Mahi and Daisy bring smiles to Room 6 students at Fordell School

Palmerston North franchise owners Mahi and Daisy surprise the winners of the Cleanest Classroom competition at Fordell School with a pizza lunch.

Mahi Metuamate and Daisy Ross have only been cleaning Fordell School in Palmerston North for one term, but they’ve already become familiar faces to the staff and students.

From day one, Mahi and Daisy launched the Cleanest Classroom Competition as a fun and motivating way to get students involved in keeping their learning spaces neat and tidy. At the end of each term, the winning class is treated to a well-earned pizza lunch. Not only has it made a big difference to how the classrooms look, but it’s also helped the students connect with the people behind the scenes who help keep their school clean.

“You can definitely tell that their classrooms are a lot cleaner. The children are obviously keen to get their pizza reward,” says Daisy.

Room 6 recently took out the title of ‘cleanest classroom’ and Mahi and Daisy personally delivered the prize. The school made a video to capture the student’s excited reactions as the cleaning team surprised them with a pizza lunch.

“They were so happy. They all said thank you and were very grateful,” says Daisy.

Mahi and Daisy love taking the time to build genuine connections with their customers, many who have become good friends. It didn’t take long for them to feel right at home at Fordell School. They’ve been invited to staff get-togethers and even surprised with chocolates and gifts on Valentine’s Day.

“They’re all really lovely at the school. They’ve been so welcoming,” says Daisy.

Mahi has been a CrestClean franchise owner for three years, and Daisy joined her team last year. Inspired by her aunty who was also part of the CrestClean family, Mahi was drawn to the opportunity to run her own business, and it’s something she’s extremely proud of.

“It’s really improved my life both personally and financially,” says Mahi.

“I get to meet a lot of people, which is amazing, and it’s opened up a lot of opportunities for me. I’m really appreciative of CrestClean.”
