My name is Derek Christian and I am one of the two owners of Cleaning Business Today. We noticed a bunch of visitors from this site so I came to see who was hear and found this great community. I own a residential and a commercial cleaning company in Cincinnati and my partner Tom Stewart owns a residential cleaning company in Charleston. The magazine does have a tilt towards residential cleaning because that is what we know but at the end of the day we really wanted a magazine for people that own a business that just happens to make money from cleaning. Our goal is 80% of the magazine should be good for anyone that runs a business. We would love to mix some things up by including some people from the pressure washing industry either with a business problem for our Deep Dive column or in our Profiles in Success column. Our goal was to create a publication we would want to read. We just released the May issue which is focused on marketing.

www.cleaningbusinesstoday.com I hope you like it and once again I would welcome some feedback from your industry. Another idea is a column on how to get into the business the right way. Cleaners are always looking into add on businesses and I know more than one person that went to Home Depot and bought a $250 pressure washer and added that service because it is easy right? Just like opening a maid service is easy..... I would love to show people how they are wrong and how to it the right way. You can contact me at
