The Inspiration Behind Cindy’s Journey
My grandmother, Sadie, whom we called Me-Me, knew the art of wizardry for housecleaning finesse. Me-Me was the head housekeeper for a prominent New York family living on Central Park West in their five-story mansion. I remember the first time I went with her to work: I was a toddler, and as I walked through the front door, I saw a gleaming white marble palatial staircase with a black railing. It led to the floors upstairs that I imagined must have been up there pretty close to heaven itself. Of course, you could take the private elevator up into those celestial living areas, too.
Me-Me was a domestic goddess; I loved to watch her confidence and attentiveness as she went about her work. Whatever she touched with her cloth, her brush, or her duster, her action changed the object’s appearance into a dustless, clean surface or item. The color of genuinely clean appearances remains a vision of delight within me to this day!
The Cleaning Magic Within
As Me-Me's first grandchild, I was honored to make many trips to her workplace. She allowed me to make my way freely to the formal living room, scoot myself up onto one of the many silk sofas, fluff the skirt of my dress out just so, and attentively observe my Me-Me. Her work effort exhibited mesmerizing achievement that amazed me.
My mom must have had a bit of that same cleaning magic in her, too. Although she worked full-time as a dietician, she’d supplement her income by cleaning residences biweekly.
At the ripe old age of nine, I took it upon myself one Saturday morning to clean our three-story home. Nobody told me to do it. Better yet, no one stopped me! I cleaned our house from then on. I was living my “clean is clean” life, serendipitously. I’d begun my war on dirt movement!
By the time I was fourteen, my parents had allowed me to clean an apartment owned by the aunt of a friend of mine every other weekend. I had more skill sets for house cleaning under my belt at fourteen to her liking than anyone she could find in Queens, NY.
I kept up my extracurricular cleaning throughout high school and college. Why? There was plenty of work for my developed skills, flexible scheduling, and I was passionately happy doing this work.
After college, I continued to clean on weekends, even though I was working full-time as the manager of a halfway house at a New York hospital.
After a couple of years, I took the mental dare to become an entrepreneur! Word spread fast, and I quickly became a small business.
I’m sure Me-Me is proud as she looks down from heaven at her granddaughter, Cindy Inman – aka – Ask Cindy How.
