The story
Why Citrus & Sage Exists
I'll be honest: I know what it's like to be completely underwater. I started Citrus & Sage in the middle of raising three kids, all four and under, when the cooking, the errands, the school runs, and the cleaning that never got done all landed on the same day. I get it.
So I built the company I wish I'd had back then. Let me take one thing off your list and hand you back a couple of hours that are actually yours. Spend them with your kids. Call a friend. Read a few pages, or just sit for a minute. Then come home to a clean house and feel your shoulders drop.
No judgment, no sales pitch. We show up, we handle it, and we leave you room to breathe. Let me help you get a little of your time back.
With care, Nicole Serrano Founder, Citrus & Sage
Life Is a Lot. We Make Room to Breathe.
Home should be where you recover, not another source of stress. We exist to lift that weight quietly, consistently, and without judgment, so you can spend your energy on the people and things that matter most. Every clean is a small act of care, a reset that says: you deserve to come home to peace.
The team
The people who show up at your door
We've grown to a team of more than a dozen, working in small teams of three, each with a dedicated team lead. Why threes? The work goes faster, nobody's ever alone in your home, and a lead oversees every detail before we head out.
Everyone is background-checked, fully insured, and a real W-2 employee trained to Citrus & Sage standards. We never outsource nor use contractors. We keep the same crew on your home whenever the schedule allows, because people who know your space catch what a stranger walks past.
What we stand for
The things we don’t compromise on.
Consistency You Can Count On
A team that gets to know your home, including your preferences, your standards, and the spots that matter most to you. That familiarity is the whole point: people who already know your home keep the quality steady and notice what a stranger would walk past. And the visit you schedule is the visit you get. We don't cancel the reset you were counting on.
Locally Owned & Operated
We live and work in the Topeka and Lawrence communities we serve, and we partner with fellow local businesses wherever we can. When you call, you get a real person who knows your neighborhood.
Fully Insured & Accountable
We're fully insured. On the rare chance something is damaged, you're covered, never left holding the bill. The people in your home answer to each other and to a local owner who stands behind every clean. If something isn't right, we make it right.
Thoughtful, Eco-Conscious Care
We use high-quality, non-toxic products that are safe for your family and pets. And it's the little details (the products we choose, the extra few minutes on something you never asked us to touch) that show how much we care. We don't make a fuss about them. We just do them.
Proof, not promises
What clients tell us after.
Walking into my home and feeling how clean it was immediately was a huge relief. I am having health issues related to my pregnancy and this is a HUGE life saver for me.
“I felt a heavy weight lift off my shoulders… mom seemed a lot less tired and more at peace.”
“When she said top to bottom cleaning she meant it. They cleaned everything from the floor to the fans, including things I've not seen cleaned by most companies.”
“The best feeling is walking into a freshly clean home after Citrus and Sage have worked their magic!”
Our Happiness Guarantee
We seek feedback after every visit. If you’re not 100% thrilled after any clean, we’ll make it right.
Before the team leaves, the lead walks the whole clean. If anything still isn’t right, just let us know and we come back. No hoops, no awkward conversations.
