Fort Myers, Florida (March 1, 2026) — Crystal Clean, a premier commercial cleaning provider with over 40 years of history in Southwest Florida, is proud to announce the launch of its new podcast, "Cleaning with Purpose."

 

Hosted by Charly Caldwell II and featuring insights from Crystal Clean’s owner Dave Harting, General Manager Jeff Dougherty, and Director of Sales and Marketing, Will Power, the show explores the intersection of high-performance business culture and the technical art of professional cleaning!

 

Recorded in the heart of Southwest Florida, the podcast serves as an educational resource for property managers, business owners, and entrepreneurs.

 

The series moves beyond the "tactics" of cleaning to discuss the foundational values that drive an exceptional service business, specifically the Crystal Clean philosophy:

 

"Family, Client, Company".

​

“We aren't just a cleaning company; we are a cleaning company with a mission,” says Jeff Dougherty, General Manager.

 

“Our goal is to educate our community on what makes a service provider truly exceptional—from the systems we use to the legitimate care we have for our team and our clients”.

​

​
