Doctor Clean: Defining “Cleaning Done Right” in Orange County

Lake Forest, CA – In the heart of Orange County, California, a passionate entrepreneur is defining the meaning of a clean home and workplace. Margareta Petrovic, CEO of Doctor Clean, has turned her lifelong appreciation for cleanliness into a thriving business that’s more than just a cleaning service—a lifestyle enhancement company built on the principle of “Cleaning Done Right.”

Margareta’s journey to establishing Doctor Clean is a tale of two continents. Born and raised in Serbia, she brought a European sensibility about cleanliness when she moved to the United States at the age of 29. “I got my proper OCD cleaning training in Europe,” Margareta shares with a smile. “It’s a different mentality.” Margareta’s background gives the company a unique edge in an industry where attention to detail makes all the difference.

The genesis of Doctor Clean came from Margareta’s desire for high-end cleaning services. “I was always struggling with outsourcing home care,” she recalls. “I tried every single cleaning service you can imagine, and I had problems getting what I was asking for.” This experience sparked an idea: why not create a service that truly listens to clients and delivers exactly what they need?

Established in 2023, Doctor Clean provides residential and commercial cleaning services that differ from your average cleaning service. “Our criteria for good is that everything has to look like it was just installed,” Margareta states proudly. The company’s success lies in its cleaning techniques, standardized processes, and consistent execution. “We don’t use heavy chemical products,” Margareta explains. “We know chemistry-wise what works for which type of problem. There is always a natural way, and we know them. And the secret sauce is in execution, getting it really done and keeping your quality over time.” This dedication to consistency ensures that every client, whether new or long-standing, receives the same high level of service every time.

The “Cleaning Done Right” philosophy extends beyond the actual cleaning to how Doctor Clean treats its employees. With around 30 employees, Doctor Clean is more than a business—it’s a community. Margareta and her Chief Operating Officer, Maya, have cultivated a work environment based on respect, fair wages, and personal growth. “We treat them with respect,” Margareta emphasizes. “We are creating a community. We also want to support their families, give their children better opportunities.”

Maya plays a crucial role in both client relations and team management. She personally selects team members, meets client needs, and keeps the team motivated. The company’s commitment to its employees extends beyond the workplace, with initiatives like providing school supplies for their children. Doctor Clean’s commitment to the community is evident in its policy of giving special discounts to elderly people.

For Margareta, cleaning is about tidiness and creating an environment that enhances life. This philosophy has resonated deeply with clients where time is increasingly precious. As Margareta puts it, referring to a client’s perspective, “We are her self-care activity. This is time for me like I’m literally outsourcing my problem to get time for me.”

When she’s not revolutionizing the cleaning industry, Margareta enjoys the outdoor lifestyle that Orange County offers. “I love hiking, and I love running,” she shares. Her appreciation for the area runs deep: “It’s a nice, family-oriented area, very clean, low crime. You have a lot of hiking, a lot of nature. You have the ocean very nearby. So everything I can ask for is here.”

As Doctor Clean grows, Margareta remains committed to her vision of “Cleaning Done Right.” The company is getting certified as a women-owned enterprise, reflecting Margareta’s commitment to leadership and excellence in business. When asked about advice for choosing a cleaning service, Margareta’s answer is simple yet profound: “Get more time for yourself. If you’re choosing between spending time with your family and cleaning, I would spend time with the family.”

In a world where cleanliness has become important, Doctor Clean offers more than just a clean home or office—it provides peace of mind and the luxury of time. For those in Orange County looking for “Cleaning Done Right,” Doctor Clean stands ready to transform houses into homes and offices into havens of productivity. With Margareta Petrovic at the helm, it’s clear that Doctor Clean is not just cleaning spaces—it’s enhancing lives, one sparkle at a time.
