Meet Full Time Clean — The Story Behind the Sparkle
Learn how a Portland-based realtor built a professional cleaning company designed to help busy homeowners take back their time. Full Time Clean was created to deliver reliable, high-quality home cleaning services with the same attention to detail and care you'd expect from a trusted real estate expert.
Some people start a cleaning company because they love spotless countertops. I started Full Time Clean because I know what it's like to spin a dozen plates, try to stay on top of the mess, and still want your home to feel like a place of peace—not a to-do list.
As a full-time realtor, I’ve walked through hundreds of homes, helped families through the biggest financial decision of their lives, and seen just how deeply personal our spaces are. I’ve also seen the difference a truly clean home can make: it calms the nervous system, uplifts the energy of a space, and—if you’re selling—it can seriously boost your bottom line.
But more than that? I’ve lived it. I’ve been the working professional coming home to chaos, wishing I could just hit reset. I’ve watched my friends—doctors, teachers, single moms, entrepreneurs—burn out trying to do it all. And I realized something simple but game-changing: a clean home gives you time, energy, and sanity back.
So I started Full Time Clean with one goal in mind: to give people more of all three.
We’re a Portland-based, Black-owned, woman-owned company. We’re not a big, faceless franchise—and we never will be. We’re personal, punctual, and built on pride. You’ll notice the difference in how we treat your space, how easy it is to schedule a quote, and how we show up—because I’ve been the client, and I know what should be standard.
As a realtor, I understand:
The importance of presentation
The urgency of timelines
The need for clear communication
And above all, the sacredness of home
We carry that mindset into every clean—whether you need weekly upkeep, a seasonal refresh, or a deep clean that feels like a fresh start.

What to Expect From a Professional Cleaning Service(Hint: It’s Not Just a Mop and a Prayer)
Thinking of hiring a house cleaner in Portland but not sure what to expect? From clear communication and eco-friendly supplies to customized checklists and dependable pros, Full Time Clean sets a new standard for what professional cleaning should look like. Whether you're in Lake Oswego, Happy Valley, or NE Portland, here’s exactly what you should get from the best local cleaning service — and what to avoid.
Clean home. Clear mind. Fewer mysterious smells.
Full-Time Clean
Let’s be honest: letting someone into your home to clean is a little… intimate. You’re not just asking for help with chores—you’re trusting someone with your sanctuary. So what should you expect when you hire a professional cleaning service?
At Full Time Clean, we believe that exceptional service starts with clear expectations, great communication, and a little bit of sparkle (both literal and metaphorical). Whether it’s your first time hiring help or you’ve had cleaners before, here’s what it looks like when you hire a truly professional team.
A seamless onboarding experience sets the tone before we ever pick up a mop. We’ll ask the right questions: What areas matter most to you? What’s your ideal schedule? Do you have pets, delicate surfaces, or cleaning preferences? A great cleaning service should listen—and then tailor a plan just for you.
Bonus tip: With Full Time Clean, you can submit a quick intake form and even upload a video walk-through of your space. Easy peasy, lemon-squeezy.
Transparent pricing matters, too. You deserve to know exactly what you’re paying for. Professional cleaners don’t surprise you with mystery fees or vague “add-ons.” At Full Time Clean, we offer clear flat rates, hourly options, and bundle packages. Whether you want a seasonal refresh or regular maintenance, you’ll know what you’re getting—and what it’ll cost.
Your cleaners should be reliable, respectful, and ready to shine. We’re not saying we wear pearls, but you get the idea. We arrive on time, respect your space, and use professional-grade tools and supplies. We clean efficiently and thoroughly—without ever making you feel rushed, judged, or overwhelmed.
Got a question? Want to update your preferences? A professional cleaning company doesn’t vanish after the vacuum is put away. We believe in staying connected—whether that’s rescheduling a visit, getting feedback, or updating your services as your needs evolve. Consider us your cleaning concierge.
At the end of the day, this isn’t just about appearances. A clean home boosts your mood, productivity, and peace of mind. When the dishes are done and the dust bunnies are evicted, your space becomes something more: a retreat, a launch pad, a place you can truly breathe.
