Today we’d like to introduce you to Yazmin Lopez

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?

Here’s a draft for your story, Yazmin, based on the information I have:

The Story of Katharisma Cleaning: A Journey of Passion and Purpose
Hi, I’m Yazmin Lopez, the founder and CEO of Katharisma Cleaning. My journey into the cleaning business wasn’t something I planned—it was born out of personal struggles, growth, and a desire to help others.

Before starting Katharisma Cleaning in 2021, I spent 10 years working as a manager in the food industry. During that time, I honed skills in customer service, employee training, and safety. However, when I became a stay-at-home mom, I faced challenges that were entirely new to me. Balancing my home, taking care of my mental health, and supporting my family became overwhelming. It was during this time that I realized the transformative power of maintaining a clean, organized space—not just for the home, but for the mind as well.

I dedicated myself to learning everything I could about cleaning, organizing, and running a home efficiently. I started helping friends and family with their cleaning projects, and I quickly realized I wasn’t alone in this struggle. Many of the moms I met were also overwhelmed—whether due to illness, a lack of time, or the everyday challenges of motherhood. I wanted to help, and that’s when the idea for Katharisma Cleaning was born.

What began as a small way to support others has grown into a thriving business. At Katharisma Cleaning, we believe that a clean home is more than just a luxury—it’s a basic human right. It’s about creating a safe, healthy, and stress-free environment where families can thrive.

Today, my children love talking about “Mom’s business,” and it fills my heart with pride to know that what I do makes a difference in people’s lives. I’ve made it a priority to support my community, from partnering with local schools and charities to providing jobs and educational opportunities for my team. I also prioritize ongoing learning for myself and my team, ensuring we stay up-to-date on OSHA guidelines and the latest cleaning techniques.

The name “Katharisma” comes from the Greek word for “cleaning” or “cleansing.” I chose it because it represents renewal, and because it’s unique—just like the service we strive to provide.

This business has been a journey of transformation for me, and I hope to bring the same renewal to every client we serve. Whether you’re dealing with a busy schedule, a major life transition, or just need a little extra support, Katharisma Cleaning is here to help. Thank you for trusting us with your homes and your stories—it’s an honor to be part of your lives.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?

The Challenges of Being a Business Owner
Running Katharisma Cleaning has been rewarding, but it comes with its challenges. As a mom and business owner, balancing work and family is a constant juggling act. Managing a growing team while maintaining high-quality service requires continuous effort and attention. Keeping up with the financial and operational aspects of the business adds another layer of complexity.

Mental health has also been a challenge. Running a business can feel overwhelming at times, and I empathize deeply with clients who struggle to keep up with their homes. As a Latina business owner, I feel the weight of representing my community, but I use that as motivation to push forward and inspire others. Despite the obstacles, every challenge I overcome strengthens the foundation for my family, my team, and the clients I serve.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?

Katharisma Cleaning is a local cleaning business dedicated to creating fresh, organized, and stress-free spaces for families and businesses. We specialize in residential and office cleaning, including move-in/move-out and post-construction cleanings. What sets us apart is our attention to detail and our commitment to treating every client’s space as if it were our own. We know that a clean environment is more than just a nice-to-have—it’s essential for well-being and peace of mind.

Our brand is built on trust, reliability, and a personal touch. We take pride in listening to our clients’ unique needs and delivering services that exceed expectations. I’m most proud of how Katharisma Cleaning has become a trusted name in the community, and how we’ve built long-lasting relationships with our clients.

Beyond cleaning, we’re passionate about supporting the local community. From partnering with schools and nonprofits to continually educating our team on best practices, we’re committed to making a positive impact in every way we can. At Katharisma Cleaning, we don’t just clean homes—we help create healthier, happier environments for families and businesses to thrive.

We’re always looking for the lessons that can be learned in any situation, including tragic ones like the Covid-19 crisis. Are there any lessons you’ve learned that you can share?

The COVID-19 crisis taught me the importance of creating safe, clean environments and how vital professional cleaning services are for health and well-being. It also reinforced the need to adapt quickly, implement stricter sanitation protocols, and prioritize the trust and safety of our clients and team. This experience shaped Katharisma Cleaning into a service that goes beyond cleaning—we provide peace of mind.
