Last week Two Bettys made the unbelievably difficu

Last week Two Bettys made the unbelievably difficult decision to temporarily close its doors to residential cleaning services and let go of all but a skeleton crew of staff. This decision was made swiftly out of profound concern for the safety and well-being of our cleaners, clients, and community. As a cleaning company that puts people and planet first, we put health at the forefront of our business model. .

Like so many small businesses, we made the decision to temporarily close residential cleans in hopes that it will - in the long term - benefit our employees, company, and community as a whole. We have deep and profound gratitude towards our clients who have generously continued to pay for services - even though all cleans have been canceled. This action is a lifeline for our business and we cannot thank you enough. .

Like so many of you, we are experiencing a range of emotions. We are in shock at how drastically our lives have changed in mere days. We believe and want our elected officials to take appropriate measures soundly and swiftly. We are grieving the loss of life as we once knew it and the loss of loved ones known and unknown to a global pandemic. .

We are also hopeful. Hopeful that, as a community, we can reach out and support each other. Hopeful that together we can create a powerful network of connection that will sustain us through this period of uncertainty and beyond. .

In the coming days and weeks, Two Bettys will continue our work in the community and at the state Capitol to advocate on behalf of workers and small businesses. We are dreaming up new ideas for community support and mutual aid. We are working both quickly and thoughtfully towards a refreshed Two Bettys Green Cleaning experience when it is safe for the health of everyone involved. Keep following - we have a lot in store.

Over the weekend the federal House passed the #Fam

Over the weekend the federal House passed the #FamiliesFirst bill to address COVID-19 - including #PaidSick4All. It’s a good first step but there are major gaps for small businesses - like Two Bettys - that this bill just doesn’t solve. We are dedicated to the health and safety of our employees and community and need a bill that doesn’t leave anyone out.

We need our entire community, local and state government to have our back. Please call your elected officials today and let them know you care about people who work at small businesses. #MNHasYourBack

As the weather gets warmer and the ground gets mud

As the weather gets warmer and the ground gets muddier, our pups' paws get dirtier! Even if you can't train your doggo to wipe their feet, a good quality doormat can go a long way to maintaining your floors between Two Bettys cleans. An outside doormat combined with a washable throw rug inside the door can catch the yuck and muck simply from having your dog walk across them. If your dog had THE BEST DAY EVER at the dog park, place a rimmed baking sheet filled with a half-inch of water outside the door. Place those paws in the water and dry them off with a towel you smartly placed on a table or hook by the door. Don't worry - a Betty will be back soon to mop away any remaining pawprints! 🐾🧽✨

Maintaining the health, safety, and well-being of

Maintaining the health, safety, and well-being of cleaners and clients alike is a top priority of the Two Bettys crew. With the spread and containment efforts of COVID-19, we are grateful to make use of one of the world’s greatest inventions: soap. Washing our hands and wiping down hard surfaces with soap and water - not harsh chemicals that compromise the environment and our health - works best to break down lipids like grease, oil, and germs. When we clean, we always put people and planet first.
