Auckland Start-Up Cleans Up Post Part Mess

New Zealand founded start-up Morning-After Maids, “has been inundated with requests for their services, from home and abroad,” as reported in an article in The Guardian.

The cleaning service that picks up the pieces from parties “the morning after”, which includes cleaning, cooking or buying breakfast for hungover hosts as well as doing coffee and painkiller runs.

Since launching on Facebook in early May the two founders and self-confessed clean-freaks Catherine Ashurst and Rebecca Foley, “have been fielding requests from around the country, as well as calls from people in the US and Canada interested in franchising the start-up,” according to the article.

“It’s amazing what has happened so quickly, but we are trying to keep our heads and not make any rash decisions,” said Ashurst.

“Obviously we have struck a chord and discovered a niche that hasn’t been met before. But neither of us has any business experience so we are seeking advice on how to proceed; we don’t want to ruin the character of the business by ballooning too fast.”

“We’ve both been in our 20s and partied so it’s nothing we haven’t seen before … the morning-after vibe can be quite fun actually, music playing, a bit of banter going, we like to bring lightness and positivity when we visit.”

“And it’s different from a cleaning service – we bring our dogs, we chat to you, we cook for you. I think if you are going to have someone in your home when you’re feeling a bit shaky, it needs to feel relaxed and comfortable.”
