The Cleaning Authority is one of the best cleaning companies in Chicago, especially for post construction cleaning. Their team is detailed, professional, and knows exactly how to handle the level of cleanup needed after any renovation or build. Zahrah, the owner, runs a very organized operation and truly cares…

I hired the Cleaning Authority after having a terrible experience with another popular company. Not only are they less expensive, but their work is ten times better! The people are friendly and professional. My home finally feels clean, and I wish I made the switch sooner. I can’t wait to have them back again next week!

I got estimates from many services to clean my house and Cleaning Authority was very detailed in their estimates which took some time, but gave me confidence that they knew what I wanted and really wanted to do a good job—which they did! I think they are very professionally run, and a good value.

At first they started out strong, then the service slowly dipped. I would complain and they would make an attempt to "make it right" but the overall there is zero consistency to the clean.
