［6］ Everyone loves a good house party, but the cleaning- up the next morning isn’ t as enjoyable. Now, however, a New Zealand- based startup company aims to bring messy homes-- and even splitting headaches-back to normal. The properly-named startup “Morning- After Maid”, was launched about a month ago in Auckland by roommates Rebecca Foley and Catherine Arthurs. Aside from cleaning-up, the two will also cook breakfast, and even get coffee and painkillers for recovering merrymakers. Although they are both gainfully employed, they fit cleaning jobs into their nights and weekends, which is when their service is in most demand any way. Besides being flooded with requests from across the country, Foley and Arthurs have also received the requests from the U.S. and Canada to provide services there. ［7］ They are reportedly meeting with lawyers to see how best to take the business forward.
