Own a Part of the Growing Cleaning Service Industry

For busy homeowners, finding the time and energy to keep a house clean can feel impossible. That’s where The Cleaning Authority (TCA) steps in. With a 45-year legacy and a reputation for reliability, TCA offers a high-demand, recurring-revenue business in the booming residential cleaning industry.

In a world where time is scarce and peace of mind is priceless, The Cleaning Authority fills a critical gap. Demand for residential cleaning has never been higher, and with strong brand awareness, smart technology, and proven operational systems, TCA is positioned for continued growth across both new and existing markets.

A Service Homeowners Trust for the Long Haul

One of the biggest differentiators for TCA is the relationship customers build with their cleaning teams. In many cases, the same employees service a home for years, creating a sense of trust and familiarity. “Our homeowners tell us that all the time,” said David Montanez, vice president of franchise development at Authority Brands. “They know the home, and treat the homeowners like family. People even try to stop cleaners from retiring”.

Smart Technology That Enhances Efficiency

Franchisees have access to tools that track employee locations, verify completed services and prompt follow-ups for tasks like deep oven cleans. These systems not only streamline daily operations but also elevate the customer experience through accuracy and transparency.

Marketing Done for You

Unlike many franchise models, The Cleaning Authority handles marketing at the corporate level. This allows owners to focus on building and retaining a reliable, well-trained team while new leads come in through managed digital and local campaigns.

Recurring Revenue With Scalable Systems

The Cleaning Authority’s model is built around recurring, scheduled cleanings, which is a structure that provides financial stability and long-term growth potential. With streamlined scheduling, operational support and real-time business dashboards, the model supports franchisees at every stage of their journey.

The Cleaning Authority doesn’t require any cleaning experience, just leadership skills and a willingness to invest in your team. Most new franchisees have professional backgrounds in business, management, or operations, and more than half have earned master’s degrees. “They get it because it’s a business,” Montanez said.

TCA owners are expected to be hands-on in the early stages, focusing on building a strong team culture and delivering outstanding service. Over time, as operations stabilize and reliable teams are in place, owners can step into a more strategic leadership role with greater flexibility. “If you can build the right culture with employees who feel respected and paid fairly, you can build long-term trust and culture,” Montanez said.

The initial investment starts under $150,000. That includes the cost of one branded vehicle, startup equipment and access to extensive training and ongoing support from Authority Brands, including a dedicated coaching infrastructure and Success Academy.

Franchisees are drawn to The Cleaning Authority’s clarity, support and staying power. It’s a business built on real demand and designed for long-term stability. With a full Item 19 in the Franchise Disclosure Document, candidates can assess performance benchmarks with confidence.

Perhaps most importantly, owners love the impact they make. TCA doesn’t just clean homes — it helps families reclaim their time. And in an industry where trust and consistency matter most, The Cleaning Authority stands out as a brand that customers and franchisees can count on.
