About

Time to have a business... and a life.

The Cleaning Authority (TCA) was founded in 1989 and has been franchising since 1996. Our 200+ franchise owners service over 91,000 active customers and deliver 45,000 cleans per week.  We provide our owners the most innovative and sophisticated methods to acquire and retain customers in the residential cleaning business, and when you speak with them, that is what you'll hear.

Our owners implement an ambitious and effective customer acquisition program, which, through operational management and client satisfaction systems, drives their cash-based, residual income results. The Cleaning Authority’s business model combines simple business fundamentals with sophisticated technology and an unprecedented support infrastructure towards tremendous income potential.

We offer a rock solid, time tested, long term business model

• Residential cleaning is not a fad, it's a service every household needs and cannot be replaced by machines or technology.
• This is a Monday through Friday business, with few to no weekends or holidays.
• Our customers need our services and use them frequently.

We are not looking for cleaners, nor want you to clean

In addition to our reputation for industry excellence, we’re also known as a company that provides exceptional support for our franchise owners. When you open a franchise with us, you become part of an organization focused on maximizing revenues and continuing efficient and effective business practices. Your ownership experience will include unmatched training and support from day one. We are with you every step of the way. We provide all of our franchisees with business management software, robust marketing campaigns, call-center support, and business training.

You’ll Have a Clear Advantage over the Competition

The Cleaning Authority franchisees have performed nearly 21 million cleans, and have generated close to $2 billion in cleaning revenue. This not only makes us one of the largest residential home cleaning service companies in North America, it also makes us the per franchise revenue leader in the industry. Our franchisees take advantage of the industry by leveraging our sophisticated operational systems. Everything we do as a franchisor is designed to help franchisees maximize profit potential.

As a franchisee of The Cleaning Authority, you're in good company. Among our system, we have franchisees with a depth of previous experiences, including over 100 MBAs! While that's definitely not a requirement, it does speak to the strength of the opportunity as a franchisee of The Cleaning Authority.

Our Six Key Elements Give You an Edge:

• Prime, protected territories are available across the U.S. and are twice the size of the territories offered by most other brands.
• Training and support programs that teach you our proven operating system.
• National call center answers inbound calls while you are away from your office professionally and efficiently.

And finally, there's one more thing we give you; one that may be the most important of all--we give you time.

Time to be with your family. Time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Time to have a business... and a life. After all, what good is having a successful business if you don't have time to enjoy it?
