In 1991 two entrepreneurs, Shane Jones and Jeffrey Marquie, founded Cleaning Concepts, Inc, recognizing a strong need in the St Louis community. Although no one had time to clean their homes, there was such a high level of dissatisfaction among the national maid service franchises that many were resorting to hiring people out of the newspaper to clean their homes. Customers were unhappy and some franchises had an employee turnover of as much as 2000%!  In fact, one well-known national franchise was hiring employees on the spot and paying them in cash at the end of the day.

The region lacked an organization applying strict quality standards, selective hiring techniques and intensive training. Cleaning Concepts revolutionized the industry by being the first to offer health, dental and life insurance to our employees. While others were hiring part time employees, students or just warm bodies to fill a uniform, our Company sought out those looking for more than just a little extra spending money.  And we rewarded our staff with Company cars, vacations, sick days, retirement plans and a living wage. We were quick to realize that a Company is only as good as the employees on the front line dealing with customers.  If our employees aren’t happy, our clients won’t be happy either. 

This commitment took Cleaning Concepts from a shoestring startup with two employees to a local success story. Over the last 17 years, we have become not only the largest maid service in the St. Louis area, but a multi million dollar organization recognized nationally.   But we never lost sight of what was responsible for our success.

And today, we still attract the highest caliber of individuals to join our company.  In fact, we enjoy a customer satisfaction rate of over 97%!!  Find out why we were voted St. Louis’ #1 maid service.  We invite you read to read the testimonials from our customers—and experience the difference for yourself.
