About us

It started because I needed a cleaner.

Salty Air Home Cleaning is a local, insured and bonded cleaning company in St. Johns County. This is the short version of how it got here.

Our story

Nobody would just tell me what it cost.

Chapter one

The Saturday that never came

I’m a single dad. Between work, school pickup, practice and getting dinner on the table, the house was always the thing that lost. Not filthy — just never actually clean. Beach sand living permanently in the hallway. A laundry pile that had quietly become furniture. A shower I kept promising myself I’d deal with on Saturday, for about nine Saturdays running.

So I did what everyone does. I went looking for someone to help.

Chapter two

Five phone calls, zero prices

I called five companies. Two never called back. One wanted to send somebody out to my house, on a weekday, to give me a quote. Another said one number on the phone and a different number once the crew was standing in my kitchen. Not one of them would simply tell me what it cost to clean my house.

Here is the part that stuck with me: the cleaners were never the problem. Every person who actually walked through my door worked hard and did good work. It was everything wrapped around them — the phone tag, the vague pricing, a different crew each time who had to be walked through the whole house again from scratch.

Chapter three

So we built the one I wanted

Salty Air is a local cleaning company in St. Johns County, run the way I wanted to be treated as a customer. You get your exact price on the website before you speak to anybody. You get the same insured, bonded, background-checked team on every visit. And if a clean isn’t right, you say so and we come back and fix it.

That is the whole idea. It isn’t clever — it was just oddly hard to find.

What we hold ourselves to
  • Your price, on screen, before anyone comes over. Five questions, about sixty seconds. No in-home estimate, no sales visit, no “we’ll call you back with a number.”
  • The same team, every visit. They learn your home — which floors take what, which room the dog sleeps in, where the good towels live. You are not re-explaining it every two weeks.
  • Insured, bonded and background-checked. Every cleaner, every visit. It was the first thing I wanted to know as a customer, so we say it before anyone has to ask.
  • Our cleaners keep half. A straight 50/50 on every job, paid weekly, with nothing deducted for supplies or fees.
  • You rate every clean. Under four stars and we come back and make it right — free, no argument, no invoice.
  • No contracts. Skip a week, change the frequency, stop entirely. Reschedule free with 24 hours’ notice. The schedule is a convenience, not a lock-in.
Who actually cleans your home

Small, vetted local teams — not a rotating pool of whoever happened to be free that morning. Every cleaner is background-checked before their first job, and they are insured and bonded on every visit after it.

They keep a straight half of what you pay, every week, with nothing held back for supplies or fees. That is deliberate. This industry loses people constantly, and every time it does, some customer has to start over with a stranger in their home. Paying properly is the cheapest way we know to make sure the person who cleaned your house last month is the one who cleans it this month.

If that sounds like the job you want, we are hiring.

Where we clean

We are based in St. Johns County and we stay in it — Ponte Vedra Beach, Nocatee, St. Johns and St. Augustine. Staying small and staying local is how the same team keeps ending up at the same house.

What we do: house cleaning, recurring cleaning, deep cleaning, move-in and move-out cleans, and short-term rental turnovers.
