built in Chicago.
built to last.

how it started

We didn't set out to become a commercial cleaning company. We set out to do good work and treat people right. Turns out that's harder to find than it should be in this industry, and businesses started coming to us because of it. So we grew to meet them. Same standards, bigger spaces.

what we do now

We clean offices, retail spaces, commercial buildings, and facilities across Chicago. Our clients have called us the unicorns of the cleaning industry, and honestly, we think that just means we show up when we say we will, and we do the job right. We'd love for that to be the norm. For now, we'll just keep being the exception.

how we work with clients

We're not a call center operation. When you reach out, you talk to someone who actually knows your account. We take the time to understand your space before we ever send a proposal because a cleaning plan that doesn't fit your schedule or your building isn't worth much. We'd rather get it right from the start.

“I founded The Clean Junkie to fill a gap the industry kept ignoring: reliable, professional service that businesses could actually count on."
