Building Our Family Cleaning Business Together

engelmanncleaner · August 23

Hi everyone! I’m Vitoria, and I’m part of Engelmann Cleaner Services, a family-owned cleaning business that my mom, Lessandra, and I built together.

We started with a bucket, a broom, and a dream. What began as a small cleaning business has become something much more meaningful to us. We work side by side, learning, growing, and building something of our own while helping families feel more comfortable and at peace in their homes.

Thumbtack has also been an important part of our journey. Through the platform, we’ve been able to connect with new clients, find opportunities to grow our business, and meet people who have trusted us to take care of their homes.

For us, cleaning is about more than just making a house look clean. It’s about the little details, the care we put into our work, and the feeling of coming home to a fresh and peaceful space.

I’m excited to be part of the Thumbtack Community and connect with other pros who are also building their businesses.

What’s one thing you’ve learned along the way that has helped your cleaning business grow?

Welcome to the Community, @engelmanncleaner ! 👋 “A bucket, a broom, and a dream” is such a great line, and building the business alongside your mom makes the story even more special.

One thing we consistently hear from Top Pros is how important consistency and communication are, especially for cleaning businesses. Showing up reliably, keeping customers informed, and delivering a great experience can help turn that first clean into a recurring relationship. Asking happy customers for reviews after a job is another great habit to build early.

Inviting our fellow cleaning pros to jump in and share what they’ve learned along the way too! 🧹✨
