Lake Charles, LA – August 21, 2023 – Cleaning by Design, officially registered as Kristen’s Cleaning by Design, LLC, has forged a partnership with Cleaning for a Reason, a nonprofit dedicated to providing complimentary house cleaning services to cancer patients throughout the United States and Canada. Owner Kristen Prejean is resolute in her mission to make a meaningful difference within their community, and she is enthusiastic about expanding their reach to offer assistance to individuals battling cancer during their challenging times.
“Our hearts are to serve so it was an easy decision to join Cleaning for a Reason, especially when we learned of its connection to the cleaning industry,” said Prejean. “The chance to do what we do best, while making a meaningful impact on the lives of cancer patients and their families truly gives us all a sense of purpose and fulfillment in our work. We appreciate this opportunity to give back to our community as we work toward providing both a clean environment and a sense of relief and comfort to these resilient individuals during their cancer journey.”
In partnership with Cleaning for a Reason, Cleaning by Design supports two cancer patients’ homes each month for two consecutive months free of charge. This will be an ongoing service to cancer patients residing in Lake Charles, Iowa, Westlake, Sulphur, Moss Bluff, Lacassine, Grand Lake, and Sweet Lake.
Cleaning by Design operates as a family-owned cleaning business, specializing in residential homes and commercial buildings. Owner Kristen Prejean initiated her independent cleaning venture in 2004. The year 2020, marked by the aftermath of the severe hurricanes Laura and Delta, saw Prejean respond to a divine calling, leading her to establish the cleaning enterprise recognized today as Cleaning by Design. The team’s dedication to their craft is underscored by their fervent passion and unwavering commitment, evident in the pride they invest in their work. Positioned as a modest yet steadily expanding company, they place a premium on transparent operations and effective communication.
“As a mother, wife, and businesswoman deeply connected to Southwest Louisiana, I’ve devoted 19 years to delivering quality services,” said Prejean. “Time lost on household cleaning can never be regained, which is why we’re here to help our clients’ restore their routine. While we handle the tasks, our clients can focus on family and whatever matters most. Our commitment to excellence infuses every endeavor, resulting in an exceptional cleaning service. I take pride in providing a job culture that empowers employees—both men and women—with livable wages, fostering their well-being, family care, and love for their work. Our goal is to offer our clients a professionally cleaned home, accompanied by peace of mind.”
Cleaning by Design is the proud recipient of the Nextdoor Favorites 2023 Award.
