Our member in the New Orleans area, Clean Sweep, received a service call from the 1-800-SWEEPER call center about cleaning up after the implosion of the Grand Palace Hotel in New Orleans. The building, like many others, was damaged by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005 and never reopened. The story was covered by many worldwide news organizations due to its speed of demolition in just 10 seconds. View the video link below to watch the demolition. The value of this job for Clean Sweep was $7300!

Each section of the run adds a new explosion of color to your clean, painter’s palate until you cross the finish line into a final blitzkrieg of color.”
The race concept is playful and fun…but it also makes a huge mess…the type of mess that 1-800-SWEEPER network members can clean up in short order. We know our members do outstanding work, but nothing beats a testimonial from yet another satisfied customer.
