Molly Maid offering "A Clean Slate for Teachers" this fall

With students heading back to classrooms across the country this September, one franchise brand is showing support for the educators who guide their learning.

Molly Maid, a residential cleaning franchise with more than 450 locations, today announced the launch of its “A Clean Slate for Teachers” contest. Between September 1 and September 30, students, parents, colleagues, and other community members can nominate a local teacher to win free home cleanings for a year.

“Teachers show up for their students every single day with care, compassion, and commitment,” said Michael Silva-Nash, President of Molly Maid. “Through our ‘A Friend Like Molly’ campaign, we’re proud to show up for them in return. This contest is our way of saying thank you for the countless ways educators make a difference in the lives of their students and in our communities.”

One grand prize winner will receive gift certificates that entitle them to an average of one house cleaning per month, a total value of as much as $6,000. Those cleaning credits will enable a hard-working teacher to leverage their local Molly Maid franchisee in order to reclaim time for relaxation, visiting with loved ones, or well-earned breaks throughout the school year. The winner will be selected from all the nominees submitted during the contest period on or shortly after October 1 by a panel of judges chosen by Molly Maid.

Anybody who legally resides in the Continental United States with a valid email address can nominate a teacher in their community to win the cleanings, although only one entry is allowed per person/email address. No purchase of any kind is necessary to enter or win. Completing the nomination form involves sharing just a few pieces of contact information and some context focused on why that educator deserves to win.

Molly Maid was founded in 1979 at Adrienne and Chris Stringer’s kitchen table in Mississauga, Canada. After incubating north of the border, the brand first began doing business in the United States in 1984, when entrepreneur David McKinnon brought Molly Maid to Ann Arbor, Michigan. Since 2015, Molly Maid has been part of the Neighborly portfolio of home services, which contains 28 brands, including Five Star Painting, Mr. Rooter, and Precision Garage Door Service, among others.
