I think you will be surprised that we have more than vacuum
cleaners. This is the merging of two
lives and two very divergent careers: Stephen Fuhrman and Jeanie Jones.
Steve has been in the business of selling vacuums for 25
years. When we met he had a retail store
in Tracy, CA. He was not happy being in
California. We started making plans for
a future that did not include California.
I have been a therapist for 25 years. When I met Steve I had been doing contract and
consulting work and training and found that I was much happier being my own boss. I had moved to California, but was open to
other locations.
We began to aggressively expand Steve’s online business in
preparation for a move. We decided on
Oklahoma: home for Jeanie, closer to
Steve’s family in Minnesota, cheaper rent, centrally located. We got married and made the move to
Oklahoma.
I have chemical sensitivities and had been using
non-chemical methods of cleaning and making my own cleaning supplies for
years. Steve sold cleaning products but
had never heard of Natural Cleaning Products.
Steve & I got more involved in selling Miele Vacuum Cleaners: went to some sales meetings, learned more about the products and company, met Nick Ord, President of Miele USA
and we decided to make a shift in products and focus as we made the move to
OK.
Since moving to Oklahoma, we had been growing weary of poor
quality, made in China, disposable vacuum cleaners, (filling landfills and
making customers grumpy), chemicals that are unhealthy and big box stores that
take our money out of Oklahoma, out of the USA and offer poor quality, little
to no customer service in return for cheap prices.
Our goals:
- · Excellent customer service = Engage with the customer, solve their problems, offer quality products and service
- · Eco-friendly products that are sustainable, non-chemical, healthy for families
- · Made in USA, locally or regionally when possible, made in Europe, made by companies that are responsible
With all of this in mind, we are no longer a Vacuum Cleaner
Store. We are A Cleaner Place, where you
can buy vacuum cleaners, floor care machines, personal care products, kitchen
products, household products all with the above goals in mind.
