NewJersey House Cleaner Accidentally BreaksIntoWrongHome, CleansUp
By Ben Hooper
July 14 (UPI) -- A New Jersey man who cleans homes to supple- ment his income shared the story of how he acci- dentally went to the wrong town- house -- and left it spotless.
Louis Angelino III, 27, of Barrington, said he works a regular job at a liquor store, but lately he has been cleaning homes for friends to make extra money.
Angelino, who detailed the
saga in a TikTok video, said he was due to clean a home for a friend named Mark in Cherry Hill, and he arrived to find the key in the expect-
ed place under the doormat.
He spent 2 1/2 hours cleaning the townhouse and was playing with the cats when Mark called toaskifhehad been able to clean his home.
"I said 'I'm literally in your living room right now playing with your
cats and waiting for you to walk in,' and he was like 'Louis, I don't have any cats,'" Angelino told NJ.com.
"In that moment, I froze. My heart dropped. I was just like, 'Where am I right now? What is going on?'"
Angelino said he
realized he had written down Mark's address incorrectly. He said the address was off by a sin- gle digit.
Mark arrived home and left a note for his neigh- bors explaining what happened. Beth Motzel said her husband, Tom, arrived home first and
called her.
"He said, 'You won't believe it. Someone broke in our house and cleaned the entire thing, he said Swiffer and all,'" Beth Motzel told WCBS-TV.
Motzel said she and her husband were amused by the mix-up.
"Tom and I laughed forever about it. He fixed it all up. I mean, details, he cleaned up after the cats, played with the cats, fed the cats and wiped everything spotless. He real- ly is a cleaning fairy," Beth Motzel said.
Angelino texted Motzel to apolo- gize for the mis- take, and Motzel said she will keep his number on hand for future cleaning needs.
She dubbed him the "Cleaning Fairy," a brand Angelino is now embracing for his cleaning busi- ness. He said he is crowdfunding to make T-shirts to promote his serv- ices.
