“We wanted to find out if there is a market in this field. So, when we ran a few adverts, we realized that there’s a lot of marketing. We were overwhelmed by the avalanche of requests for cleaning services, including newly built houses. Therefore, we decided to launch fully and we’re fully operational in different parts of the FCT.

“We take care of the health of our Easers and ensure we connect them to nearby clients. We are basically nearly the cheapest in the market. We have services as low as N4,000. We take 20 per cent and give the easers 20 per cent.

“We guard against our Easers being sexually molested or stealing from clients, so we always make sure both the client and cleaners fill forms for us to follow them from the beginning to the end of each cleaning service. Our services are not restricted to gender or category as we clean homes, offices, factories, apart from laundry, fumigation and other services.

“We have people in schools and graduates currently working with us. We pay as much as N20,000 for somebody that works once per week. That’s four times in a month. Some staff with us earn N20,000 going to work four times in a month. We do not take a large cut from their payment. We’ve had people leave their jobs to work with us and earn better.”
