Contestant's Case to Win

This is based on the number of votes received.

bidmycleaning.com is the new simple way to find and schedule house cleaning services. As a working mother of a toddler I know how hard it is to keep up with all the household chores while ensuring the family gets their quality time. My husband and I, together with two partners, started bidmycleaning.com to make it quicker and easier to find reliable qualified service providers to come in and clean your home. We also wanted to add value to the service provider community, many of whom are small independents, by providing them with an effective marketing channel where there are no upfront costs.

Now with bidmycleaning.com you can get instant bids from pre-screened local service providers, read customer reviews and schedule a cleaning service on a real-time calendar all within minutes. Save time by not having to search for and email or call many providers to get pricing on maid service, window cleaning or carpet cleaning.

My husband and I both work full time in corporate America and on bidmycleaning.com nights and weekends. We often joke having a web startup is like having a baby in the house - you get very little sleep and it demands your attention all the time.
