For more than a decade, Cleanslate has provided Chicagoland businesses and communities with professional litter abatement, graffiti removal, power washing, snow removal, and landscaping. We even install and maintain street furniture. No matter what the assignment, you can count on Cleanslate to bring the skills, experience, and a ready-to-work attitude to your job.
As a social enterprise undertaken by Cara, Cleanslate is a small but mighty cleaning machine, differentiated by its fast and friendly service and its deep commitment to the community. We provide what some might consider an ordinary service (litter abatement, light landscaping, snow removal) in an extraordinary way, so that all Chicago neighborhoods - from Uptown to South Shore to many communities in between - can take pride in the safety, revitalization, and vibrancy that is created through clean streetscapes serviced by motivated and motivating people.
Andino found his second chance at Cleanslate, and now he's building a better future for his two-year-old daughter, Eva. We're so grateful he shared his story with WTTW - Chicago PBS, helping more people gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to fight poverty.
