The Cleaning Authority

Since our founding in the Baltimore-Washington metro area in 1977, The Cleaning Authority has been a leader in professional house cleaning. As one of the first whole-house cleaning services in the region, we quickly built a reputation for excellence, reliability, and high standards. With a vision for growth, Steve Robinson and Tim Evankovich purchased the company in 1989, expanding its reach and enhancing its services to meet the needs of even more clients. By 1996, The Cleaning Authority began franchising and now boasts over 225 locations across North America.

Our commitment to quality, customer satisfaction, and eco-friendly practices has made The Cleaning Authority a trusted name in home cleaning. This dedication to exceptional service attracted investment from PNC Riverarch Capital in 2014, allowing us to grow even further. In 2017, The Cleaning Authority became the flagship brand of Authority Brands, the nation’s leading home services franchisor. With over 25 years of experience, we are proud to provide reliable, thorough house cleaning services tailored to the needs of busy families and professionals.
