Our Story

From Cleaning Buildings at Night to Building Cinch.

I started with one customer, cleaning buildings alongside my wife. More than 20 years later, I've built an eight-figure commercial cleaning company.

Along the way, I created the software we needed to help run it.

That software is Cinch.

See Why I Built Cinch ↓

I Didn't Start Out Building Software. I Started Out Cleaning Buildings.

Before Cinch, before the awards, and before building a cleaning company operating across multiple states, I was just a guy trying to build a business.

My wife and I started with one customer. We were the ones cleaning the buildings, working late nights, and trying to land the next customer while taking care of the one we had.

We didn't have a big team, fancy systems, or all the answers. I wondered how we'd land our next account, how much we should charge, and whether we were making the right decisions.

Nobody handed me a playbook. We figured things out as we went — and those early lessons shaped everything I would eventually build.

One Customer Turned Into an Eight-Figure Cleaning Company.

Over the years, that small cleaning business grew into iPro Building Services — a company serving customers across multiple states, managing hundreds of employees, and handling demanding commercial facilities.

Along the way, iPro earned a spot on the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies four times.

But here's what I learned: growing a cleaning company doesn't make running one easier. The bigger we got, the more our systems mattered.

If you don't build the right systems, your business starts running you instead of the other way around.

I Knew There Had to Be a Better Way.

As our cleaning company grew, I kept running into the same questions:

How do we price contracts accurately without guessing?
How do we keep track of prospects, walkthroughs, and proposals?
How do we make sure employees know where they need to be?
How do we stay on top of inspections, work orders, and customer requests?

I didn't want more spreadsheets, paperwork, and disconnected systems. I wanted one practical, easy-to-understand place built around how commercial cleaning businesses actually operate.

That's what led me to create Cinch.

"I didn't want to build software that just looked good. I wanted to build something I would actually use to run my own cleaning company."
— Edwin Eaton, Founder of Cinch

Built From Real Experience

I Didn't Just Build Cinch. I Put It to Work in My Own Company.

I didn't build Cinch to sell software to cleaning companies and hope it worked. I built it because I needed better systems to run my own business.

Today, my commercial cleaning company operates at an eight-figure scale — and the same software I'm offering you is what we use to help manage our business.

I'm not asking you to use something I wouldn't use myself.

I've Been Where You Are. That's Why I Built Cinch.

One of the things I enjoy most today is talking with other commercial cleaning business owners — some trying to land their first account, others trying to grow without working around the clock.

I've been on both sides. I know what it's like to wonder where your next customer is coming from, and I know the pressure of making payroll.

Cinch isn't going to build your business for you. You still have to put in the work. But the right tools help you spend less time chasing information and more time on your customers, your team, and your growth.

That's why I want other cleaning business owners to have access to it.
