Long (≤120 words)

Lanier Pristine is a founder-led boutique cleaning company in Gainesville, GA, serving 12 cities along the Lake Lanier corridor. Owner Mara Guilford launched the business in 2014 as All Seasons Cleaning Services, rebranded to Lanier Pristine in 2022 when the operation refocused on the Lake Lanier area, and remains the lead operator. Mara has been cleaning North Georgia homes since arriving from Curitiba, Brazil in 2005 — 20+ years of industry experience overall. The company operates on a same-crew-every-visit model — explicitly different from the rotating-crew approach of national franchises — and is best known locally for vacation-rental turnover cleaning on Lake Lanier, pollen-season residential protocols, and a 100% Boutique Cleaning Guarantee backed by a 24-hour return re-clean. The team is fluent in English and Portuguese, with conversational Spanish.

Mara Guilford

Mara Guilford, founder and owner of Lanier Pristine
Mara Guilford — Owner & Founder, Lanier Pristine

Mara Guilford is the founder and lead operator of Lanier Pristine. She launched the business in 2014 and has personally cleaned homes across the Lake Lanier region for 15+ years.

Her boutique model — small dedicated teams, never rotating crews — is the structural answer to her core belief that consistency drives trust in residential service. Mara is named in the company's 5-star Google reviews, an authority signal that franchise services structurally cannot replicate.

Mara is fluent in English and Portuguese, with conversational Spanish. The company actively serves the Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking communities in the Lake Lanier corridor.
