Richard Porter: At Cambridge Clean Co., we’re more than just a cleaning company — we’re your neighbors.

At cambridgecleanco.com, you get an instant quote with fully transparent pricing — no surprises, no waiting. And you can book and schedule your cleanings online in seconds, anytime it’s convenient for you. Need to speak with a real human? We answer the phone. Seriously — just call us.

Patch: What’s the most satisfying part of your job?
Richard Porter: Imagine opening your front door and being greeted by the fresh, crisp scent of a spotless home — like the first breeze of spring after a long winter. As you step inside, everything is in its place. The floors shine. The counters sparkle. The chaos of the day fades, replaced by calm. That lingering to-do on your list? Already done. That feeling — of relief, of ease, of finally catching your breath — is what we love delivering to our neighbors across Cambridge, Boston, and surrounding Massachusetts towns. We’re proudly local, and we care deeply about helping our community enjoy homes that feel clean, organized, and truly lived in — not stressed in. At Cambridge Clean Co., we don’t just clean homes. We create peace of mind, one visit at a time.
