What began as a solo house cleaning operation under the business name Sparkle and Shine Cleaning Services in 2018 has since grown into a professional house cleaning service known as Sparkle Squad Cleaning Services LLC, as of January 2020. We have experienced hyper-growth since the onset of our venture and are proud to serve many clients in the Tulsa Metro from Talala to Sapulpa, Inola to Skiatook, and everywhere in between. With the rebranding of our company, we have plans to expand our services and increase our clientele.
This is Our Story
Deborah Woodard is a native Oklahoman raised in the town of Claremore. One might say she's always had that entrepreneurial spirit with a creative touch. A graduate of Claremore Sequoyah High School, Deborah went on to attend a couple of Vo-Tech Schools, followed by a stint at Rogers State College and St. Gregory's University studying business. Deborah has always excelled in a leadership role in whatever she decided to do, and over the years, she started a few small businesses to see what would fit her best.
Eventually, with her business background, she became an asset to larger companies with her skills in human resources, payroll, and benefits. For a few years, the corporate world was where she excelled. She was getting hands-on experience that would serve her well in several areas.
In 2003, Deborah moved to Owasso and soon after fell in love and married James Woodard, who has a successful business in the oil industry. As with many people, Deborah found life took her down a road she wasn't expecting. James and Deborah's blended family, known as "The Woodard Bunch," has proven to be a blessing over the years. James brought into the mix his son, Chad, and daughter, Brittnee, while Deborah added her two sons, Talen and Blake, and her devoted daughter, Shelbi. Later, they adopted their daughter, Jordan. The old saying "time flies" has certainly become a reality in James and Deborah's life. She says, "The children are grown and have families of their own, which caused 'The Woodard Bunch' to include 14 grandchildren. The holidays are crazy around our house."
Her corporate world venture ended when the company she was working for changed ownership. Some would wring their hands in disgust and disappointment, but not Deborah. She explains, "I knew something better was coming on the horizon. I didn't know what it would entail, but I was convinced it would arrive at the appropriate time." Deborah credits some of her positive thinking to one of her mentors – Author Victoria Lee, who she says has always inspired her to reach her full potential – to not just think about it, but to make it happen.
One day, out of the blue, Deborah received a phone call from a dear friend, Summer Keylon. Summer needed someone to clean her house once a week and wondered if Deborah and her daughter, Shelbi, would be interested. At first, Deborah and Shelbi considered it a way to make some fun money for crafting and woodworking – one of their other creative talents. It wasn't long before the word got out, and other people started lining up to get their houses cleaned. It was then that Sparkle and Shine Cleaning Service became a real business. Deborah and Shelbi started researching and developing their business plans and ideas. With a few cleaning products they pulled from under the kitchen sink, Deborah's new vacuum she brought from home, and $60 of supplies purchased from Lowes, they were off to the races! They are proud to offer "A Clean Like You Have Never Seen!" Since then, their business has steadily grown every month. In fact, Deborah thinks Sparkle Squad must be the fastest-growing residential cleaning service in Green Country.
Deborah gives much credit to the success of their business to her daughter. Deborah says, "Shelbi has been by my side from the very first idea, and since then, we have worked many long, hard hours together." As they realized things had quickly outgrown what the two of them could handle by themselves, they called on Deborah's daughter-in-love, Kindle Moulds. Kindle was happy to roll up her sleeves and jump right in, and since then has been a huge asset to the Sparkle Squad. Being a family-owned and -operated company is a blessing to them, and they always say, "teamwork makes the dream work." Deborah shares, "Without our Heavenly Father, none of this would be possible. We give all the glory to God for blessing us with a thriving business and guiding us along the way. Our strong faith is what gets us through the challenges and hard days."
Deborah and the girls love their clients and treat them like family. "If anyone in the Tulsa Metro Area needs a group of energetic, hard-working ladies to turn your house into a sparkling home, feel free to give us a call!"
