Maidpro Tackles The Dirt With A&E's Hit Tv Show 'Hoarders!'

(Tuesday, December 29, 2009) - MaidPro, an international franchisor of house cleaning services, has been featured on A&E's hit television show, 'Hoarders.' The series takes a fascinating look at the lives of people whose inability to part with their belongings is so out of control that they are on the verge of a personal crisis and their journey to clean up their life. MaidPro partnered with Screaming Flea Productions to restore the homes featured on the show to a livable condition once the clutter has been cleared.

Mark Kushinsky, CEO of MaidPro, said, 'I think hoarding is a fairly misunderstood condition. Getting the homes of these hoarders clean is a certainly difficult, seemingly insurmountable task, but the reality is that the initial clean is just the beginning of a very long journey these people will take. We just hope we can help with this one component of their recovery to set them on the right track.'

'MaidPro is always on time, efficient, friendly, caring and respectful. They can clean the toughest jobs and nothing fazes them. They treat our clients with care and compassion and are always professional,' says 'Hoarders' Producer, Liza Keckler of Screaming Flea Productions.

'Hoarders' explores the world of extreme hoarding; a mental disorder marked by an obsessive need to collect things, even if the items are worthless, hazardous or unsanitary. 'Hoarders' is produced for A&E by Screaming Flea Productions. Producers are Jodi Flynn, Matt Chan and Dave Severson. A&E Executive Producers are Robert Sharenow and Andy Berg. 3.2 million people watched the season two premiere on Nov. 30. 'Hoarders' airs every Monday at 10 p.m. EST on A&E.
