Merry Maids team members spend more than 6 million hours in
customers’ homes each year and are the experts in providing clean
and healthy environments. With this new collaboration, they can now
leverage the 3M brand’s advanced cleaning products and proprietary
cleaning techniques in the process.
Combining the best of cleaning and the best of
science
Merry Maids and 3M teamed up to improve the efficiency and
effectiveness of the cleaning process, spending over 500 hours
researching products and solutions to bring the best of 3M cleaning
science into the homes of Merry Maids customers across the
country.
Merry Maids and 3M continued to work together during the
COVID-19 global pandemic to offer cleaning and disinfection
services using 3M disinfectant. 3M offered virtual training on
disinfecting products to ensure consistent protocols were followed
across the country. Additionally, the Merry Maids network quickly
incorporated the cleaning and disinfection protocols to clean and
disinfect all equipment after each home cleaning to protect the
health and safety of customers and team members.
More than a dozen products used in customers’ homes
Merry Maids now uses more than a dozen 3M products in the homes
of Merry Maids customers, including:
- Scotchgard™ glass and stainless steel cleaning solutions that
provide an exceptional clean and surface protection.
- Scotch-Brite™ brushes and pads include anti-microbial
protection and offer safe cleaning power for multiple surfaces in
the home.
- 3M Disinfectant RCT Cleaner Concentrate, an EPA-registered
disinfectant that meets the EPA’s Emerging Pathogen Policy specific
to COVID-19, to disinfect high-touch areas in the home.
Merry Maids team members across 480 franchise locations receive
specific training on products from a dedicated team at 3M. Each
Merry Maids location has direct hotline access to 3M technical
support to quickly get answers to questions about products and
their usage.
“Our Merry Maids customers expect the best,” said Hagan Kappler,
president of Merry Maids. “Our work with 3M offers our customers
science-based cleaning solutions that leverage the expertise of
both companies. We have a great collaboration and we look forward
to further enhancing the ability of Merry Maids to create clean and
healthy environments in the homes of our customers.”
“At Scotch-BriteTM, we believe that clean changes everything,
and a clean home can set the tone for a fresh, uplifting start
every day,” said Beth Edinger, vice president, Home Care Division,
3M. “In today’s world, cleanliness has taken on a new importance,
as consumers want to ensure their homes are safe and healthy for
themselves and their loved ones. We are so excited to team up with
Merry Maids and deliver science-based cleaning solutions to homes
across America that consumers can trust and find comfort in.”
Additional 3M products are currently being tested by Merry Maids
and more are in the pipeline for future testing and network-wide
rollout to further enhance the Merry Maids cleaning kit of products
