FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LOCAL CLEANING COMPANY MAKING A DIFFERENCE

New York, NY – March 27, 2024 – Maid Sailors Cleaning Service has joined forces with Cleaning for a Reason, a non-profit organization offering free house cleaning services to cancer patients across the United States and Canada.

This partnership holds significant meaning for owner Joseph Passalacqua, as he recognizes the profound impact their services can have on the lives of cancer patients who are juggling other pressing priorities.

Shared, Joseph, “I was unfortunate enough to be the only child of a single mother who passed away from cancer. I saw how simple acts of kindness and help impacted her ability to rest, receive treatment, and feel cared for. When she was very sick, my family would come over to help me clean the home and prepare food. A clean home genuinely helps the recovery process, and I want to help facilitate healing and love through our joining Cleaning for a Reason. It’s become my mission, whenever possible, to help and give back.”

Through partnership with Cleaning for a Reason, Maid Sailors Cleaning Service supports two cancer patients’ homes each month for two consecutive months free of charge. This is an ongoing service available to patients residing in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens.

Frequently Asked Questions


How can I support cancer patients in NYC while getting my home professionally cleaned?

When you hire Maid Sailors for your cleaning needs, you’re doing more than just getting a spotless home—you’re potentially helping women battling cancer. Through our partnership with Cleaning for a Reason, we provide free house cleaning services to women undergoing cancer treatment in the New York City area. 

Here’s a real example of how this works: When Sarah from the Upper West Side booked us for her regular bi-weekly cleaning, she learned about our Cleaning for a Reason partnership. She then referred her neighbor Lisa, who was going through chemotherapy, to apply for free cleaning services through the program. While Sarah paid for her own professional house cleaners NYC, Lisa received complimentary cleanings during her treatment—giving her one less thing to worry about during an incredibly difficult time.

Every time you book with us, you’re supporting a company that gives back to the community. We bring all our own supplies, offer same-day service when you need it, and maintain direct communication throughout the cleaning. Plus, knowing your business helps us serve cancer patients in need makes the investment even more meaningful. If you know someone fighting cancer who could benefit from free professional cleaning, encourage them to visit the Cleaning for a Reason website to see if they qualify.
