Steve Gilbert with First Class Cleaning began in 2004. Steve was managing New Life Fitness and was working 60+ hours per week. His wife Deb told him, if he was working that much, he should be working for himself. She had already started several businesses on her own and felt they could deal well with people. She had a dog sitting business and many of those customers had asked where they could find reputable people who would do home cleaning. She took a list of previous clients and began making calls. They began cleaning homes, and then Sprint asked them to clean their offices in Cedar Rapids, Hiawatha and Iowa City. They purchased another cleaning company and began cleaning the offices of Countrywide in Cedar Rapids, Hiawatha, Cedar Falls, Waterloo and Coralville. They were responsible for cleaning the former Ground Transportation Center in downtown Cedar Rapids, but with the flood of 2008, many of those businesses did not survive. First Class can do many different types of cleaning. They clean hardwood floors and do move furniture out of the way to clean. They have done gymnasium floors, carpets and will clean windows. When cleaning windows, they do both the inside and outside of the window. They have completed cleaning for Pak Mail, Cedar Valley Physical Therapy. When cleaning offices, they dust, wipe down or clean, but do not step on desks, move keyboards or touch personal items. They have a blind cleaning machine that will take care of blinds and chords, but Steve is no longer offering this service, so the machine is for sale. Everyone out there is Steve's boss. He used to clean dance clubs, he has cleaned out apartments where tenants have left lots of garbage, but only does commercial work now.
