What is Our Local Cleaner™ About?
What is Our Local Cleaner™? Our Local Cleaner™ is a web project aimed at helping homeowners and families to find top-rated independent, locally-built, and locally-owned carpet cleaning businesses in their area, and to avoid the not-so-great businesses. Our Local Cleaner™ strives to maintain high standards by promoting only those businesses with a commitment to high levels of customer service, and cleaners that only use advanced and modern equipment, and cleaners that are striving to remain at the top of their game in the industry — to earn your long-term trust. How did it start? Our Local Cleaner™ was started by two friends — Mike Murphy and Barbara Holden. Mike Murphy has been working with one of the top carpet cleaning industry leaders, Steve Marsh, for over 10 years. Their aim is to promote top-rated and dedicated carpet cleaning service providers throughout the world. Barbara Holden got the idea to create a website that promotes excellent carpet cleaners who are dedicated to their craft — and to share it with families and friends nationwide. Together, they share a dedication to quality and value — and they want to make Our Local Cleaner™ a place you can trust to find excellent carpet cleaners in your area. In 2018, Our Local Cleaner™ started with a single cleaner, and is growing every year, and expanding to cities across the United States.
35,000+ happy students joined with us to achieve their goals
