About the hive
Built one house at a time.
Cleaning Bees started the way most good local businesses do: one person, doing the work better than anyone expected. Angelika Quinn still runs it that way.
The story
From one cleaner to the hive.
More than twenty years ago, Angelika Quinn started cleaning homes around Pinckney by herself. Word got around the way it does in Livingston County: neighbor to neighbor, one spotless kitchen at a time.
In 2003 she incorporated Cleaning Bee's, Inc. and started building crews. The idea was simple. Put four trained cleaners in a house with one written checklist, and you get the care of an owner-operator with the speed of a team.
That model is still the whole company. Same crews, same days, same 22 steps, and a lead who checks the list before anyone leaves your driveway.

Four non-negotiables.
-
Owner-operated
The person whose name is on the business still answers for every house. No franchise office, no call center.
-
Same crew, same day
Recurring clients get a regular crew and weekday. People who know your home do a better job in it.
-
Healthier products
Environmentally preferred products and professional-grade equipment, chosen for indoor air as much as shine.
-
Checked, not hoped
A lead inspection against the checklist before every crew leaves. If it’s on the list, it got done.
