This week we are shining the spotlight on Dan Brosseau, Owner and President of Two Maids of Naperville and Two Maids of Aurora IL, and a proud member of LODGE!

Dan has built a reputation for consistent, award winning residential and commercial cleaning services across the western suburbs. His unique Pay for Performance system ensures his team cares about the cleanliness of your home as much as you do.

But what truly sets Dan and his team apart is their heart for the community. Two Maids actively supports Cleaning for a Reason, offering free housecleaning to people undergoing cancer treatment. They also partner with Alliance for Hope International to provide support and care for survivors of domestic violence. This is a business that genuinely walks the talk.

Whether you need a one time deep clean, recurring service, move in or move out cleaning, or commercial cleaning, Dan and his team have you covered serving Naperville, Downers Grove, Aurora, Bolingbrook, and surrounding communities.

Give Dan a call and tell him the LODGE sent you! 630.381.1515 [email protected] | www.twomaidscleaning.com

We work hard. We refer hard. And apparently we bowl hard too. 🎳😄
At our last social event LODGE members took over Suburbanite Bowl and let's just say the strikes were flying almost as fast as the business referrals usually do.
Because business is just better when you genuinely enjoy the people around you.
