§ THE INBOXES

Where to write us.

We do not have a contact form, a chatbot, or a ticketing system. We have a small set of inboxes that go directly to people. Pick the one closest to your reason for writing and we will get back to you.

Trade & professional

INSIDE ONE WEEK

For working cleaners and contractors. Pricing questions, route advice that didn't fit a public piece, the kind of thing you'd ask another cleaner at a job site. Read by Sam.

Press & media

INSIDE ONE WEEK

Interview requests, syndication inquiries, podcast bookings. We are selective. We do not do paid placements.

POSTAL MAIL

Editorial Office
P.O. Box 14029
Chicago, IL 60614

For physical correspondence only. We check the box once a week. Anything time-sensitive should go by email.

WHAT WE DON'T REPLY TO

A short, frank list.

  • Manufacturer-paid placements or sponsored content. We do not run them.
  • AI-generated guest posts or 'collaboration' offers. We will not respond.
  • Link-building exchanges. We do not do them, including the polite ones.
  • Generic SEO outreach. The shape of the email gives it away.

None of this is a personal slight. We are a small operation and our editorial time is scarce. We would rather use it on the work and on readers who are writing in good faith.
