About Us
Tom, Derek, and Liz have been central business leaders in the Residential Cleaning Industry for more than 2 decades. With over 50 years of combined experience CBB has a deeper, wider, and more enduring track record than any other cleaning consulting organization.
Today we choose to work only with business owners and other Industry Leaders who share in our relentless pursuit to elevate and improve the Residential Cleaning Industry as a whole.
We exist to be guides for those who choose better.
For those who want to do better, give more, and be better.
For those who are willing to learn more, grow more, invest more and go for more… to do what others won’t, and to reap the rewards that others don’t.
We exist to be guides for those who seek to become all they can with all they have been given and to do it themselves, in their own way.
For those choosing a better life, not just for their customers, but for their employees, themselves, and their entire families.
We exist for you – if you choose Better.
