About us

We are fascinated with beginnings and endings. Sometimes you know the exact moment like the Starter’s Pistol of when something begins. And yet other times you start a conversation with someone new and end with a handshake and a friend not sure how that came to be. Ryan, Zaak, and Rich were very much like both scenarios, meeting each other in peculiar ways. Ryan recalls meeting Zaak in their pest control days together as an instant friendship. Zaak remembers moving down the street from Rich and having an instant connection. Rich reflects on meeting Ryan through a Craigslist deal that connected them right away.
But for all of them, relationships has been the starting pistol to the race they have been running when they started The Perfect Clean. They have a keen sense of trust in each other and know each other’s strengths. They respect each other beyond their own pride and always look for the greater good. Because with Ryan, Zaak, and Rich you aren’t just getting a brand, you are getting a piece of their integrity. You become a part of them because they truly want everyone to succeed.
So for the past 4 years, The Perfect Clean was created to fix the space in the home cleaning industry. The solution was Ryan’s philosophy, “Don’t tell them what you CAN’T do, tell them what you CAN do.” Zaak’s skill set of always leveraging technology and marketing to automate the customer experience for the highest level of satisfaction. And finally Rich has the gift of vision to understand the needs of a consumer and how a company can deliver them.
Now they are ready to share this proven model that evolved cleaning with you. So without any end in sight, and only the sound of a starter’s pistol to say, “Ready Set Go”
