At Way Finder Cleaning Services, cleaning isn’t just a task—it’s a trust. When a client lets us into their home, they’re inviting us into their personal space, asking us to care for what matters most to them. That’s why we’re so proud to share that Matty, our founder, was recently featured in Redfin’s national expert guide: “How to Clean Old Kitchen Cabinets: A Step-by-Step Guide From Professional Cleaners.”
Matty’s quote in the article highlights what sets Way Finder apart: an intentional, respectful approach that puts the well-being of your home—and the people in it—first.
Matty’s Expert Advice
Old kitchen cabinets bring warmth and character to a space, but cleaning them requires more than elbow grease. As Matty explains in the Redfin piece:
“Don’t be aggressive with chemicals or scrubbers. The finish on older cabinets may already be compromised, so use a soft cloth and a solution like diluted dish soap first. Rinse with water and dry thoroughly before applying any conditioner or polish.”
This is the heart of how we work—start simple, be gentle, and never overdo it just for the sake of speed or convenience. Every cabinet, countertop, or floor has a history, and we take that seriously.
Why Cleaning Services Can Feel Like a Gamble
Hiring a cleaning service can be nerve-wracking. Maybe you’ve had a company rush through a job and miss the details. Maybe a cleaner used a harsh chemical that left streaks—or worse, damage. Maybe you’ve dealt with poor communication, inconsistent service, or a lack of transparency around pricing and scheduling.
We hear these stories all the time, and they’re not just one-offs. In an industry that sometimes prioritizes speed over substance, it’s no wonder clients are cautious.
How Way Finder Approaches Things Differently
Way Finder Cleaning Services was built on a different model. Matty started this company to provide a service that feels personal, not transactional. Here’s what that looks like in practice:
- Clarity and Communication: From the first phone call to the follow-up after a visit, you’ll know exactly what to expect. We’re clear about pricing, we show up when we say we will, and we stay in touch.
- Tailored Cleaning Plans: Every home is different. Instead of a one-size-fits-all checklist, we customize our services to meet your needs, preferences, and schedule.
- Safe, Thoughtful Products: We use effective, non-toxic products that are safe for children, pets, and older surfaces. No overpowering chemical smells. No shortcuts.
- Respect for Your Space: We move carefully, clean thoroughly, and treat your home like we’d treat our own. That means clean floors, secure doors, and attention to the little things—like putting your dish towel back just the way we found it.
Why Cabinet Care Is a Metaphor for Good Cleaning
Matty’s advice about cleaning cabinets may seem like a small detail, but it reflects a larger principle: know what you’re working with, and treat it with respect. Older finishes need a light touch. So do clients who are busy, overwhelmed, or trying to get their homes back to feeling peaceful again.
That kind of care, both for materials and people, is what drives Way Finder.
A Voice You Can Trust
Being included in Redfin’s article isn’t just exciting—it’s validating. It shows that Matty’s voice, and Way Finder’s approach, has a place in the broader conversation about how we care for our homes. We’re not just cleaning—we’re helping clients restore confidence in their spaces.
