The A3D Difference:

From Homelessness to Hope

Why Our Values Matter in Cleaning

Most cleaning companies talk about checklists, price points, or which chemical products they use.

At A3D Services, our story starts somewhere different: with struggle, resilience, and a belief that values matter as much as results.

My (Deidre Lopez) journey from homelessness and hardship to building one of Arizona’s most reliable cleaning companies has shaped the way we serve our clients.

And it’s why we’ll never settle for “good enough.”

From Struggle to Sparkle

Seven years of personal struggle with alcoholism and nearly a year of homelessness could have broken me. Instead, it gave me clarity.

With support, faith, and grit, I rebuilt my life — and out of that journey, A3D Services was born.

That experience taught me lessons that now define our work:

  • Every detail matters. In life and in cleaning, small things left unchecked turn into big problems.

  • Consistency builds trust. Reliability isn’t optional — it’s survival.

  • Purpose fuels performance. When you clean with meaning, the results shine brighter.

When clients ask why A3D is different, the answer is simple: our company was built on survival, second chances, and the relentless pursuit of better.

Cleaning With Purpose

For us, cleaning isn’t just about shine — it’s about service.

When we clean:
✨ We treat each space as if it were our own.
✨ We protect people’s health with eco-friendly, fragrance-free products.
✨ We report maintenance issues because we care about more than the surface.

That’s what we mean when we say holistic cleaning. It’s not just mops and sprays. It’s about seeing the whole picture — the building, the people inside, and the small details that make a space feel safe, cared for, and functional.

Why Values Matter in Cleaning

In both luxury homes and commercial facilities, values show up in the results.

  • A provider that values reliability shows up consistently — no excuses, no missed shifts.

  • A provider that values holistic care uses products that are safe for families, tenants, and sensitive clients.

  • A provider that values proactivity notices a leaky faucet, flickering light, or low supply closet before it turns into a complaint.

Values aren’t just words — they’re habits. And those habits are what separate a vendor from a trusted partner.


Case Study: A Manager’s Relief

Not long ago, we were called into a mid-size commercial building in Phoenix. The property manager was exhausted from dealing with tenant complaints about streaky restrooms, overflowing trash bins, and constant supply shortages.

We stepped in with our proactive process. Within 60 days:
✔ Tenant complaints dropped by over 70%.
✔ Supply closets were fully stocked and logged weekly.
✔ Maintenance issues were reported before they became emergencies.

That property manager told us, “For the first time in years, I’m not worried about what’s waiting in my inbox Monday morning.”

That’s what happens when values show up in action.

Case Study: A Homeowner’s Relief

On the residential side, one Scottsdale homeowner shared:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“The first time A3D cleaned our home, I checked the soap dish — and there was no residue. That’s when I knew they cared about the details. They’re gentle on our wood furniture, baseboards, and never leave a chemical smell. We’ve kept them ever since. They’ve given us something priceless: time back in our lives.”

Luxury isn’t just marble countertops and chandeliers. Luxury is knowing your home is safe, cared for, and sparkling — without sacrificing health or peace of mind.

Industry Context: Why Values Outperform “Cheap Cleaning”

It’s tempting to think of cleaning as a commodity — but cutting corners on janitorial services often backfires.

📊 78% of tenant complaints are cleaning-related.
📊 Poor cleaning can accelerate asset wear-and-tear, costing thousands in repairs.
📊 Harsh chemicals leave behind residues that trigger allergies and damage surfaces.

The truth is simple: cheap cleaning costs more in the long run.
That’s why values-driven cleaning companies — ones that prioritize reliability, proactivity, and holistic care — consistently outperform.

When property managers and homeowners invest in a partner like A3D, they’re not just buying cleaning hours. They’re protecting their investments, reducing risk, and creating healthier spaces.

Our Vivid Vision for the Future

We’re building more than a cleaning company. Our vivid vision is clear:

  • To be Arizona’s most trusted holistic cleaning partner.

  • To bring Team Sparkle natural products into hundreds of homes and facilities across the state.

  • To set the standard for eco-friendly, fragrance-free cleaning in both residential and commercial spaces.

  • To create careers with purpose — giving team members pride, growth, and stability.

In three years, we see A3D as more than a name — we see it as a movement. A movement toward healthier homes, safer facilities, and service built on values.
