The reviews don’t lie: Alex Matteoli of Little Buckle Co. is called a “miracle worker,” “life saver” and “super professional.” This queen of clean is on a mission to calm the chaos and lighten the load of busy Cincinnati moms with her premium, luxury car seat cleaning service, Little Buckle Co.
“I pick up your car seat from your porch, I clean it and I drop it back off,” explains Alex.
It’s a simple process, and that’s the point. Alex knows firsthand how busy life can get. As a mother of four that once led a corporate lifestyle, she has a heart for the plight of mothers. Her passion for entrepreneurship and motherhood led to the launch of the company last January.
“The mental load that moms have to take on is very unfair,” she says. “When you have a dirty car seat, every car ride starts with a guilt trip. Moms have plenty to think about already. I want this to be easy.”
With pick-up options in the morning and evening, Little Buckle Co. works around your schedule, so families don’t have downtime without an essential car seat.
“Car seats are so expensive—it’s an investment and you have to maintain it,” Alex says. “You can’t throw it in the washer, you can’t spray it down with a hose, you can’t even wipe it with a Clorox wipe. Now that I’m educated, I know what damage moisture, food and mold can do to compromise the safety of a car seat.”
Little Buckle Co. is committed to following the manufacturer guidelines for care and cleaning of each car seat model. Alex looks up the manuals online and follows them carefully.
“Car seats have to be cleaned by manufacturer guidelines because certain cleaning techniques can compromise the integrity of the safety of the car seat,” she explains. “I handwash with mild soap and water. I use low-tox products—no harsh chemicals. My own kids have every allergy, so I don’t take any chances.”
With transparent pricing and no complications, the small business is serious about its white-glove service.
“I am motivated by the relief that moms feel when they get their car seats back and they look like new. It’s very satisfying work,” Alex says.
The chaos of crumbs and crevices does not phase her.
“No judgment,” Alex shares. “The messier, the better! I get it.”
