Its " doc_version: "2026-10-17" last_updated: "2026-10-17" --- # The Cleaning Authority - Stamford **Trade:** House Cleaning · **Address:** Stamford, CT · **Phone:** (203) 350-0539 · **Website:** https://www.thecleaningauthority.com/stamford · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.5/5** (high confidence) — from 98 reviews across 6 sources. 95% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 15 reviews, 1 negative. ## The honest read The Cleaning Authority - Stamford is the Stamford franchise of a house-cleaning brand; a 2024 Google reviewer named the franchise owner as Doug Burke. Its website lists New Canaan, Darien, Norwalk, Westport and Stamford as its service area, and it holds 4.8 stars from 182 Google ratings. A recent customer said the cleaners got mud from the dog's paws off the floor and got the shower floor to sparkle like the day it was installed. A recent Google reviewer described a move-out clean of a former apartment. A Reddit commenter in r/norwalk wrote in 2026 that they had used the Stamford location for two-plus years, and a 2025 commenter in r/StamfordCT said they had used the service every two weeks for 6-7 years with no issue. A 2024 customer said that after a basement flooded in a downpour, the business scheduled a worker the next day who got all the water up and sanitized and deodorized the unfinished basement. A 2024 Reddit commenter said a deep clean of a laundry area cost $280, and with extra time the cleaners did the whole place. A recent 1-star customer hired the business for a move-in deep clean and said cabinets and drawers still held crumbs, food wrappers, hair and dirt afterward, with dust left on door trim; that customer said the business gave a full refund after they complained. A 2021 customer said a different team came every time, sheets were left unchanged and a powder room went uncleaned on multiple occasions. A 2021 reviewer said the business charged for at least 4 hours on any job and arrived 3 hours late without a call for one service. **Strengths:** - A dog-mud cleanup — a recent customer said the shower floor sparkled too - Long-term clients — a 2025 Reddit commenter said 6-7 years, biweekly, no issue - A flooded basement — a 2024 customer said water was cleared the next day **Concerns:** - Move-in deep clean — a recent customer found cabinets and drawers still dirty - Team turnover — a 2021 customer said a different team came every time - Minimum billed hours — a 2021 reviewer said every job billed at least 4 hours ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - 4.8 stars from 182 Google ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=The%20Cleaning%20Authority%20-%20Stamford&query_place_id=ChIJJ9YcgwShwokR1V1J9jNpxDI) — “Google: 4.8★ from 182 ratings” - A 2024 Google reviewer named Doug Burke as the franchise owner _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNuaFlQektnEAE!2m1!1s0x0:0x32c46933f6495dd5!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgICnhYPzKg%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ First impressions last, and The Cleaning Authority -- Stamford did not disappoint.
