Luciana Cleaning Services Laurel Maryland Launches Their New Site
Laurel, Maryland (PRWEB) January 04, 2012
Luciana Cleaning Services Company located in Maryland started the New Year off right, with the fresh new release of their website. “We had been stranded in a 5 year old site for so long that we had forgotten who we were! But this new site really brings our core concept to life and gives meaning to our services” says owner and founder Luciana.
Cleaning services in Laurel Maryland has been a booming industry within the past few years, as more and more home owners are focused on their careers and family, and have little or no time to maintain their homes the way they would like to. Spending time with the family has become a priority for most people in America as we keep getting hit with more and more distractions throughout our daily lives. Things such as facebook, youtube, texting, and smart phones are just some of the things that cut and eat into our spare times.
Education has been another direct focus of today’s parents as more kids tend to move away from regular homework and studying due to gaming, cell phones and computers/internet in general. Getting kids to focus has become a hard job for parents, and making sure they are compliant with their homework and school chores is a must. Parents time is also being spent attending more school events and meetings with their kids to show them that they care and are there for them.
Luciana Cleaning Services provide their cleaning services in Maryland with clients all over the Washington DC metropolitan areas including Northern Virginia. Luciana understands the value of ‘time’ and strives to give some back to her clients by providing excellence in her work.
You can contact Luciana by calling (240) 988-7653 or by visiting her website.
