The Cleaning Corps is a woman-owned and family-operated total cleaning solutions company offering residential and commercial cleaning services. The Cleaning Corps is proud to be the first carpet cleaning company in the country to be recognized as a Certified B Corporation. By being dedicated to following the best practices for green cleaning, The Cleaning Corps performs services using environmentally-friendly products, adheres to EPA recommendations for industry standards, and practices only safe and legal waste-water disposal.
The decision to become a B Corporation was easy. Why? Because, we live here too. Our commitment to being socially and environmentally responsible is not a sales gimmick. Simply put, this is how business should be done.
Even The Cleaning Corps name was chosen to express the company’s motivation and mission. What is a Corps? A Corps: people acting together or associated under common direction, especially: a team having a common tie. The Cleaning Corps’ team ties its mission to its work for Clean Homes, a Clean Planet, and a Clean Conscience. Together with you, they are United in the Battle for Clean!
The Change We Seek®
The Cleaning Corps’ mission is to be the #1 choice in the community for a Clean Home, a Clean Planet, and a Clean Conscience.
To achieve their mission, The Cleaning Corps donates 10% of its profit to The Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay and helps advance the goal for clean water; promotes the use of earth-friendly cleaning products; provides free cleaning services to women battling cancer through the Cleaning For A Reason Foundation; and encourages partnerships with non-profit organizations and minority-owned businesses.
The Cleaning Corps is unique because of its passion to support the environment and improve communities. Each team member does their part to protect the environment and promote healthy communities by volunteering and contributing to charitable causes. These commitments truly set The Cleaning Corps apart from the competition.
