Whether you are staying in a hotel, motel or condo, it's nice to know someone cares enough to make sure your accommodations are clean, but that is not an easy job. In tonight's segment of Nicole Wants to Know we follow one woman on her quest for cleanliness.

When it comes to sleeping in a hotel bed for the night--the first thing that comes to mind before I tuck myself in is, "Is this comforter clean?" Well, I caught up with one woman who makes sure you're room and comforter are so fresh and so clean.

"My name is Peggy Sue Oliver, I am the owner of Southern Hospitality. I clean condo's, commercial properties and private homes. It's all different types of homes from double wide mobile homes, modular homes, to a seven-bedroom, seven-bath house. We just go in, we clean bathrooms, we clean the kitchen, living room, the whole house."

Oliver's quest for cleanliness began when she was just 16 years old. She credits ADHD, also known as, Attention Deficit Hyper Disorder, for her drive for perfection. "I used to work in a medical office and it was really hard for me to stay put...I left the 9-5 and began working for myself."

"In the summertime it gets kind of crazy because there is 16 or 22 weeks that I don't have a day off," said Oliver. "I have a magic eraser for the kitchen, one for the bathroom, and I use one for the floors."

"I always make it look very welcoming for the guest to come in. We take everything away from the walls in the room, we clean the walls, the baseboards, the furniture, all the way behind it, underneath it, make sure there is no cobwebs, dust, we take the beds apart and wash all of the bedding; mattress pads, comforters, pillow protectors. We wash everything that we can, and then we come back in and put it back together, and it's like having a brand new unit"

"Southern Hospitality is what I believe in, I believe in honesty and integrity and if I'm going to clean your house, I'm going to clean it and I'm going to give it my all."

"When I step back and before I walk out the door and it sparkles, I know that the people walking in are going to be like...she did a great job.."
