Local College Student Launches "Cleopatra" App to Make Cleaning Easy for Mercer County Residents
The Californer/10329856

PRINCETON, N.J. - Californer -- While most 20-year-olds are juggling classes, part-time jobs and caffeine fixes, one Mercer County college student is tackling something a little bigger — your dirty dishes and dusty floors.

Meet Alexander Varughese, the creator of Cleopatra, a new cleaning app designed to make booking a trusted cleaner as easy as ordering takeout.

"I noticed how stressful it was for people, especially busy families and professionals, to find someone reliable," said Varughese. "It shouldn't take ten calls and three quotes just to get your house cleaned. So I built an app that does all that for you."

Cleopatra cuts out the back-and-forth and hidden fees that often come with traditional cleaning services. Users can book in minutes, get matched with a background-checked, vetted cleaner and pay securely, all in one app.

Here's how it works:
1. Tell the app about your space and cleaning needs.
2. Cleopatra matches you with a top-rated local cleaner (a "CleoCrew" member).

3. Sit back, relax and let your space shine.

Every CleoCrew member is vetted through background checks and AI-powered quality reviews to ensure consistent results. The app also offers recurring cleanings, reminders and personalized matching based on user feedback, so every clean feels tailor-made.

"Let's be honest, half of us clean like we study…right before someone shows up," Varughese joked. "So I figured, what if booking a cleaner was as easy as ordering DoorDash? No calls, no ghosting, no mystery prices, just clean floors and peace of mind."

Currently available across Mercer County, including Princeton, Hamilton, Lawrenceville and West Windsor, Cleopatra delivers quick booking, upfront pricing and verified local cleaners ready to make your space shine.

📱 Cleopatra: From mess to majesty — one clean at a time. Or as Varughese likes to say with a grin: "She came. She saw. She sanitized."

Now available on iOS and Android.
