Meet the founder

John Jennings

Originally from Tacoma, John moved to Spokane in 1991 and graduated from Eastern Washington University in 1994 with a degree in Health Services Administration and a business minor. He married 29 years ago, has four children, and founded CleanworksPNW in 2007 — operating it locally ever since.

His son inspired the mission at the heart of the company — employing Special Needs Professionals and opening doors through meaningful work — and that purpose shapes how CleanworksPNW operates today.

The Cleanworks difference

Built on purpose and accountability

CleanworksPNW is built on a mission — employing individuals with special needs — and on the kind of accountable, reliable cleaning that keeps facilities coming back. Here’s what that means for yours.

  • A mission, not just a business

    CleanworksPNW exists to create meaningful employment for individuals with special needs. Every facility we clean helps open those doors — and gives you reliable, well-trained crews who take pride in the work.

  • Trained, accountable crews

    Our background-checked Special Needs Professionals are trained to your agreed scope before they ever enter your facility. Reliable, consistent teams — not a rotating cast — so the standard holds every visit.

  • Locally owned since 2007

    Founded by John Jennings and operated locally for nearly two decades, CleanworksPNW is accountable to Spokane — not a national chain. Your business supports local crews and local reinvestment.
