Blind cleaners whose professional standards and interests are in harmony with our network are invited to join us. Have a transformational impact in our industry and with consumers rather than just operating alone or paying someone for a lead program. In the network, you'll have access to activities that connect you with a wealth of resources and other blind cleaners. We offer training, support, and a way to have an expanded footprint before the public with your services as fabricators, decorators, and consumers recognize our brand or know about us.
Our Customer Referral Program helps you in front of the prospective customer, our online resources and connections to other cleaners gives you a sounding board for advice or research and ongoing professional development is possible in person or remotely through private webinars, chats and private online groups or in person through events and training sessions. Our website contains the largest collection of blind cleaning materials on the internet including the Blind Cleaner's Resource Guide. Vendor discounts and money-saving information is accessible to those affiliated with our group. The public pages of the website are provided as a courtesy and quick reference to common items of interest for blind cleaners in general or those looking to learn more about our organization. The Free Newsletter is available monthly, however archives of over 15 years of back issues are online for Members. While our site isn't as fancy as some sites or slick in the "sales presentation" you'll find we deliver real value from blind cleaners to blind cleaners.

*** We DO NOT "Endorse" any of these companies as network members provide a wide range of reviews based upon their experiences with these vendors! Do your research. Feel free to contact us directly for survey results on what other blind cleaners say about them or to be referred to other blind cleaners who have experience with them. Realize many have invested heavily in fancy websites and SALES materials that promise all kinds of great things and sound oh so good. Some that do the most internet advertising and have great "name recognition" with a long-time presence in the industry have not-so-great reputations among experienced blind cleaners. Some offer "24/7 Customer Support" by answering machine (and IF you are a current paying customer). Other companies are decent or of unknown reputation... Ask them to SEE copies of dated published newsletters or support materials sent regularly to their clients from 1,5,10 years ago and see what happens. Many have slick marketing packages that are nothing more than improved glossy copies of outlines published from typed materials in manuals for 10-20 years ago using techniques that aren't "real world" winners as they claim. Ask to speak to 3-4 of their clients from 2-3 years ago for a reference and see what those people say BEFORE you buy—if they "can't" provide references beware.
The term "Training" is used liberally here in the sense that some of these companies only offer a few hours of little more than plugging in the machine and dunking a few blinds with a lot of talking about the machine and giving the customer a manual of resources.
The information is provided as a resource for those researching a business opportunity in Blind Cleaning. Talk to others in the industry, join our network for articles on the topic or to ask others in our private Facebook group, etc.
This list also does not include a bunch of websites that resell foreign-made ultrasonic blind cleaners—quality unknown.
IF you know of a vendor whose name may be missing from our list, please let us know.
