I have had A Clean Slate do house cleaning for 3+ years. Jon is conscientious and always willing to make any changes requested of him. Our house looks great as he completes the cleaning! This is a good business that I wholly recommend to people looking for house cleaning!

We have worked with A Clean Slate for about 6 years now, they have always been reliable and responsive. I appreciate the help, and they do an excellent job.

John (the owner) is easy to work with. Very responsive. His crew members always do an excellent job cleaning my home. And the pricing is affordable. Really could not ask for a better experience than I've had with A Clean Slate. I highly recommend them!

Requested cleaning services from A Clean Slate as I was moving out of my apartment. They cleaned while I was at work and did a fantastic job. Highly recommended.

Sierra did a good job for the first time. It always takes awhile for someone to get acclimated to the house and know what the owners expect. Hopefully as she gets to know us and any of the housecleaning "quirks" we might have, she will feel more and more comfortable.

We’ve tried several different cleaning services and individual cleaning ladies and a clean slate is our favorite. John is very accommodating and professional. They do a great job cleaning the house and their prices are very reasonable. I’d recommend them to anyone.

This company has been great to work with. they are very professional & courteous. They customized our cleaning to our needs & budget. They also leave a fresh bouquet of flowers which is such a great bonus - my wife loves that! We love coming home on a day when A Clean Slate has been to our house!

We started using A Clean Slate this year and have loved their service! They are very easy to communicate with and flexible in setting up cleaning times. They even send you a text message reminder of your appointment. We've had cleaners in the past and A Clean Slate definitely does a better job and is more detail oriented than others. We absolutely love the fresh flowers they have started leaving after every cleaning. Really adds a unique and thoughtful touch!

I have been a client of A Clean Slate for the last couple years. After interviewing several cleaning services, we ultimately went with A Clean Slate for several reasons: 1) They were very personable. 2) They had extraordinary flexibility for what we wanted to have cleaned (and not cleaned). 3) They did not require an expensive “deep clean” during their first visit. 4) The pricing and scheduling options were very reasonable. As a client, we have been very happy with the services A Clean Slate has provided. Some areas where they excel: 1) Easy to communicate with if there is a need to reschedule or make minor modifications to what areas need cleaned. 2) Receptive to cleaning concerns and they have adjusted accordingly. 3) They avoid lemon scented products at our house because they remind my spouse of being ill as a child. :)
