In the Real Estate business, I guess you can say things get moved around a lot. Buying, selling, client preparation, contract work – you name it – things get a little messy. I recently met a local business owner, Amy Caplan, the owner of KLEAN. Klean, based in Pittsburgh, provides efficient and detailed cleaning and organizing for gals like me. Servicing homeowners, renters, businesses, realtors, contractors and interior designers, Amy is known for her keen attention to detail.

A lot of agents don’t realize the importance of a clean and organized home, whether buying or selling. Presentation is effective! I love to connect with women in my industry and while chatting with Amy, we get to know her business and the importance of home presentation. You can learn more about the KLEANing effects at www.klean412.com and visit Amy on social media @Klean412 on Instagram, and on Facebook.

From routine cleaning, to one-time “deep cleans,” move-in/move-out, after construction or after renovation, our highly trained professionals customize our services to meet your needs. We work with long-time homeowners, renters,  businesses, realtors, contractors and interior designers. -Amy Caplan
