The Cleaning Authority
We provide residential house cleaning services similar to a maid service, with optional add-on services such as carpet cleaning, window cleaning, furniture cleaning, and other cleaning services. Our core customers are homeowners in designated territories, and we may also serve light commercial spaces and other small business locations with our consent. We operate as a local service business from an approved location, sending trained teams into customers’ homes and businesses to perform recurring or one-time cleaning. Our work follows a defined operating system with standards for customer service, equipment, supplies, and cleaning methods, including the use of approved environmentally conscious products and chemicals.
