The Heart Behind
Gainesville's Boutique Cleaning Team

"I was raised to believe trust is the top of everything — that when you finish working in someone's home, every detail should show you took it seriously."

I grew up in Curitiba, in southern Brazil, and came to the United States in 2005, for work, for a change, and to learn another language. I spent the next several years cleaning homes as a helper, then as a supervisor. In 2018 I started my own service as All Seasons Cleaning Services. The lake became the specialty in 2020, and in 2022 I renamed the business Lanier Pristine, which placed me where I actually live, where I clean, and where the families I serve call home.

The way I approach a home is, I think, very Brazilian: detail-driven, never rushed. That's why I keep a small dedicated team and don't rotate crews. There's a young couple on Lake Lanier I've cleaned for since their baby was born; he's two now, and watching him grow up is one of the small privileges of this work. From recurring cleaning to deep cleans, the same hands every time, in Gainesville and the eleven cities around it, is the work. The Portuguese word I'd choose for it is confiança: trust, plus the care of a job well done. How growing up in Brazil shaped this business
