Gwendolyn Courtney cleaned professionally for ten years before starting Shine Cleaning in 2015 and prides herself on the quality and efficiency of her work. While there are many “green clean” businesses out there, Gwen set off on her own because she felt that the bar was not set high enough when it comes to 100% chemical-free products and dedication to recycling and reusing. Shine uses and swears by Norwex® cleaning products which are free of dyes, petroleum solvents, phosphates and other harsh chemicals. When Gwen is not providing the best of the best chemical-free cleaning services to clients she can be found exploring the amazing outdoors that the Pacific Northwest has to offer as well as documenting adventures and the awesome people she gets to meet through her creative passion of photography. Gwen is dedicated to and inspired by her faith in God every day and she incorporates this into every aspect of her life. Why use green cleaning services? Easy!- You will get more time for yourself and your family. If you find yourself feeling exhausted as most of us do just trying to keep up with the basics of making dinner, doing dishes, and cleaning up after yourself and family when not at work, surely the last thing you want is to use up even more time to scrub the door frame or vacuum all the pet hair up from the living room rugs! That plus the fact that quality work, attention to detail, and commitment to chemical-free products are all the mission of Shine Cleaning which means you will have the peace of mind knowing that you are breathing cleaner air.
