How to find someone to do small but urgent cleaning in Asheville

June 27, 2020 12:14 PM

I have a friend whose mental health issues has resulted in a kitchen that is a total disaster. As a one time gift to my friend, I would like to find someone asap to come in a clean all the dirty dishes without expressing any judgement about the mold in the pots. My usual word of mouth approach doesn't work when I live cross-country. Where does one look for this for south Asheville?

The search term you’re looking for is “trauma cleaning services.” Call around and get estimates. According to people I know who have used such services, they tend to be staffed by extremely kind, calm, nonjudgmental people who are unfazed by most things (i.e. they’ve probably seen worse).
