When Nicole Mezel-Bernath got into the organic cleaning business in 1996, organic was not nearly so mainstream.
As time went on and her customers wanted clean homes without the chemicals, her business,
Nicole's TLC Cleaning, grew.
Nearly 20 years after expanding to five cities near her company's home base of Plymouth, she's now adding a South Lyon`office as her two-person cleaning teams take on more residential accounts. The office in downtown South Lyon opened in early November.
"There is a need out here," Mezel-Bernath says.
She says it's a desire to keep chemicals out of the home that's driving the business and creating jobs for her employees.
Instead of using toxic chemical products, Nicole's TLC Cleaning cleans with substances such as tea tree oil, citrus solvents and essential oils.
"We think simple choices in cleaning products can make a big difference in your family's health and our communities," she says.
