Meet Abigail Guzman! Abigail is the owner of Pristine Clean in Gainesville. She is married to Jose and the couple are the parents of Victoria, 9 and Emiliano, 15, a freshman at Gainesville High School. Abigail and her husband also own Pristine Painting.

“I founded Pristine Clean in 2017. I wanted a spotless home but juggling a hectic schedule made it seem impossible! Like my clients, cleaning was the last thing I wanted to do after a busy week. However, finding the right company was very difficult.

“Being a natural problem solver, I started my own business and Pristine Clean was born! A boutique cleaning company that would help others like myself focus on the things that matter in life while delivering elite cleaning standards and exceptional customer service. Pristine Clean is loved by homeowners, businesses, property managers, real estate agents, and Airbnb hosts in our community. I believe firmly in the saying ‘Quality Over Quantity.’ My Cleaning Specialists deliver quality and excellent service to every client,” she said.

Developing meaningful relationships with my clients and my community is what I have enjoyed the most! Pristine Clean has allowed me to build community partnerships, and strong friendships that I know will last a lifetime. I love my community and we can’t wait to share some very exciting news with everyone very soon! A new business venture!”
