Meet Wrigley & Stella
A very curious and friendly brother and sister duo. They welcomed us into their home with open paws & wagging tails.
Stella is a Pomsky and Wrigley is a Llewellin Setter. We loved meeting them and cleaning for their owners!
P.S. We were so happy to meet another sweet pup named Wrigley 🙂

“Excellent, professional service and results. We needed our carpet and couch cleaned before moving into our new home. It was a tight schedule and Distinctive was there to accommodate our needs. I liked that they had corner guards to protect woodwork and door frames from getting scratched. Alan and Audrey were polite and informative and had excellent follow-up to ensure our satisfaction!”
– Mr. & Mrs. Kora
Thank you for the kind words. It was a pleasure working for you!

“This year, it seems like we’re looking at screens almost 24/7.
I noticed my eyes began feeling dry and tired at the end of each work day and after hours of using Zoom, so I began researching Blue Light Filtering Glasses. ‘Is this a gimmick?’ I wondered. But I had read about the dangers of too much screen time, such as digital eye strain or other vision problems. Read more about that here.
According to a recent study by The Harvard Business Review, wearing blue light filtering glasses can help you sleep better, thus improving productivity during the day. Read the study here.
I’ve been wearing my blue light filtering glasses for about a month now and I’ve noticed a huge improvement. My eyes are much less fatigued at the end of a long day, which as improved my productivity.
Consider talking to your optometrist about what options are available to you.”
-Audrey
P.S. Also consider setting your mobile device to dark mode or night shift, which may also ease eye strain and help improve your sleep.
