A Clear Standard for Professional Cleaning
Professional cleaning is skilled, demanding work, and the businesses that do it well deserve to be recognized for the structure and care behind their service.
The Cleaning Compliance Association was created to support that professionalism by providing a clear, practical way for cleaning businesses and solo cleaning professionals to demonstrate how they operate with consistency, accountability, and pride in their work.

Why CCA Exists
Many cleaning businesses operate professionally, but until now there has been no clear way to distinguish businesses with documented business practices from informal operations.
The Cleaning Compliance Association (CCA) exists to bring clarity, structure, and consistency to professional cleaning by establishing and maintaining the Cleaning Compliance Standard™ (CCS), a defined framework for documented operational practices.
Raising the Standard for Professional Cleaning, Together
Becoming a CCA member is required before applying for certification. Membership provides access to certification materials, standards guidance, and updates as standards evolve. Some businesses participate as members without pursuing certification, using membership as a professional reference point rather than a formal credential.
