We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Christopher Zamora a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Christopher , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?
I founded Sustainable Cleaning in 2020, after having worked in the luxury retail market for over a decade. While managing several luxury boutiques, I realized the shortage of superior yet affordable cleaning services for luxury commercial spaces. As a result, I decided to launch my own business using the knowledge skills and abilities gained from my employment in South Florida. I evaluated what was missing in the commercial cleaning market, specifically for these types of boutiques, Based on my management experience and after thorough assessment Sustainable Cleaning came to fruition. Utilizing high-quality, eco-friendly cleaning products along with implementing the highest standards of cleaning as well as exceptional customer service, Sustainable Cleaning is able to serve various luxury retail businesses located in South Florida, Central Florida, Atlanta & New York,
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
The concept of sustainability is composed of three pillars: people, planet, and product. Sourcing the right cleaning product with the right materials and standards takes a lot of dedication, meticulous attention to detail and research. It’s our promise to find industry professionals and suppliers that share the same values and goals as we do: respect for employees, limiting environmental impact, long-term vision of sustainability, committed to social change, ethical mindset. Having a trusted partner to provide a full spectrum of cleaning services customized to your needs allows you to focus on your business, while we keep it spotlessly clean in the greenest way possible. We help implement these eco-friendly changes to your business, showing your commitment to social responsibility, as well as your business acumen. The transition to sustainability should make companies proud to be doing their part in taking care of our environment, and with the tools available today, it has never been easier. The bottom line is that everyone wins: owners, employees, customers and the environment. We have the experience and knowledge to help your organization become an eco-friendly business.
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
The transition of going from managing luxury retail stores to cleaning them was not entirely smooth. The skills for both positions may differ but the motivation for doing both was always present, which removed several roadblocks. I was able to kickstart Sustainable Cleaning by using only eco-friendly products and cleaning these beautiful stores the way I would have wanted them cleaned as manager of these stores. I believe my background in retail has allowed me the opportunity to provide a great service to high-end stores. The growing pains of starting a business, such as building a clientele and developing a great team, were there at the start. However, seeing the business expand throughout Florida, New York & Atlanta tells me that my customers are happy and perhaps those growing pains are somewhat subsiding.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
Sustainable Cleaning makes it our mission to offer luxury retail boutiques a unique cleaning experience to what is currently available in the marketplace. With a major focus on customer service and retail excellence, we believe in delivering exceptional results to a demographic that expects nothing but the best. We are truly committed to redesigning standards delivering the concept of sustainability and premium cleaning services to the retail industry.
