The House Cleaning Franchise That Could Have Elected a California Governor

Nov 5

Posted by Frank Berger in Founders Blog, Maid Celebrity

You’ve Got MAIDS is the House Cleaning Franchise that could have elected a California Governor.  That’s right a house cleaning franchise could have changed the results of this week’s California governor’s race between Jerry Brown and Meg Whitman.

Meg Whitman had hired Nicky Diaz Santillan for house cleaning, and agreed to pay her $23 per hour, ten years ago.  It turns out Nicky Diaz Santillan had falsified her documents that she used to fool Meg Whitman and the state of California.  Ms. Santillan had a valid California drivers license.  When Ms. Santillan applied for a job with the Whitman’s she had all the legal documentation that she needed to gain employment.  Meg Whitman did nothing wrong hiring a person that had a valid California driver’s license & a social security card!  Flash forward a few year and Nicky Diaz Santillan single-handedly derailed Meg Whitman’s chances at becoming governor through Jerry Springer-esque theatrics.

Keep in mind that we are talking about California.  California’s current governor is Arnold Schwarzenegger who played the original time travailing cyborg assassin in Terminator.  It’s widely agreed that if the California Republican Party had Skynet technology they could then send back a team of You’ve Got MAIDS house cleaners to replace Meg Whitmans former housekeeper Nicky Diaz Santillan ten years ago.  It really could be that simple.

By outsourcing her house cleaning to You’ve Got MAIDS house cleaners, Meg Whitman would be Governor today.  That’s a fact.

Desperate Housewives 6.05 “Everybody Ought To Have A Maid” Recap

Mark O. Estes posts the following Desperate Housewives recap on TVOVERMIND.COM.

Bree and Karl get ready to leave from Room 217, which I am so going to play for my lottery number today, and a maid (guest star Aisha Hinds) comes in ready to clean. When Bree asks the maid to help her find her earring, she gets a call from Orson and lies about her whereabouts, which the maid overhears. When Bree tries to tip the maid after finding her earring, the maid blows her of with a comment about “dying to get home to your husband”. Bree is none to pleased at all about that to the point where it bothers her even during her dinner with Orson. The scene made me want to puke, because I don’t like when people feel that being in the service industry strips you of any rights as a person. Bree and Orson sounded like the utmost condescending snobs last night. Having said that, the maid was being a little nosy. Anyway, Bree almost let slip that she was at the hotel, but covers that it was a café. After masking what happened at the hotel, Orson suggests she goes back and demands for respect. Whoa, Kimosabi… That’s like asking for trouble for most people.

But Bree does this and the maid simply says that cheating is a sin and that Bree must think it’s ok only if “you wear pearls”. Bree loses this round. But Bree isn’t some unassertive chickadee and she realizes something that I didn’t catch on to. So on the next visit, Bree asks if the maid’s husband cheated on her, which is why she is so against Bree’s affair with Karl. The maid is appalled and leaves, but comes back to say that it was in fact herself that cheated and now she has no husband nor a lover to support her, hence her working at the hotel. Bree admits that what she is doing is wrong, but that Orson is not making it easy, despite him being the “victim” in the relationship. In the end, Bree continues her affair, but you can tell that it’s bothering her a bit.

The maid on this episode of Desperate Housewives is totally out of line.  Her job is not to pass judgement on her hotels guest, but to provide a service.  She does have one thing right…everybody ought to have a maid.

Sunshine Cleaning

A single mom and her slacker sister find an unexpected way to turn their lives around in the off-beat dramatic comedy Sunshine Cleaning. Directed by Christine Jeffs (Rain, Sylvia), this uplifting film about an average family that finds the path to its dreams in an unlikely setting screened in competition at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. Once the high school cheerleading captain who dated the quarterback, Rose Lorkowski (Academy Award nominee Amy Adams) now finds herself a thirty something single mother working as a maid. Her sister Norah, (Golden Globe winner Emily Blunt), is still living at home with their dad Joe (Academy Award winner Alan Arkin), a salesman with a lifelong history of ill-fated get rich quick schemes. Desperate to get her son into a better school, Rose persuades Norah to go into the crime scene clean-up business with her to make some quick cash. In no time, the girls are up to their elbows in murders, suicides and other specialized situations. As they climb the ranks in a very dirty job, the sisters find a true respect for one another and the closeness they have always craved finally blossoms. By building their own improbable business, Rose and Norah open the door to the joys and challenges of being there for one another no matter what while creating a brighter future for the entire Lorkowski family.

Perhaps movies like this will do for maid service, what Rocky did for boxing.  You never know.

Neil Young sings A Man Needs A Maid

A Man Needs A Maid by Neil Young

YouTube Preview Image

My life is changing in so many ways
I don’t know who to trust anymore
There’s a shadow running thru my days
Like a beggar going from door to door.

I was thinking that maybe I’d get a maid
Find a place nearby for her to stay.
Just someone to keep my house clean,
Fix my meals and go away.

A maid. A man needs a maid.
A maid.

It’s hard to make that change
When life and love turns strange.
And old.

To give a love, you gotta live a love.
To live a love, you gotta be “part of”
When will I see you again?

A while ago somewhere I don’t know when
I was watching a movie with a friend.
I fell in love with the actress.
She was playing a part that I could understand.

A maid. A man needs a maid.
A maid.

When will I see you again?

GREEN CLEAN

In our ever changing world many people are taking small steps to save our earth. You’ve Got MAIDS® has taken the initiative; we’re proud to be both environmentally friendly and price competitive with companies that are not bio-friendly. It starts off with the phone estimate. Customers prefer this convenient and straightforward method which also conserves fuel and paper. In fact, most of our correspondences are over the phone or via email. We further lower our fuel consumption and carbon footprint by having our maids carpool to your house. Green cleaning your home with microfiber cleaning cloths, HEPA filtered vacuums and non-toxic cleaning products is a step in the green direction.  After all, it is the sum of the smaller acts that gives way to the greatest results. On behalf of the staff of You’ve Got MAIDS® thank you for partnering with us in our vision to protect our planet.

RESIDENTIAL MAID SERVICE

A professional residential maid service is a business which provides house cleaning for homeowners who do not have the time nor desire to clean their own homes. Residential maid services have become increasingly common in America with an industry growth rate of 20% a year.

RESIDENTIAL CLEANING SERVICE

A professional residential cleaning service, like You’ve Got MAIDS®, may be a few more dollars than a part-time independent under the table maid(normally between $0.71 & $1.42 a day), but it offers numerous advantages. We provide screened, trained, bonded and insured maids that bring all of the necessary cleaning supplies. In fact, when you hire us, you can delete cleaning products from your shopping list. Also, as a bona fide employer, You’ve Got MAIDS® is responsible for withholding Social Security income taxes, Medicare Tax, FUTA & SUTA. Most importantly You’ve Got MAIDS® worker compensation insurance insulates you & your family from personal injury attorneys.

RESIDENTIAL HOME CLEANING

You’ve Got MAIDS® strives to deliver more than expected each time. We get it.  A lot of residential home cleaning service providers over promise and under deliver. At You’ve Got MAIDS® we want long term relationships with our customers, and our goal is to under promise and over deliver.

RESIDENTIAL HOME CLEANING SERVICE

If you notice the maids do something that makes you happy, let them know. Better yet let us know by clicking our feedback button.  We care.  Your compliments are words of encouragement… like sunshine to your maids…they will not grow without it! Our CEO reads each and every piece of feedback before forwarding it to the local franchise office.

At You’ve Got MAIDS® we understand that communication is key, and we welcome all feedback…not just the good stuff! We carefully review and share everything with the maids in a construction manner. The good to great feedback gets shared at the morning meeting in front of everyone, and might go on our Wall of Fame! The not so great feedback is reviewed in private, and goes into the employees file.  As a company, we consume feedback for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
