A Fresh Take on Home Cleaning.
Three best friends, three different business majors, and one big leap into entrepreneurship, Dais Cleaning started with a bold mindset:
"Start before you're ready."
That’s exactly what Brooke, Heidi, and Meg did when they realized the need for a truly non-toxic, high-touch cleaning service in the Twin Cities
ForthefoundersofDais,thejourneystartedattheUniversityofSt.Thomas,wheretheymajored inHR,Finance,andMarketing Entrepreneurshipwasallaroundthem,butnoneofthemhad plannedtostartabusiness,untilanideachangedeverything.

Letting someone into your home requires trust. That’s why every cleaner at Dais undergoesbackgroundchecks,hands-ontraining,andisneversentsolountilthey meettheteam’shighstandards
