About CottageCare
Using the experience he gained as the operator of a housecleaning franchise in the '70s and '80s, Tom Schrader founded Overland Park, Kansas-based Cottage Care in 1988. Franchisees offer a variety of tailored cleaning services for bathrooms, furniture, kitchens, floors and carpets.
CottageCare has the distinguished record
of using environmentally friendly cleaning products since our beginning
in the mid-’70s. We were eco-friendly before the recent popular trend
of all natural products. Every product we use is non-toxic and
non-abrasive which protects the environment, our customers’ homes, and
the crew members providing our services. It’s always been that way, and
always will.
