Local Maid Service Helps Disabled Heroes

Local Fire, Police and US Military Benefit Through Non-Profit Organization

(Fort Collins, CO)   06/28/10 –  Giving honor to veterans and service members can

happen every day of the year if you really put your mind to it.  While many people enjoy long

weekends and holidays like Memorial Day, Independence Day, or Veteran’s Day, one company

decided that every day was worth giving honor, and decided to do something about it.

All Star Cleaning Services, a local maid service provider serving the Fort Collins,

Loveland, Windsor, and surrounding areas is dedicated to serving local heroes all year long by

providing free house cleaning services through Cleaning for Heroes.  Cleaning for Heroes is a

non-profit organization that connects maid services across the nation to deserving individuals

who have been injured or disabled in the line of duty.   Cleaning for Heroes is dedicated to

providing house cleaning services, at no cost, to disabled and elderly members of the United

States military.

As most people who are familiar with my company know, we have always made the majority of the products we use in our client’s homes ourselves. As of this week, that will no longer be the case.

I am excited to introduce Queen of the Meadow, our new product line. Queen of the Meadow is a small local company run by Daniela Butrick and her family, and they have mixed up a heavenly custom-blended signature scent just for All Star! Here is some information about Daniela’s company from her website (www.queenofthemeadow.com):

Queen of the Meadow

…your exclusive source of pure and natural beauty care!

We are a family business, located in Fort Collins, CO, that creates all natural, herbal hair & body care, and household products.

Our ingredients are wild gathered, or organically grown and we appreciate the renewable resources our earth is giving us.

Our products do not contain any petrochemicals like aggressive detergents or petroleum based preservatives that could harm you and our environment and do not belong at all in your hair or on your skin.

We are crafters and our products are handmade, in small batches – and get to you always fresh!

Nor do we put synthetic fragrances, colors, emulsifiers, thickeners or alcohols in our products.

The oils we add, are when ever possible cold pressed, unrefined, and organic. We only use raw butters – simply, we create our recipes with only ingredients that are kept in their most natural, authentic way, so nothing harmful gets into your bloodstream!

We care about human beings, animals, plants…just simply about our environment and planet we are living on.

You can feel and enjoy our products’ natural origin!

In addition to her cleaning products, I have personally used Daniela’s solid lotion bar for a couple of years now, and love it. Look for her in local farmer’s markets and check out the goodies for yourself!

Extremely lightweight and easy to maintain, these are the ONLY upright vacuums the All Stars use in our client’s homes.

Call our office today to place your order! This special offer won’t last long!
