I am pleased to provide this letter of recommendation for Advantage Cleaning LLC. KIPP NYC Public Charter Schools utilizes Advantage Cleaning for contracted custodial services at 14 of our schools. Thirteen of those schools are over 100,000 square feet, and the 14th
is approximately 70,000 square feet.

I have been consistently impressed by the service and support we receive from the entire Advantage Cleaning team, from their top management to the cleaners who work at our facilities. The staff is well-trained, reliable, engaged, and always expresses a positive
attitude about their work for KIPP. We appreciate the knowledge they display about their services, and the constant and effective communication we receive to ensure that our schools are maintained to the highest standards. In working with Advantage Cleaning
management, I have found them to be honest, forthright, and highly accountable.
