Who Is Steve? More Than Just a Cleaner
When Steve joined our team, it quickly became clear we had hired more than just a cleaner—we had found a team player, and, in many ways, the heart of our crew.
“Working with people—I’m a people person,” Steve says when asked what he enjoys most about his role.
His love for connecting with clients and co-workers alike is infectious. You’ll often find him with a smile on his face, thumbs up in the air (sometimes even wearing three hats for good measure), ready to brighten the day.

The Funniest Thing Steve’s Seen on the Job? It’s for the Birds (Literally)
Cleaning windows can be incredibly satisfying—especially when you do the job so well, the glass disappears.
“I was cleaning the windows on a shift. Once I was done, they were left so sparkling clean that a bird flew straight into the window.”
We can’t make this up. And no, the bird wasn’t hurt (just very confused). This moment has become legendary in our staff room, a reminder of just how dedicated Steve is to his craft—and how spotless his windows really are.

Steve’s Mop Has a Name. Or Two.
We couldn’t end the interview without a quirky question: “If your mop had a name, what would it be?”
Steve didn’t hesitate:
“Bluey or Mophead.”
We’re not saying every mop in our storage room now has a name… but we’re not not saying it either.
