Cleaning & Cocktails was fun, educational and was filled by like minded cleaning business owners. I had a blast and connected with amazing people. I also left with so many golden nuggets and became part of a community that supports each other.

Diana Muturia

We came back from the conference and have had our nose to the grind stone since. I took Tonys advice and we've expanded our services to painting, floor care, manufacturing ceiling work, oversaw a restoration project of a hotel and more. All because we asked! We are able to subcontract out the work that we aren't able to do. But taking that uneasy step outside the box and listening to Tony, has given us the opportunity to bid on $783,000 worth of work with our current clients outside of janitorial services since May of 2021!! Kudos guys for a great event! Excited to see what comes next.

Mark Lineberry

Cleaning & Cocktails Live in Chicago this past October hosted by Rozalado Services & Ricky's team was nothing short than amazing. There were over 100 CEO's from across the US & Canada that were there for one purpose to learn and be inspired through fellow cleaning professionals. It was the 1st event Ricky & Rozalado Services hosted and the energy from the start was epic. When you bring open minds that are willing to share their stories and empower the facilities industry it becomes infectious. In one work: "Worthy" ! Excellent two days plus the willingness of fellow CEO's to assist and help.

Paul McArthur

My experience with cleaning & cocktails was very pleasant. I finally felt in a world that could express to me how exciting and valuable it is to have a cleaning company, I learned from many tips that I am already applying in my company that met wonderful people who are changing the world of cleaning one building at a time using new platforms and a lot of technology.
