About The Funky Sponge
From a mop and a few supplies back in 2003 to trusted crews across Florida and Arkansas — here are the people who keep The Funky Sponge running.
Meet the Owners
Co-Owner & Founder
Cleaning has been my life since I started with a mop, broom, and a few professional supplies back in 2003. My clients named my service, "Marvelous Maria's Cleaning". From there, the company name changed to Welcome Home Cleaning where by the end of 2014, it had grown to 36 staff members, and something truly special. Today, I am blessed to own a few businesses and have the honor to work alongside amazing people doing what I love: cleaning homes.
Co-Owner
In addition to being a co-owner of The Funky Sponge, I work in software marketing and run a marketing agency that helps service-based businesses grow through optimized systems and processes. I'm passionate about building businesses, streamlining operations, and finding practical solutions to make work more efficient. My role with The Funky Sponge stems from my hands-on dedication to creating something solid, well-run, and built to last.
Hot Springs is home — I grew up here, it's my hometown, and it's where we're raising our three boys and attend New Life Church. Getting to build something dependable in the place I love, alongside great people, means everything.
What We're Building
Background-checked, trained, and treated right — because crews who feel valued clean like it's their own home.
Twenty-plus years of cleaning know-how, run on tight processes so every home gets the same dependable result.
From The Villages to Hot Springs, we live where we clean — and we're growing with the same crews and standards.
