About CleanTech Systems

Commercial cleaning should be easier to understand.

For many organizations, commercial cleaning is one of the least transparent services they purchase.

A monthly price alone does not explain what drives cost, what level of service should reasonably be expected, or whether the current program is delivering appropriate value.

CleanTech Systems was built around a different idea: make commercial cleaning more measurable, transparent, and accountable.

We combine commercial cleaning operating experience with technology and structured benchmarking to help organizations understand their facilities before making decisions about service and price.

Experience, made measurable.

Every building has a cleaning requirement.

Cleanable area matters. So do flooring, restrooms, kitchens and break rooms, building layout, occupancy and activity, service frequency, and the standards expected from the cleaning program.

Our approach considers those characteristics together rather than reducing a building to a single price per square foot.

CORE™ — Commercial Operations Reference Engine

Better information before the proposal.

CORE is CleanTech Systems' reference and decision-support technology.

It translates building characteristics, service frequency, and operational requirements into practical reference intelligence designed to help people understand expected cleaning investment and compare alternatives.

CORE supports human judgment; it does not make the decision. Benchmarks are models, not binding quotes. Final service requirements, scope, and pricing are established after a virtual or in-person walkthrough and review of building-specific conditions.

A building benchmark can help you

  • 01Understand the characteristics influencing cleaning requirements.
  • 02Compare the economics of different service frequencies.
  • 03Establish a preliminary benchmark before requesting proposals.
  • 04Compare an existing cleaning contract with the building benchmark.
  • 05Consider price and service experience together when evaluating contract value.

Price is only part of value.

A lower cleaning price can represent efficiency. It can also reflect differences in staffing, service frequency, supervision, quality control, responsiveness, scope, or risk protection.

A higher price does not automatically mean better service, either.

Our approach helps facility leaders evaluate price position and service experience together and ask better questions before making a decision.

Start with understanding your building.

Whether you are evaluating commercial cleaning for the first time or already have a provider, you can begin with a building benchmark before speaking with anyone.
