This is certainly an aggressive marketing technique... 53-year-old Susan Warren broke into a homes just to clean them. She didn't steal a single thing. She just washed the coffee mugs, took out the trash, and vacuumed the carpet. She's now been dubbed the "Cleaning Fairy".
Susan would break in, do a full cleaning service, and then leave a handwritten bill on a napkin with her phone number, demanding $75.
One homeowner said she just "acted like it was normal" when he called her. She told police she was just trying to market her business and was "randomly picking houses" to demonstrate her skills.
One home owner had a 19-year-old daughter at the home sleeping at the time. The daughter said she heard Warren, but assumed her mother had hired a cleaner.
The marketing strategy backfired. She was arrested for burglary. The judge gave her probation, and banned her from cleaning anyone’s house but her own.
