Kathy & Her Team – Cleaning Company in St Joseph & Holland MI

Though today Calico Cleaning, LLC is a well-known, trusted, and highly-rated cleaning service, the business has humble roots. Kathy started her cleaning business in 2009 from the trunk of her car with her 16 year old daughter, Brandy, as a way for her to earn extra school clothes money that summer. Kathy had been cleaning homes off and on since she was 18 herself, starting at a bed and breakfast in Saugatuck. Kathy went on VRBO and started emailing owners offering her cleaning service. She got 2 cottages right away and Calico Cleaning still cleans those two homes today.

The following spring she did the same thing again and got 4 more. The following year she had to hire her first “helpers.” It grew from there. In 2011 Calico Cleaning’s first office opened on Dyckman Ave. in South Haven. Quickly outgrowing that office they moved the following year to a little bigger office and have moved 3 more times since then. Each time outgrowing that office. Calico Cleaning will be expanding to open a second office in Holland in 2022. New clients are being accepted in the Holland area now!

To date, Calico employs 20 full-time employees and 35+ seasonal employees and takes care of 200+ properties. Offering not only residential, and vacation rental, but also commercial office cleaning.

Each year Calico employs several bus drivers, teachers, and paraprofessionals for summer vacation rental cleaning. Some of these employees return year after year. Brittany Grzybowski (Operations Manager) has been with Calico since 2011, Marsha Shannon joined Calico Cleaning as a cleaner in 2019, and was promoted to Sales/Customer Service in 2021. Amanda Ervin joined Calico as the CFO in 2018.

Stay tuned for where Kathy and her team will take Calico in the next century. Want to be part of the story? Apply now to Join Our Team!
