The Founder’s Journey
The founder, Tomoyuki Saito, transitioned into this line of work after initially working in hotel housekeeping. The pandemic impacted the hospitality industry significantly, leading him to explore other avenues temporarily as a dispatch worker for cluttered home cleanups. His initial shock at the state of extreme clutter during these jobs crystallized his realization of the need for such services in society. What began as a surprising venture quickly turned into a recognized expertise for him, particularly in high-quality cleaning services where he draws from his previous experiences in hotel cleaning.
Insightful Experiences
Saito shared several poignant cases during his service:
- - Cat House: A former university professor became increasingly isolated and let their home deteriorate with accumulated cat waste until their children had to request cleanup following their passing.
- - Cockroach Infested Home: In one particularly alarming case, a residence was so cluttered that entry required scaling mountains of rubbish, creating a breeding ground for pests.
- - Medical Professional's Cluttered Space: The pandemic also revealed a troubling trend among healthcare workers grappling with their own living conditions.
Reflecting on Service
Through these experiences, Saito noticed a recurring theme; many clients who required such fundamental assistance were caregivers for others, raising the question of self-neglect or ‘self-neglect’. This prompted him to incorporate follow-up counseling into their services, aiming to foster better communication and support among clients, helping to reduce the prevalence of such overwhelming situations.
