About Gator Cleaning Solutions

After working in the corporate world for four years, ownership decided to transition into an entrepreneurial role. While researching what type of businesses to focus on, the owner came across multiple service-oriented companies. Realizing his strength in building relationships, it became apparent that the commercial cleaning industry lacked consistent quality and high-level customer service. Marcus Meyer then developed the concept for Gator Cleaning Solutions and began marketing the company to small businesses across the Tampa Bay area. After much planning and hard work, Marcus started receiving new business and hired a team of commercial cleaning professionals. For nearly 20 years, Gator Cleaning Solutions has had incredible success and is considered the expert in cleaning solutions by many. It is with continued research and commitment to quality that the company continues to grow and succeed.

Today Gator Cleaning Solutions is a leader in commercial cleaning and facilities care. We are proud to serve 12 counties in Florida including the Tampa Bay area, with a cleaning team approaching 100 well-trained professionals. For nearly 20 years, we have had the privilege of helping homeowners, business owners, property managers, schools, and more maintain a healthy and productive workplace while reflecting a professional business image. With the expansion of services, we have served our clients with comprehensive cleaning solutions and look forward to creating new relationships in the years to come.
