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 building receives a proposal. A monthly price appears on a spreadsheet. But it can be difficult to understand what actually drives that price, 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 better 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.
CleanTech evaluates those characteristics together rather than reducing a building to a single price per square foot.
The goal is not simply to answer
“What should cleaning cost?”
It is to help answer the more useful question
“What should this building require—and what should we expect from the company responsible for it?”
CleanTech IQ™
Better information before the proposal.
CleanTech IQ™ is our commercial cleaning intelligence and decision-support platform.
It translates building characteristics, service frequency, and operational requirements into practical benchmarks designed to help organizations understand the expected cleaning investment for their facility.
CleanTech IQ™ benchmarks are models—not binding quotes. Final service requirements, scope of work, 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.
That is why CleanTech believes commercial cleaning contracts should be evaluated across both price position and service experience.
Our approach is designed to help facility leaders ask better questions before making a decision—not simply choose the lowest number on a spreadsheet.

What professional service should feel like
The cleaning crew is only part of the service.
A professionally managed commercial cleaning program should provide more than scheduled cleaning.
Clients should know who is accountable when something goes wrong. Missed or incomplete work should be addressed promptly. Quality should be reviewed periodically. Staffing should be managed for continuity. Appropriate insurance and risk protections should be maintained.
Responsive Management
Access to management when service issues require attention.
Service Reliability
A program designed around consistent execution of the agreed scope and schedule.
Quality Oversight
Periodic quality-control reviews and direct management involvement.
Staffing & Accountability
Professional supervision and clear responsibility for service performance.
Risk Protection
Workers' compensation and commercial liability insurance appropriate for professional commercial facility services.
The purpose is straightforward: deliver a cleaning program that organizations can rely on, not simply a cleaning schedule.
Start with understanding your building.
Whether you are evaluating commercial cleaning for the first time or already have a provider, you can begin with CleanTech IQ™ before speaking with anyone.
Understand the cleaning requirement and preliminary investment for your facility.
Compare your current investment and service experience against your building benchmark.
No obligation. Final recommendations and pricing require review of building-specific requirements.
