About CleanworksPNW
Locally owned Spokane cleaning since 2007.
Founded by John Jennings — an Eastern Washington University Health Services Administration graduate — CleanworksPNW brings clinical-grade expertise to every facility we serve, staffed by Special Needs Professionals.
Meet the founder
John Jennings
Originally from Tacoma, John moved to Spokane in 1991 and graduated from Eastern Washington University in 1994 with a degree in Health Services Administration and a business minor. He married 29 years ago, has four children, and founded CleanworksPNW in 2007 — operating it locally ever since.
His Health Services background directly informs the clinical-grade sterilization competency that sets Cleanworks apart — and his son inspired the mission to employ Special Needs Professionals.

The Cleanworks difference
Informed by Health Services expertise
John’s Health Services Administration degree isn’t a credential we list — it’s the lens we clean through. Here’s what that actually means for your facility.
Clinical-grade sterilization
EPA-certified protocol with a 99.99% virus kill and 90-day surface protection — the standard medical, dental, and veterinary facilities require.
Infection-control fluency
John's Health Services Administration training means our teams understand cross-contamination, bloodborne pathogens, and compliance — not just wiping surfaces.
Rare among Spokane cleaners
Most local janitorial services can't tie their methods to a health-services credential. We can. That background is what lets us safely serve clinics, dental, and vet offices.
Customer assurance
Trust signals you can verify
The operational backbone behind every CleanworksPNW contract.
Bonded & insured
Every CleanworksPNW crew is bonded and insured for the facilities we serve, with documented coverage available on request.
Background-checked teams
Our Special Needs Professionals are background-checked and trained to your agreed scope before they ever set foot in your facility.
Locally owned since 2007
Spokane-based and owner-operated for over 17 years. You work with a local team that knows the Inland Northwest and is accountable for the work.
