About Second City Shine, LLC – Chicago’s Cleaning Professionals

At Second City Shine, we’re proud to be Chicago’s trusted partner for commercial janitorial, window cleaning, and pressure washing services. Formerly known as Electro Cleaning Solutions, LLC, we rebranded in 2025 to sharpen our identity and better reflect our mission: delivering reliable, eco-friendly, and affordable cleaning solutions across Chicago and the Chicagoland suburbs.

Our name comes from two things:

  • “Second City” – Chicago’s iconic nickname.

  • “Shine” – the standard we hold ourselves to, making every property sparkle inside and out.

Our Mission

To keep Chicago businesses and homes looking their best with professional, detail-driven cleaning services priced well below the industry average. We believe quality cleaning should be accessible, consistent, and tailored to every client’s needs.
