Six years ago, Loany packed her life into her car and drove across the country, leaving Minnesota behind with a plan to open a restaurant with her best friend in Beaverton. She didn’t have a solid roadmap—just big dreams and a trust in the adventure of starting fresh in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. “I didn’t know exactly how things would unfold,” she says. “But I knew I was ready for something new.” Within two months of arriving in Portland, she found her first cleaning client. A few more followed. And before she knew it, what began as a way to pay the bills started to feel like something bigger—a calling.

But the truth is, cleaning had been a part of Loany’s life long before Portland. Raised in a hardworking family with a local cleaning business, she learned early how powerful it can be to walk into a space and leave it better than you found it. “There’s something almost therapeutic about it,” she says. “I love the transformation—not just of the space, but of how people feel in their homes afterward. That’s where the real reward is.”

That human connection is the heartbeat of BrightSpaces Cleaners. Loany’s not just out to check a list or wipe down surfaces. Her mission is to give families something more meaningful: peace of mind, breathing room, and the joy of walking into a space that feels truly cared for. “We don’t just clean—we reset, refresh, and create calm,”

Over the years, Loany wore many hats. She even ran two successful food carts while continuing to grow her cleaning business—hustling between early-morning prep shifts and late-night cleans. That experience gave her a unique edge: she understands what it means to serve busy professionals, families, and business owners alike.

Today, BrightSpaces Cleaners offers more than just residential cleanings (though that’s still the heart of the business). They’ve expanded into commercial cleaning and post-construction clean-ups—making sure spaces are not just presentable, but polished and ready for life. Whether it’s a family home, an office suite, or a newly built home that needs finishing touches, Loany’s team approaches each job with the same care and detail.

Beyond the vacuum and mop, Loany brings warmth, intention, and heart to everything she does. When she’s not making spaces shine, she finds joy in the simple pleasures—cooking up comfort meals, diving into music, exploring Portland’s food scene, or recharging in nature. These moments ground her and fuel the purpose behind her work: to build something honest, human, and genuinely helpful.

“I want people to feel taken care of,” she says. “That’s what BrightSpaces is really about—giving people the gift of time, comfort, and a space that feels good to come home to.”

As she looks to the future, Loany’s excited to keep growing BrightSpaces Cleaners in a way that stays rooted in community. For families in Forest Heights and beyond, BrightSpaces Cleaners is a trusted helping hand—making everyday life a little easier, one clean home at a time.
