After almost three decades in corporate marketing, Hudson resident Christine Erickson found herself at a breaking point. Tired of her work environment, she made the decision to leave her six-figure corporate income behind to become a franchise owner of The Cleaning Authority.

"I was so tired of not feeling like I was really making a difference," said Erickson, noting the frustration of original ideas getting diluted through corporate layers.
