Un-bee-lievably Clean

Michele Staricco of Bizzy Bee’z Home Services shares her story, offerings, and tips for getting (and keeping) a clean house.

At the helm of local cleaning company Bizzy Bee’z, is the savvy proprietor, and “Queen Bee”, Michele Staricco. Michele first honed her entrepreneurial skills as a child by cleaning her grandmother’s home. She later turned this skill into a lucrative venture during college, ultimately giving rise to Bizzy Bee’z 15 years ago in the Bay Area.  The company has achieved remarkable success and recognition, clinching the prestigious Best of Brentwood Gold Medal for six consecutive years.

1. What drew your family to El Dorado Hills?
We wanted a better life and education for our kids. We appreciate the slower pace here.  My family enjoys hiking, pickleball, and tennis. My son plays football for Oak Ridge and my daughter does dance, basketball, and cross country.

2. What made you decide to bring your business to El Dorado Hills?
While we were successful in the Bay, the commuting and distance were difficult to manage. This area is growing so rapidly, that they need a reliable, trustworthy house cleaning service.

3. What sets Bizzy Bee’z apart?
Communication is key. Our clients always appreciate our prompt response. We are also licensed, bonded, and insured while many others are not. We are authentically honest and care for our clients’ homes as we would our own.

4. What services do you offer?
We provide residential and commercial routine maintenance and deep cleaning. We specialize in move-in / move-outs, vacation rental resets, construction clean-ups, and organization services.

5. What are your best cleaning tips?
Try not to get overwhelmed – break it down by day.  Do bathrooms on Mondays, vacuuming on Tuesdays, etc., so by Friday, you’re ready for the weekend.  Also, a great-smelling house makes anyone feel better.  To prepare for professional cleaning, I always advise my clients to have a few laundry baskets ready for loose items around the home, so that when we arrive, we can focus on cleaning.  If your home is clean, you’ll have time to do other things – like organizing.

6. Are you running any promotions?
For March, we are offering a 10% off Spring cleaning special for first-time customers.
