Mrs. Grout began as a small service with a big mission. Founder Lisa Council wanted to bring quality, dependable grout cleaning to Central Florida. But she also wanted to use her business to make an impact on the community that had supported her for years.
Lisa is always looking for opportunities to make someone’s day a little bit brighter. She is actively involved in local chapters of BNI, the Chamber of Commerce, and The Hub Charities. Through these organizations, she is able to network with people and businesses who are working to make a difference. The team at Mrs. Grout uses their unique skills and free time to bring a sparkle to the lives of their Central Florida neighbors.
Lisa and her team are more than just grout cleaning specialists. They are also active members of their community. Lisa has a particular passion for building up and supporting women. She loves the arts, too, so you’ll often find her volunteering at the Hernando Beach Front Porch Art Walk. And as a huge animal lover, she makes sure the crew’s skills reach four-legged neighbors as well. She and her team also do what they can for children, the elderly, local heroes, and entire neighborhood communities.
As she was getting Mrs. Grout up and running, Lisa assumed she would need young men to do the heavy lifting. She quickly discovered that when she gave women a chance at the job, productivity skyrocketed! (As did customer satisfaction.) When it came to grout and tile cleaning and sealing, women took meticulous care to give each customer a flawless finish.
Each employee of Mrs. Grout goes through extensive training. That way, they can support themselves and their families no matter where life takes them.
But Lisa knows that it takes more than a handy skill for people to succeed. When someone on the Mrs. Grout crew is struggling, they band together to lend a helping hand. That could mean offering an extra shift to help make ends meet – or it could mean buying someone a car. The Mrs. Grout family lives out the proverb “A rising tide raises all ships.”
Lisa and the Mrs. Grout crew look forward to hosting a booth at the various community festivals in the area. They love to come out, talk with the community, and have fun. Look for them at festivals like…
You’ll see them volunteering with turkey giveaways in November. They also participate in the Achieve & Believe annual scholarship fundraiser in February. Lisa helps the ladies get decked out and have fun for a good cause.
They are always looking for ways to bring a smile to people’s faces — either with sparkling floors or an unexpected gift. When it’s time to make a difference in the homes of Central Florida, you can count on Mrs. Grout.
