Founded in 1984 by Sophia Borek, Sophia’s Cleaning Services is one of Chicago’s longest-standing and best reviewed cleaning companies.

Sophia began her first cleaning company as a college student in communist-controlled Poland. Sophia soon realized that in order to reach her full potential, she needed to immigrate to America.

As she waited for her immigration approval, Sophia taught herself five different languages and worked as a translator for an underground anti-communist newspaper all while running her cleaning business.
