UniqClean: Raising the Standard for Short-Term Rental Cleaning

When it comes to short-term rentals, great cleaning isn’t just about appearances — it’s about trust, consistency, and delivering five-star experiences for every guest. One of STRASA’s most ardent supporters, Chris Masopust, has built UniqClean around exactly that principle.

STRASA board member Debby Villers relies on UniqClean to clean the short-term rentals she manages, and the results speak for themselves.

Debby says, “UniqClean has been fabulous. Their attention to detail and consistency help my properties earn five-star reviews every time. I trust them completely with my homes and my guests’ experience.”

That level of confidence is no accident — it’s the result of systems designed specifically for short-term rentals, not residential cleaning adapted after the fact.

Built by a Host, for Hosts

Chris founded UniqClean more than six years ago in Hot Springs, Arkansas, after experiencing firsthand how critical cleaning standards are to a successful STR business. After cycling through multiple cleaning companies in less than a year, he realized the biggest risk to his properties wasn’t bookings or pricing — it was inconsistent cleaning.

Rather than compromise, he built a solution. What began with a single salaried cleaner supporting three properties has grown into a professional operation now servicing more than 150 properties in Arkansas and over 50 properties in the San Antonio area, with expansion into Fredericksburg, Boerne, and Canyon Ranch.

Standards, Systems, and Accountability

Maintaining quality at scale is one of the hardest challenges in short-term rental operations. UniqClean addresses this with a multi-tiered quality system that includes cleaners, inspectors, and an operations manager who inspects the inspectors.

In the San Antonio market, the company is actively refining training and rebuilding processes to ensure teams are aligned and standards are met across every property. UniqClean also prioritizes market-specific staffing — even when it means absorbing additional cost — to protect outcomes and maintain consistency for owners.

Looking Ahead

Chris’s long-term plan is to continue growing UniqClean into a national company built on trust, systems, and service. Cleaning serves as the foundation, opening the door to expanded support for owners through maintenance services, enhanced guest communication, and technology-driven tools that combine automation with real human oversight.

Future offerings are designed to give owners peace of mind — handling guest communication, access coordination, and operational support — while allowing them to retain control of their businesses.
