Berlin has had a special cleaning service since 2020. It is called 'Queer Cleaning Service'. Founder Marius Baumgärtel built this company.

Today around 70 permanent employees work there. This is impressive for a young company. The business continues to grow.

But what makes this service special? The 'Queer Cleaning Service' is more than ordinary cleaning. The company relies on queer values and solidarity. Employees are treated fairly and respected.

Many customers deliberately choose this service. They want to support a company employing queer people. Others appreciate the open and respectful atmosphere.

Marius Baumgärtel explains what makes his company different. It is not just about cleaning. It is about values and attitude. Discrimination has no place in his business.

Queer people often face difficulties on the job market. They sometimes experience discrimination at work. The 'Queer Cleaning Service' offers them a safe workplace.

The company shows this: business and queer values fit well together. Success and taking a stand are possible simultaneously. The Berlin model could work in other cities too.

The story of the 'Queer Cleaning Service' is a success story. It shows queer businesses can be strong and successful. Berlin is proud of this special project.
