  • Are you a mental health service/provider/professional?

    No. Mindful Cleaning Co., LLC. is not a mental health service.

    Nor is Jo Fernandez a mental health professional or provider.

    This is simply a service for those who are struggling with their mental well-being, and they believe a clean home is a part of the process of bettering their mental health.

    ((*DISCLAIMER* This is not a mental health service. I am not a mental health provider. However, your well-being is at the heart of what I do, and I am committed to respecting your privacy, maintaining confidentiality, and being culturally sensitive.

    If your life or a loved one’s life is in danger, please call emergency services immediately.))

  • Are you able to clean hoarded homes?

    Yes and no. If the level of hoarding is not causing a health concern for the inhabitants, and there are pathways to walk through, then yes.

    If it is a health concern for the inhabitants, then unfortunately, I am not equipped to help with that situation as of right now.

  • My home is clean, but I am looking for a cleaner or I want to support you.

    If you do not necessarily need my services, but want to support. Give a gift certificate to a friend. (Please send an email and the name of your friend)

  • OMG! I want to make a business like this, or have you collab with my business!

    Why compete when we can collaborate?

    Let’s work together to figure out the best way to serve our shared demographic.
