Meet the Owner
Your Privacy Is Our Priority
I’m Genoveva DeBarros, and together with my husband Raul, I founded Private Home Cleaning in 2003 with a simple belief: your home deserves more than a generic cleaning service. It deserves care that reflects who you are and how you live.
When I started this company, I made a decision that has guided every year since: no franchising, no cutting corners, no revolving door of unfamiliar faces in your home. I personally train every team member and remain involved in daily operations. I know our clients by name, and many have become more like family over the years. I developed our Personalized Profile system because I noticed that every household has its own rhythms, preferences, and standards. Some clients want their throw pillows arranged a certain way. Others have specific instructions for their kitchen surfaces or a preferred schedule for rotating seasonal tasks. We document all of it, so your home is cared for exactly the way you want, every single visit.
Our crews are teams of three women who work together consistently. They know your home, your preferences, and your pets by name. Many of our team members have been with us for years, and that stability shows in the quality of their work. We use only non-toxic, pet safe products because our own family includes Dakota, our beloved Mastiff and Pitbull mix. We understand that a truly clean home means a safe home for everyone in it, including the four-legged members of your family.
