Car service company über is taking US cities by storm, but did you know there’s a home cleaning model too? Homejoy, based in Francisco, CA, operates in a similar fashion, offering what it calls an “easy solution to help out with household chores” through online booking.
Sister and brother team Adora and Aaron Cheung founded the firm in mid 2012 when they were unable to find their own convenient and affordable cleaning service for their own home. Homejoy has since grown to offer its “platform” in more than 30 cities across the US and Canada. The firm, which recently launched a new iOS app, is expanding internationally too to the UK and Berlin.
Consumers sign up online for the cleaning services they wish and pick whether or not the cleaning crew will come with products or will use what they have in the house. Other services, like laundry or window cleaning can be added in, but are not included in the basic service package.
