Owner
I'm Sean Tucker, the owner of VivaClean. I've lived in Austin for ten years and have run VivaClean for the last two. My background is in sales, marketing, and running service businesses. I built VivaClean around two rules: your exact price shows before you book, and every clean ends with timestamped photos of every room. I write here to answer the questions people ask before they hire a cleaner, in plain words and with real prices.
