FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LOCAL CLEANING COMPANY MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Richmond, VA – September 22, 2026 – CleanEST Cleaning, LLC, a family-owned residential cleaning company, is turning 20 years of experience into a new way to give back. The company has officially partnered with the nonprofit Cleaning for a Reason to join a nationwide network of cleaning companies that provide complimentary home cleaning services to cancer patients.
Through the partnership, CleanEST Cleaning, LLC will provide up to two local cancer patients each month with two consecutive months of complimentary professional home cleaning. The services will be available to cancer patients residing in Richmond and surrounding counties.
“For someone going through cancer treatment, cleaning the house may not be the most important thing on their mind, but it can become one more thing they simply don’t have the energy to manage,” said Karin Meissner, co-owner and COO of CleanEST Cleaning, LLC. “I love that we can take something we already know how to do well and use it to help someone who really needs it.”
For families facing cancer, practical help can make a meaningful difference. Complimentary cleaning services can provide patients and caregivers with more time and energy to focus on treatment, rest, family, and each other.
Heidi Armstrong, co-owner and founder of CleanEST Cleaning, LLC, also hopes the partnership reminds their team that their work can have an impact beyond a clean home.
“I want our cleaners to feel proud knowing that the work they do everyday matters,” she said. “Richmond has supported our family and our business for many years, and this is one small way we can give some of that love back.”
As Cleaning for a Reason celebrates 20 years of supporting cancer patients, partnerships with local cleaning companies such as CleanEST Cleaning, LLC help bring that support directly into the homes of families in communities across the country.
Cancer patients of any age, gender, or type of cancer can apply for complimentary home cleaning services at cleaningforareason.org/patients.
