At just 18 years old, Malú Mendieta arrived in Canada from Peru with her family. When her mother Angelica Arias became Cleany’s very first franchisee in 2023, Malú joined as Customer Service and Operations Manager.
With zero prior cleaning experience, this mother-daughter team embraced Cleany’s app-based system, eco-friendly products, and proven support — and grew the business at an impressive pace.
Impressive Results:
- Month 1: Started with $2,700 in monthly revenue
- Month 12: Reached $20,000+ per month
- Month 25: Grew to $35,000+ per month
- Expanded to Maple Ridge in 2024 — now fully owned and operated by Malú
- 20 Service Providers (15 in Tri-Cities + 5 in Maple Ridge)
- 172 Recurring Clients (150 in Tri-Cities + 22 in Maple Ridge)
“If I say I’ll be there, I’ll be there — and if something’s wrong, I’ll fix it.” — Malú Mendieta
