When Hurricane Irene struck Manville in August, the offices of S&G Cleaning Services were submerged under 12 feet of flood water.
”We lost just about everything,” says Shirley Perlinsky, who operates the family-owned business that specializes in home and office cleaning and maid service.
Determined to continue the business she had worked so hard to establish and expand, Ms. Perlinsky operated from her home for four months while awaiting assistance from FEMA. On Dec. 6, S&G Cleaning Services moved into new offices on Ilene Court in Hillsborough.
A grand opening is scheduled from 3-5 p.m. Feb. 29.
”We were devastated when the floods destroyed our offices in Manville,” said Ms. Perlinsky, “but now we are thrilled and excited to be located in Hillsborough and looking forward to serving the community.”
S&G Cleaning Services uses only environmentally friendly “green” cleaning products and serves clients BY providing commercial office cleaning and construction cleanup services as well as residential cleaning. The company will clean windows and carpets, strip floors, wax and buff, and do post-construction cleanup and cleanouts.
”Irene inspired us to become certified in water damage cleanup, so we can now offer help to other victims of the flooding,” said Ms. Perlinsky.
S&G Cleaning Services is an active member of the Cleaning For A Reason Foundation (www.cleaningforareason.org), an organization dedicated to providing the gift of a clean home to women undergoing treatment for cancer.
”We provide free cleaning services through the foundation once a month for four months,” she said. “We have a passion for our jobs. Our mission is not just to provide cleaning services, but to alleviate the burden of worrying about endless jobs around the house, especially those that women fighting cancer should not have to worry about.”
