Business: Maid At Home Residential/Commercial Cleaning
Owner: Beth Castro
About: When she was a young girl, Beth Castro always remembered her mom cleaning and grew to fall in love with it and having that satisfaction of coming home to a clean home. Twenty years later, she’s come full circle from working at Radio Works to interviewing with B103 at the same station she worked at before she started Maid At Home Residential/Commercial Cleaning.
“It’s been an amazing experience. Something I never ever expected, but we’re still here,” Castro said on an Interview with the B103 Morning Routine. “I had no idea what I was doing, I absolutely had no idea. But I knew I wanted to do something on my own, so I took it day by day.”
Castro says helping people is what her business is all about. “People are buying time to spend with their families and just to know that you helped them create a space that they can come home to and just breathe, it’s rewarding and I’m glad that we can help.”

From new construction cleaning to residential and commercial, to offices and bars, Maid At Home Residential/Commercial Cleaning does it all.
During the pandemic, Maid At Home Residential/Commercial Cleaning received a lot of attention from local businesses. Castro invested in sanitizing machines that were able to help keep some of these businesses open. Once someone tested positive for COVID-19, the cleaning company would go to that business and spray the surface.
“COVID, the past two years, has brought challenges that nobody could have ever imagined,” Castro said. “So for a cleaning company, we were right out there on the front line every single day and my staff didn’t skip a beat.”
Castro says her biggest support system comes from her staff and everyday she is thankful for them.
