Our Story
Juan & Karen Chaparro - Founders
Truly Green from the Inside-out.
Sounds like a very well planned out company but in this case, the owners started off this business opportunity just to make ends meet back in 2004 before turning it into what it is today. Juan & Karen, from the beginning implemented the use of biodegradable and eco-friendly cleaning products (thus it’s original name BioCleanMaid)–it was a simple and logical approach since these were the type of cleaning products they used themselves at home. However, several magazines and online journals didn’t think a green maid service was something that came so intuitive, rather an eco-savvy idea to share and talk about.
So in October 2007, the renowned online newsletter Dailycandy contacted Gmaids to write an article on their service and share it with their Dallas Online Community. It was a sweet boost! Delivering about 4,000 hits on their site and several recurring customers that ’til this day use their services. Other local magazines & newspapers wrote about them: Tribeza in Dallas, StarTelegram.com, QuickDFW.com, D-Magazine Weddings Edition and online blogs and directories. Most recently, there was a full detailed report done by Park Cities People Newspaper, including actual photos of the products and the Gmaids Team at work.
Why Gmaids, why not? Creating a cool & friendly cleaning company.
We decided to create something worth doing, something that will make customers really happy and make their lives hassle-free, something that will remove the pains of traditional-brick and mortar companies, that´s why customers can book and make payments online, send us SMS and talk to humans that care.
“All maids start cleaning well, but overtime quality decreases”. A Big pain we removed.
That’s what we hear constantly…how did we tackle this?
We’ll by looking how the other companies do it wrong. We decided not to hire just anybody, but to be very selective and hire only the best people (a promise we make to ourselves), not only the best cleaning teams, but interviewing them deeply to find a ”working brain” and passionate servant who will match the company’s way of doing business …belived it or not most companies hire the cheapest laborers out there and try to train them: At Gmaids all of our teams are Certified, yes it’s like going to an Institute paying money for them to teach you, but all in-house. If they pass all the tests, actual hands-on training and deliver our promise to you, they get to stay!.
Really Cares. Really Gmaids.
Everybody says this, but almost nobody cares. How did we tackle this?
We’ll by running our whole operation in a sustainable matter, by sending our teams directly from their home to yours, thus reducing 40% of emmisions, by not taking anymore paper checks and by running this like an online business.
