A Broom, Bucket, Book, and Boom!

In the early 1990s, Clean and Simple was born with a broom, a bucket, a mop, and Mary Johnson's book on starting a house cleaning service. Coming from a financial services and insurance background, I invested $5000 in a desktop DOS computer. BOOM, I was in business!

Keep It Simple

Our plan was straightforward: hire and train people to clean homes and make customers happy. As we grew, we realized the need for ongoing education to stay competitive. We joined the Washington State Housecleaners Association, a group of about 20 cleaning companies meeting regularly to discuss industry challenges and improve. Later, we joined ARCSI, under ISSA.com, gaining valuable credentials.

Keep It Competitive

Being part of a national association has helped us become a better employer and a more competitive company. We pride ourselves on understanding the science of cleaning, training staff, monitoring quality, and making customers happy for over 30 years. I'm driven to be the best, not the biggest. With a strong work ethic and commitment to education and training, we stay FIT to survive. As a 4X Ironman, I know the value of a solid plan to achieve success.

Keep It Sustainable

Having navigated several recessions, employed hundreds, and raised kids as a single parent, I've faced many challenges. Now happily remarried to my "iron mate" training partner, we thrive by keeping it simple. We train together in life, and our company cleans homes well and keeps customers happy.
