Our story

Built to last, and to take care of people.

We are a commercial cleaning company with over 50 years of cleaning expertise and knowledge. Founding this company in the Metro Detroit area in 1973, Charles Povlitz sought to build something lasting that could take care of his family. As the company grew, he began to realize that such a company could take care of others and their families, as well.

This spirit of stewardship and fairness has governed our company through several generations of leadership, and continues to inform how we do business. We look to take care of our employees, as well as our customers, firmly believing that business can be beneficial for all involved.

Our people

The same people, every visit.

Most complaints about a cleaning company are really complaints about turnover — a different stranger in the building every week, none of whom know your floor plan or your rules.

  • Low turnover, by design.We staff a building with a crew that stays on it. They learn your space once and keep it.
  • Uniformed, badged, background-checked.You can tell at a glance who belongs in your building after hours.
  • Trained on your scope, not a generic one.The 5 + 10 system is the baseline; your building's specifics get written on top of it.
