About Better Life Maids
BETTER LIFE MAIDS IS ABOUT MAKING YOUR LIFE BETTER, GREENER, & CLEANER
We started the company in hometown of St Louis, MO because we wanted to make our home and the world around us a safer place for our children. Mostly motivated by the potential toxic impact of using chemical based cleaners, we also realized that many of the house cleaning products in our home were actually leaving a toxic film, after we were done "cleaning'. Not only that, those same products created real risks to the health of our children, just by being in the house!
Every day we are confronted with choices.
We made the choice to start Better Life Maids to help share what we had learned about cleaning green in our own home. We realize that deciding to go green in your home can take on many shades, but choosing to reduce your exposure to toxic chemicals is a small step in the right direction, and your health and the health of your loved ones can easily be protected with a few easy changes.
Now a National Franchise, Better Life Maids is fully dedicated to finding solutions to the problem created by traditional house cleaning. Some of these problems include billions of gallons of toxic chemicals that end up in our homes and the environment, over 4 billion pounds of paper waste that end up in landfills, the countless poisonings from toxic chemicals and the long term health risks from prolonged exposure to these chemicals commonly found in our homes and indoor spaces.
The Better Life Maids Franchise System uses only the safest Better Life cleaning solutions, which are plant derived, non toxic and independently verified as safe and effective by Whole Foods' Eco Scale. We have eliminated all paper waste in our cleaning process, and we have reduced our environmental impact wherever possible. We have the best and most durable tools that withstand years of use and a fraction of our tools end up in the waste stream. Lastly we use 4-Stage HEPA, microfiltration vacuums in our green home cleaning processes. These vacuums are proven to reduce indoor allergens and other airborne pollutants.
Our green cleaning processes are great, but our people are BETTER. Warm people that care about you, your home and now, your success. We are a green company that strives to do business in an ethical manner that is respectful to our people, to our franchisees, to our clients, and to the world around us.
So, take a look for yourself and see if you don't agree that at Better Life Maids we do everything BETTER. We share the same passion for franchisee success that we do in perfecting the world's best cleaning processes and we invite you to fully consider whether owning a Better Life Maids franchise isn't also the best way to make your life BETTER.

What Makes
TWO MAIDS & A MOP Different?
TWO MAIDS & A MOP offers a unique selling proposition that has long been admired within the residential cleaning industry. People from across the country have worked extremely hard to determine the true inner workings of our famous Pay for Performance Compensation Plan.
What makes the Pay for Performance Plan so great and how does it work? In a nutshell, the Plan makes an owner out of every single one of our Team Members. Basically, a customer will rate their service on a simple scale from 1-10. The rating - and that rating alone - directly determines the compensation level paid to the two Team Members responsible for cleaning the home. Customer feedback is the only factor utilized when determining Team Member compensation. The Plan revolutionized the cleaning industry and has sparked countless of copycat models since its inception ten years ago. The Plan provides our local offices with a self-policing internal motivational strategy for its Team Members. And of course, the Plan provides our local offices with an outstanding marketing tool that essentially converts all qualified leads into paying customers.
By franchising, you will have access to this plan and will be able to leverage its internal and external benefits on the first day of your business' operation.
