Joy of Cleaning

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHT:  THE JOY OF CLEANING - No Longer Active

The Joy of Cleaning is a residential and commercial cleaning business that serves the Greater Boston and North Shore areas. Joy Sacramone, owner and employee, has been in the cleaning business for more than 15 years.

A basic cleaning includes dusting, cleaning baseboards and windowsills, washing all floors, vacuuming and cleaning kitchens and bathrooms from top to bottom. Cleaning ovens, shampooing rugs and washing windows incur an extra charge.

The Joy of Cleaning provides a special house cleaning service to hospice patients. Hospice patients who are returning home from the hospital may receive a one-time only, light house cleaning, free of charge. They will change linens, wash glass surfaces, dust, vacuum, wash floors and completely clean bathrooms and kitchens. Those interested in this free service need to be in their service area and must contact the Joy of Cleaning to arrange a cleaning time and to let them know who will let them into the house or where a house key will be hidden.*

For more information, contact the Joy of Cleaning at (617) 387-4869. Also, the Joy of Cleaning is listed in IRis under the keywords, "Cleaning Service" and "Heavy Cleaning" and written information is available by calling the CRC.

*Since original publication of this story this program has expanded to any patient with a serious illness; they do not have to be a hospice patient.
