Me and Big Mama

Welcome

se·ren·i·ty   (sə-rĕn'ĭ-tē): The quality or condition of being serene; clearness; calmness; quietness; stillness; peace.

Welcome to Serenity!
Our world is in constant motion. Shifts in the way we think and react to our environment are shaping our realities. Admittedly, in the past, I’ve been most irresponsible with regard to how I met those realities by either shying away from or doing my best to avoid conflict all together. The “I see but don’t see” method of dealing with life.

Well, I thank Heaven for turning points (I’ve had a few recently) - those special events that produce lasting shifts in the life course trajectory. A native of New Orleans and the region known as the Gulf, I have also seen enough of the effects of our worldly responses to catastrophes and our environment to stir up a nation. For me, paying attention does means taking the responsibility to respond.

The business of cleaning has been in my family for decades. Thank you Big Mama! I also admit that I am a bleach girl who had used conventional cleaning products all of my life. Fifteen years ago, when I opened my first cleaning service, I had never even thought of the harmful effects of using these chemicals. [http://life.gaiam.com/gaiam/p/Whats-So-Bad-About-Chemical-Cleaning-Products.html]

I was much more concerned with making money and less concerned with the consequences of my body’s exposure to them. My, how times have changed.
A lover of the environment, if anyone knows me, on any given day I might be out hugging a tree or greeting all of nature with a smile. Somehow I knew that a Serene and Eco Friendly Environment is where I needed to be.

A work in progress, going green in cleaning is a huge shift for me. I am however, committed to going green where possible and putting the environment first.

​Enjoy Serenity Cleaning & Facilities Maintenance of NC. Your leader in providing eco-friendly cleaning products and services! Visit soon as I will be opening a sister location in New Orleans as well.
Blessings,
Shawn

Going Green...

A GREEN CLEAN
Green Cleaning is defined as cleaning to protect health without harming the environment.

​Green Thoughts:
Vinegar can replace bleach. Use equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. The only smell that will remain when you're done is a clean one.
Baking soda cures stains and odors. Like vinegar, it's nontoxic, multipurpose and inexpensive. Use as a safe scrubber instead of bleach-based abrasive cleansers.
Rub a cut lemon half over chrome faucets, then buff for an instant shine.

Mission
Serenity’s mission is to provide our clients with an exceptional cleaning service using eco friendly products that will protect health without harming the environment.

Through community service and online outreach programs, Serenity’s intention is to be a resource for health, wealth, and wisdom.

​Vision
