Inspiring Success Stories from Speed Cleaning Certified Businesses
We are thrilled to introduce our interview series, where we showcase inspiring journeys of business owners who use Speed Cleaning products and methodologies to transform their cleaning businesses. In this inaugural feature, we spotlight Matthew Papin, the owner of A Clean Design, a green cleaning company located in LaFargeville, Jefferson County, NY. A Clean Design is insured, PHC certified, and Speed Cleaning certified, standing out as a leader in providing eco-friendly, efficient cleaning services.
Join us as we delve into Matthew’s story and discover how Speed Cleaning has played a pivotal role in his journey.
How Matthew Began in the Cleaning Business
“I started in the cleaning industry at 14, working in warehouses and schools during the summer. Over the years, I worked for various cleaning companies, but one in particular, ‘A Clean Attitude,’ left a lasting impression. The owner, Ms. Rist, was incredibly hardworking, hands-on, and successful at growing her client base. She encouraged me to start my own company so we could subcontract together. In 2019, A Clean Design was born! Though Ms. Rist is no longer with us, I carry her spirit into every job by following her routines and maintaining her standards of excellence.”
Building a Positive Team Environment
“One of my biggest challenges has been building and maintaining a strong team. While I provide hands-on training and easy-to-follow manuals, finding employees who can handle the physical demands of cleaning while embodying respect and teamwork has been tough. Despite this, I’ve been fortunate to have one loyal employee who shares my dedication to quality. I’ve learned that a great team doesn’t just clean well—it works well together to ensure the job gets done right.”

How Speed Cleaning Has Helped A Clean Design
“Speed Cleaning has been an incredible asset to my business. Completing their courses made me the only Speed Cleaning-certified professional in my area. Their products and methods have revolutionized my approach. I’ve replaced nearly all the products in my cabinet with their green cleaning line, and the results are unmatched. The Speed Cleaning method is a game-changer when practiced correctly, although training employees to maintain consistency remains a challenge. Additionally, their customer service and support are exceptional, making them an invaluable partner in my business.”

Advice for Other Cleaning Business Owners
“Don’t get discouraged if clients don’t come to you right away. The cleaning industry is competitive, but staying consistent with your presence and earning word-of-mouth referrals will pay off. Also, find at least one reliable helper to prevent burnout—you’ll thank yourself later!”
A Rewarding Moment
“The most rewarding part of my business is making a positive difference in others’ lives. Over the years, I’ve been able to donate cleanings, support Cleaning for a Reason and the American Heart Association, and provide groceries and gifts to families in need during the holidays. These moments make all the challenges worth it.”
Matthew’s story highlights the journey of a dedicated entrepreneur who turned his passion for cleaning into a successful business. His commitment to quality, both in service and team development, sets a high standard for the industry. The integration of Speed Cleaning methods and products into A Clean Design has been a game-changer, improving operational efficiency and aligning with his mission to offer healthier, more effective cleaning solutions.
Speed Cleaning’s emphasis on training and support has been invaluable to Matthew’s success. The ability to provide certified training to his team and access premium cleaning products has empowered him to stand out in a competitive market. Furthermore, Matthew’s involvement in community initiatives underscores the profound impact cleaning businesses can have beyond just maintaining clean spaces. They can make a real difference in people’s lives.
