Ava Palek's family company on Odana Road: 100 hours of training per cleaner, no subcontractors, and a free re-clean if anything was missed.
One recurring visit
A team of two works the same order every time, so nothing depends on memory. Your preferences, priority rooms, pet details and entry instructions stay on file.
Kitchen
Countertops cleaned and disinfected, appliances wiped inside and out, the stovetop degreased, cabinet fronts and hardware wiped, stainless polished, the sink and faucet sanitized, floors vacuumed and washed.
Living areas
Cobwebs, baseboards, furniture, picture frames, light fixtures, ceiling fans and vents. Electronics and TV screens get a duster only. Window sills wiped, beds made.
Floors
Carpets and rugs vacuumed, hard floors mopped after every surface above them is done. Bathrooms finish the same way: fixtures polished, mirrors cleared, floors washed on the way out.
Before the door closes
The team leaves a checklist and a short survey after every clean. If anything was missed, call within 24 hours and they come back to re-clean it, no questions asked.
Countersigned
That only happens when the same people keep coming back. Low turnover is the whole point of hiring for the long term.

“Our family,” on a long-term basis.
That is what the company calls its staff. Every one of them is local to the Madison area.
Where the system came from
Poland
Ava worked at a university in Poland before deciding to move to the United States for a better future for her family. Her training in Human Resources came with her.
Madison
Raising two children on her own, she turned to house cleaning to support them. Her attention to detail and her own cleaning system got noticed one home at a time.
The system
Every cleaner now trains for 100 hours with a one-on-one coach and passes an assessment before going into the field, then meets monthly to keep learning. Nothing is subcontracted.
The company
Touch of Europe employs many single mothers, all of them local, on a long-term basis. Turnover stays very low, which is why the same people keep coming into your home week after week.
Cleaning for a Reason
Touch of Europe partners with Cleaning for a Reason, the nonprofit that arranges free house cleaning for women battling cancer, and commits two free cleanings. The shirts go pink for it every year.
