Cleanbusters Ain't Afraid of No Dirt!
Business Profile by Liz Burnett
Cleanbusters is a bonded and insured, full-service residential and commercial cleaning service that has reliably served Delaware County for 35 years. Founder, Owner, and longtime Broomall resident Robin Cutler started the business in 1984. She had taught elementary school for two years, but felt ready to make a career change.
Robin Cutler, Owner of Cleanbusters
One day when Robin and her two young children visited her parents while their two “cleaning ladies” were there, she got inspired and announced she would start a housecleaning service. Her dad expressed his doubts that she’d be successful, but Robin, a “clean freak” since she was a kid, knew it was perfect timing to start a housecleaning service due to so many new full-time working mothers.
Who Ya Gonna Call?
When Robin’s kids saw her look of confidence and determination, they immediately encouraged her by excitedly insisting she name her new business Cleanbusters. They knew their mom was just as courageous and fearless as the guys who had recently thrilled them in that new movie about conquering scary ghosts that were trying to destroy New York City.
Perhaps Robin’s fearlessness developed from changing schools and friends every year until age 17 as her dad’s Air Force career moved their family all over the U.S. and Europe. She promptly proved she wasn’t afraid of anything, as she tirelessly marketed Cleanbusters and performed all cleaning services.
As her business quickly grew through referrals by many very satisfied clients, she learned how to hire and train “the right kind of people”: Reliable hard-workers who share Robin’s mission to provide every client with exceptional service. She then developed teams, and eventually trained her best people to be Team Leaders.
Collectively, Cleanbusters cleans about 500 homes every month. They also serve commercial clients that can accommodate daytime weekday cleaning. Robin has also served some “very interesting movie people” who were living in the Philly area for months at a time. She loves “doing something nice for people,” which explains why providing the personalized and thorough services Cleanbusters offers has been a perfect fit for her for almost four decades.
Cleanbusters offers two “packages” of cleaning services. Their teams bring the stamina, “elbow grease” and equipment; clients provide the cleaning products and paper towels.
Basic Cleaning
Basic cleaning is a regularly scheduled service that’s offered between 8am and 3pm Monday through Friday. A well-trained and efficient Cleanbusters team (three or four people) is in and out of your home in 60-90 minutes, after they “conquer” all the dust, dirt, grease, grime and trash, and make your home delightful again.
• In bathrooms, they clean and disinfect everything including the sink, toilet, shower, tub, tiles, mirrors and floor.
• In kitchens, they wipe down all appliances, and thoroughly clean the microwave and stovetop. They clean the table and chairs, and the outside of all cabinets and appliances. They also clean all countertops, and move and clean under and around all countertop items.
• In all rooms, they dust all furniture, clear cobwebs, remove window smudges, and empty wastebaskets. They also clean your carpeting and flooring using the appropriate products and methods for the type of flooring and level of cleaning you desire.
Heavy Cleaning
Heavy cleaning is recommended every Spring and Fall and when moving out or in. They “take everything apart, from ceiling to floor.” This includes washing all baseboards, ceiling fans, doors, window frames, moving and cleaning under and behind furniture, and more. This is the kind of TLC every home deserves!
Party-Hosting and Clean-Up Services
When Robin’s clients started asking her to recommend a local party-hosting business, she expanded her business further. For private parties, Cleanbusters provides teams, including Bartenders, who greet and take your guests’ coats, serve appetizers, beverages, buffet or sit-down dinners, and more. Their mission is to conquer the chaos and handle everything including clean up of your kitchen and all event areas. Your mission is simply to enjoy your guests, and later thank yourself for hiring Cleanbusters to make your gathering enjoyable for everyone, including yourself.
Cleanbusters’ cleaning and party-hosting services are a necessity for today’s busy families and professionals. Whenever you think, “Who can I call to help me manage this?!?” call Cleanbusters: They’ve proven without a doubt they can save the day… and your sanity!
