FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LOCAL CLEANING COMPANY MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Clarendon Hills, IL – October 7, 2026 – For families facing cancer, the list of things to manage can feel endless. Appointments, treatments, medications and recovery can leave little time or energy for everyday tasks at home.
Crystal Broom Cleaning is helping take one of those tasks off the list.
The Clarendon Hills-based residential and commercial cleaning company has partnered with Cleaning for a Reason, a nonprofit organization that connects cancer patients with cleaning companies willing to provide complimentary home cleaning services. Through the partnership, Crystal Broom Cleaning will support up to two cancer patients each month, with each patient receiving two consecutive months of complimentary home cleaning.
For Sigita Mikuzyte, owner of Crystal Broom Cleaning, the partnership is about more than cleaning. It is personal.
“Cancer is personal for me. I lost my dad to lung cancer, and I know a diagnosis affects the whole family, not just the patient. When I found Cleaning for a Reason, it felt like a natural way for Crystal Broom Cleaning to give back. A clean home is one less thing to worry about, and our hope is that every patient we visit has a little more time and energy for their recovery and the people they love.”
The partnership extends Crystal Broom Cleaning’s commitment to making a practical difference in the community. By taking care of the cleaning, the company hopes to give patients and their families one less household responsibility to think about during an already difficult chapter.
The program is available to cancer patients who live within five miles of Clarendon Hills, Illinois. Patients of any age, gender, or type of cancer can apply for complimentary cleaning services through Cleaning for a Reason at cleaningforareason.org/patients.
The partnership comes as Cleaning for a Reason celebrates 20 years of supporting cancer patients. Through its network of professional cleaning companies, the nonprofit helps bring practical, in-home support directly to families navigating cancer.
