From Host to Cleaning Business: Why I Started The Clean Collective

A Bathroom That is Spotless and Thoughtfully Prepared

When I first became a vacation rental host, I never imagined it would lead me here - founding a luxury cleaning company. But like many hosts, I learned early on that one of the biggest challenges wasn't design, marketing, or pricing. It was finding a cleaning team I could trust, especially because I was hosting remotely.

I needed a team I trusted not only to show up. But to care. To clean like I would. To notice the things guests notice. To deliver the level of detail that hospitality demands.

That kind of service didn't exist in the markets I was hosting in - so I decided to build it.

From Hosting to Hustling

As a host, I quickly realized that turnovers weren't just about cleanliness. They were about presentation, consistency, and peace of mind. I needed a team that understood that wrinkled sheets and dusty baseboards weren't just annoying - they were review killers.

And when I couldn't find that team, I created one.

I started training staff the way I trained myself.

With a host's eye.

With a hospitality mindset.

With an obsession for the the little things - because they're never little to a guest.

Host-Owned, Hospitality-Driven

What started as a personal solution is growing into a trusted partner for vacation rental owners who value:

• Detailed, checklist-driven cleanings

• Styled turnovers that feel like a boutique hotel

• Seasonal refreshes and thoughtful extras

• Consistent communication and reliability

And the best part? Every team member we bring on is trained to clean with the same care and precision I expect in my own homes.

Why It Matters

I didn't start this company because I love cleaning - I started it because I love hospitality. I understand what it feels like to wait on a review, to stress about whether the towels were folded just right, or if the guest will notice the dust behind the nightstand.

You shouldn't have to worry about any of that.

That's why I started The Clean Collective - to make sure your property is not only spotless, but thoughtfully prepared for every guest who walks through the door.

Thank you for trusting us with your space.

Whether you're a new host or a seasoned pro, we're here to help you deliver a 5-star experience, one sparkling, stress-free turnover at a time.
