In 2020, during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, Emma and Daniel embarked on a new journey together. As a husband-and-wife team, they saw an opportunity to make a difference in their beloved town of Mangawhai, where Emma had grown up. After years of travelling and experiencing diverse roles—from kitchen hands to horticulture work —they were ready to put their skills and passion into creating something meaningful.

Emma’s background was already connected to the cleaning industry, having grown up in a family that owned motels. This experience gave her a solid foundation and a keen eye for quality service. Daniel, as a trained lawyer, brought a unique perspective to the business. They shared a vision to build a company that was not just about providing excellent cleaning services but also about creating a positive impact on their community.

When they noticed a gap in the market for a professional cleaning service, they decided to start Bubble Cleaning. Their goal was to run the business differently from their previous experiences as employees. They wanted to create a workplace where respect, fair treatment, and opportunities were at the forefront.

Bubble Cleaning is more than just a cleaning service; it’s a commitment to the local community. Emma and Daniel’s desire to offer meaningful work opportunities to local individuals who may have faced challenges—whether being out of the workforce whilst raising kids or having a language barrier—drives their business. By prioritising the well-being of their employees and maintaining high standards of service, they aim to support families and contribute to the overall betterment of Mangawhai.

Their approach creates a ripple effect: by looking after their team, they ensure exceptional service for their clients, building trust and fostering a sense of community. Bubble Cleaning is proud to be a local, family-run business dedicated to making Mangawhai a cleaner, more vibrant place to live and work.
