year period. I wanted to see how to properly run my own maid service. I actually learned what not to do!! I found wiping crumbs off of counters is different from sanitizing counters. For me, doing what’s right is important and comes first. I making decisions in favor of customers over profit. I am morally compelled to do the right thing.

After a lot of research and trial-and-error, I came up with the right products and cleaning system to clean and disinfect your home, (what you can see and what you can’t).  I finally started my own maid service company, MacLachlan Maid Service, in the Pinellas and Pasco area for over 15 years.

Having my own independent cleaning company gave me the freedom to create a maid service that can deliver the house cleaning services that I am proud to put my name on. The key reason I went through all the trouble to form my business was  to take-away all the hindrances and roadblocks to help people the best way I can. Maybe, it’s the mother instinct in me, but I enjoy fixing problems that affect people’s lives and I think it’s important.

As of 2018, I suspended my established maid service business. I was in the process of getting ready to extend my company in the Valrico area when devastating news came my way. I was told that I had cervical cancer. My life stood-still for a while, with treatments, radiation, and the uncertainty of life. I couldn’t move, work, or function. It was a very hard time in my life. With times of adversity as these, I gain clarity of how extremely important the quality-of-life is to all of us.

I am happy to say that I am now cancer-free. I am pleased and excited to reopen as Valrico Home Maid Service to serve the Eastern Hillsborough County. My new cleaning service company provides the best-quality Maid Service with integrity and the deep knowledge of doing the job beyond just cleaning! My goal is to improve the Quality-of-Life of families.  This is us!!”
