 The company is a unique home-cleaning service that uses only natural products. It was formed in 2006, with a $300 investment, by two moms with young children, who were looking for ways to make money and provide a safer environment for their families. According to co-founder, Nathan Brown, Maid Naturally became interested in Sustainable Oroville, through his long time friendship with CMO, Ryan Skinner. “When Ryan asked me if our company was as supportive of Green Product Advancement as his venture, it was like we had been talking about it for years,” said Mr. Brown by telephone. “Our business is the only EnviroStars™ Certified cleaning service in Washington State.” No small accomplishment. The EnviroStars program was created in 1995, as a service of the Local Hazardous Waste Management Program in King County, Washington. According to EnviroStars’ website: The mission is to provide assistance and incentives for smaller businesses to reduce hazardous materials and waste, in order to protect public health, municipal systems, and the environment. The products used by Maid Naturally, were originally formulated by the two moms--Ruthanne Eberly and Heather Brown--who started the company, due to a raised awareness of chemicals being used around their children. The product line is currently used by other cleaning services, businesses, and it is sold in 27 stores around the state. The company now has surpassed 10 employees. “With the use of Toxic chemicals in home, businesses, schools and public buildings contributing to environmental and health hazards with our society, we wanted to help make a difference in any area we could,” said Nathan Brown. The Sustainable Oroville project also grew from the ideas of long time friends, Ryan Skinner, Steve Morberg, and Tim King. Sustainable Oroville is a project, where the city is creating sustainable solutions on their own, despite the economic challenges facing the State of Washington. The city is utilizing existing infrastructure to attract green industry and development that will increase jobs, tourism, affordable renewable energy and revenue for area farmers for a sustainable future. Tim King, is just weeks away from opening a canola oil-seed crushing plant in Oroville. The benefits would include bio-fuel plant feedstock, with some resulting bio-fuel going to local farmers; an increase in wheat and other crop yield; meal feed for dairy cows and other farm animals; and possible local electricity generated from incinerating canola-derived bio-fuel. Steve Morberg plans to build a green hotel, which will be imperative to the growth of Oroville, and many local officials, including the Chamber of Commerce, are excited about the prospect. Sustainable Oroville is being designed as a green industry template to be duplicated in communities across America. Maid Naturally and other clean energy companies have recognized the benefit of sustainability and environmental stewardship, by partnering with Sustainable Oroville and its investment firm Carbon Cycle Investments (CCI). “By partnering with CCI we know that people and the environment will benefit greatly from the corporations success,” Said Brown. “Maid Naturally is committed to decreasing waste and energy consumption and increasing Green Technologies that benefit the planet--along with providing a healthier choice of cleaners for homes and businesses.” The motto of Maid Naturally is Clean like Nature intended.
