In 2015, Larry and Michelle Peterson wanted to find a way to start living
at their lake home on Lake Anna full time. As a longtime customer, Michelle
had always joked about owning The Cleaning Authority, and they decided
to make that joke a reality.
Before becoming business owners with The Cleaning Authority, the high school
sweethearts both worked in the corporate world. Larry worked at Fairchild
Controls and Michelle for Aircraft Owners and Pilot’s Association,
where she still works.
The couple believed in The Cleaning Authority’s services and processes
so much that they felt becoming owners of The Cleaning Authority was a
great fit. “We learned about the brand first as customers and fell
in love with the system. We had tried other cleaning companies in the
past and really believed in The Cleaning Authority’s process,”
Michelle said.
Since opening their doors in December 2015, the Petersons have loved that
owning a franchise means you’re not left out to dry once you’ve
opened. “We appreciate that support,” Larry said. “It
is helpful to have a constant connection with the corporate team.”
