Today we’d like to introduce you to Charline Gray.
Hi Charline, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started my business from the ground up with hard work, determination, and a commitment to doing things the right way. With more than 23 years of experience in cleaning and management, I built The Cleaning Crew of KC one client at a time, focusing on quality, trust, and treating people with respect. Over the past ten years, the business has grown into a stable, local employer that creates jobs and provides opportunities for people who might otherwise be overlooked. That journey shaped my belief in accountability, opportunity, and leadership through service—values I bring with me into everything I do.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It hasn’t been smooth or rocky—it’s been steady. Challenges come up every day, and I believe it’s not about avoiding obstacles, but how you handle them. One of my biggest challenges was social media, and once I brought on a marketing team, it made a huge difference. It freed up my time and allowed me to focus on growing the business and serving my clients and employees better.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about The Cleaning Crew of KC?
The Cleaning Crew of KC is a locally owned cleaning company built on trust, consistency, and care. We specialize in commercial cleaning, with a strong reputation for reliability, attention to detail, and professionalism. What we’re most known for is showing up—on time, prepared, and committed to doing the job right every single time.
What truly sets us apart is our people-first approach. We intentionally hire and train individuals who may face barriers to employment, including those with disabilities or challenging backgrounds, and we provide them with real opportunities to grow and succeed. That commitment has helped us build a loyal, hardworking team and strong, long-term relationships with our clients.
Brand-wise, I’m most proud that our name stands for integrity and accountability. After more than 23 years of experience in cleaning and management and nine years in business, our brand represents stability, quality, and community investment. I want readers to know that when they support The Cleaning Crew of KC, they’re not just hiring a cleaning service—they’re supporting a local business that believes in people, takes pride in its work, and is deeply committed to the community it serves.
How do you define success?
I define success by seeing lives changed in a positive way because of the actions I’ve taken.
