Explore Our Process
Professional residential cleaning is about more than the final result. At Clean Point, every service follows a structured approach designed to bring consistency, attention to detail, and a thoughtful approach to cleaning homes throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the Twin Cities.
There’s a Method Behind the Clean
HOW WE WORK
The result is visible.
The process usually isn't.
A clean home is easy to recognize. What is less visible is everything that happens behind the result: the training, the order of each task, the tools assigned to different areas, and the steps taken after the cleaning is complete.
At Clean Point, those details aren't improvised. They're part of the way we work.
44 POINT EXCELLENCE™
44 Things
We Don't Leave to Chance.
Our structured 44-step professional deep cleaning process.
A professional clean shouldn't depend on who arrives at your home or what they happen to remember that day. That's why our team follows a structured 44-point cleaning process designed to bring consistency, attention to detail, and a clear standard to every service.
Each member of our cleaning team receives practical training and must learn how to perform the process according to Clean Point's procedures before working independently in a client's home.

Because consistency takes more than a checklist.
Our checklists help organize the work, but the process also depends on trained professionals, attention to detail, and quality controls. The goal is not simply to complete a list—it's to make sure every important part of the home receives the attention it needs.
A color-coded cleaning system designed to help prevent cross-contamination between areas of the home.
COLOR SHIELD PROTOCOL™
One Simple Rule: Colors Don't Cross.
Bathrooms, food preparation areas, and common spaces shouldn't share the same cleaning tools. Our Color Shield Protocol™ assigns a specific color to different areas of the home, helping our team keep tools organized and reduce the risk of cross-contamination during the cleaning process.
Tools assigned to bathroom areas stay within that zone during the cleaning process.
🟠
ORANGE
Bathrooms
🟡
YELLOW
Food Preparation Areas
Dedicated tools for areas where food is handled and prepared.
🔵
LIGHT BLUE
Common Areas & Windows
Tools designated for general living spaces and window-related cleaning.
The color isn't just on the cloth.
Microfiber cloths, gloves, spray bottles, cleaning tools, and work bags are identified according to the area where they are used. This helps ensure that equipment assigned to bathrooms isn't mixed with equipment used in food preparation areas or common spaces.
ELECTROLYZED WATER DISINFECTION
Clean Comes First. Then Comes Disinfection.
Cleaning and disinfection are not the same step. Before applying a disinfecting solution, surfaces need to be properly cleaned to remove dirt, grease, and visible buildup.
Once the surface has been cleaned, Clean Point incorporates electrolyzed water as part of its residential cleaning and disinfection process.
A clean-looking surface is only part of the picture.
Some microorganisms cannot be seen with the naked eye. That's why our process goes beyond removing visible dirt and includes an additional disinfection step after cleaning is complete.
Water. Salt. Electricity.
Electrolyzed water is produced through a controlled electrolysis process using purified water, a small amount of salt, and electricity. This process creates a solution containing hypochlorous acid (HOCl), which is used as a disinfecting agent when properly produced and applied.
PURIFIED WATER + A SMALL AMOUNT OF SALT + ELECTRICITY + ELECTROLYSIS

ELECTROLYZED WATER
The order matters.
01 — CLEAN
Remove dirt, grease, dust, and visible buildup from the surface.
02 — APPLY
Apply electrolyzed water after the surface has been properly cleaned.
03 — DISINFECT
Allow the disinfecting step to support a more hygienic home environment.
A different approach to disinfection.
No heavy fragrances
Effective disinfection doesn't need to rely on strong scents to feel clean.
No harsh chemical residue
Our process is designed to support surface disinfection without leaving aggressive chemical residues behind.
Made with everyday environments in mind
A thoughtful option for homes where children, pets, and families share the same spaces.
Products and processes are used according to proper preparation, application, and safety procedures.
Three systems. Different jobs.
44
Creates structure.
A structured process helps organize what gets cleaned and how.
COLOR SHIELD
Keeps areas separate.
Color-coded tools help reduce cross-contamination between different zones
ELECTROLYZED WATER

Applied after cleaning as part of a more complete hygiene process.
Together, these systems shape the way Clean Point approaches professional residential cleaning—from the first step to the final surface.
