Maid Pure, Organic Cleaning With a Twist

Maid Pure's new retail shop, located in the Commons off Coleman Blvd in Mt. Pleasant.

Walking into MAID PURE newest location is like walking into the serenity of a yoga studio. I am not sure why this is. Maybe it is the scent of the hand made soy candles. Maybe it is the warmth and confidence of their character. Maybe it is the fresh, clean and clutter-free decor. Whatever it is, I always leave energetic, refreshed and ready to take on the world.

Visiting a store like MAID PURE makes me realize the importance of supporting small, locally owned businesses, run by people who are experts in their field and really stand behind their concept. Nothing can be more true in this case.  Heather and Dorsey Fairbairn are committed to the health and well-being of their clients, by offering truly “green” and toxic-free cleaning services and supplies.

Our mission is simple: to give you non-toxic sparkling clean service so you can cherish not only your home but the environment you live in. We believe your home and environment should be your sanctuary. We are committed to changing the way you view the cleaning industry. Our philosophy emphasizes preventing illness, prolonging life, and protecting the environment. We use eco-friendly products, microfiber cloths, and hypoallergenic vacuums. Our home spa packages and signature amenities will transform your home into a personal retreat.

Limelight Custom Sign Co. has been fortunate to work with MAID PURE on several projects, ranging from vehicle magnets for their cleaning fleet, exterior and interior retail sign-age, flags and limeGREEN biodegradable banners for the Charleston Green Fair.

Our world at Limelight is often hectic and very deadline driven. Visiting MAID PURE makes us realize that sometimes we owe ourselves a little treat for our toil, reminds us that we should take the time to educate ourselves and question the patterns that we may have created and most importantly, reaffirms the importance of supporting the small businesses in our community that are truly trying to make a difference.
