Real examples

Real failures we caught in early July

Every one of these is a real Chicago restaurant, cited by a city inspector, that had to put the problem right.

Pest
A Southwest Side restaurant
Cited for 25 mice droppings found on the floor behind the kitchen's deep freezers. The inspector ordered them to call pest control.
Failed July 2
Grease / hood
A North Side sushi restaurant
Cited for heavy grease built up behind the cooking equipment and inside a fryer cabinet.
Failed June 30
Deep clean
A Far North Side restaurant & bar
Cited for floors and floor drains left unclean throughout the kitchen and bar areas.
Failed July 1

    Business name and full address, exactly as recorded by the city.
  • ✓
    The date it failed and the inspector's citation in their own words, so you know precisely what to pitch.

    Matched to your trade. Pest firms get pest citations, hood cleaners get grease citations, cleaners get sanitation citations.

    Filtered to your territory. You choose the neighborhoods or zip codes. We only send what you can actually serve.
How it works

From failed inspection to your phone call

1

A restaurant fails

A city inspector cites it for pests, grease, or cleanliness. The clock starts: the problem has to be fixed, typically before a re-inspection.

2

We catch it and match it

We monitor Chicago restaurant inspections and match each failure to your trade and territory the same day it happens.

3

You call while it's fresh

You reach out while the pressure is highest, often before they have started searching. And because the lead is exclusive, you are the only firm we send it to.

Built for three trades

If restaurants are your customers, this is your pipeline

Commercial pest control

Rodent droppings, roaches, flies, and pest-proofing citations. The restaurant is required to act on the citation, fast.

Hood & exhaust cleaning

Grease buildup on hoods, filters, ducts, and cooking lines. Citations that need a professional degrease, not a wipe-down.

Kitchen deep-cleaning

Floors, walls, drains, coolers, and equipment cited as unclean. Exactly the jobs a commercial cleaning crew turns around fast.

Pricing

FAQ

Common questions

How does CleanLeads find these failures?
We monitor Chicago restaurant inspections continuously, catch the failures the moment they happen, classify each one by the problem it was cited for, and match it to the right trade and territory. What you pay for is speed, filtering, and exclusivity: the right failures, in your area, the day they happen, and no other firm gets them from us.
What exactly does "exclusive" mean?
One firm per trade, per territory. If you hold pest control for your set of zip codes, every pest-related failure we catch there goes to you and nobody else. A hood-cleaning firm may hold the same area for grease citations, but you will never compete with another pest company for a CleanLeads lead.
Does the free week reserve my territory?
Yes. We run one firm per trade, per territory even during free weeks, so while yours runs, your trade's leads in your areas go to you and nobody else. Continue afterward and it stays yours. Pass, and the territory opens up again.
How many leads will I get?
It depends on the size of your territory. Chicago logs 200+ failed inspections a month citywide, and in recent weeks we have matched 150+ of them to pest, grease, or cleaning problems. A few zip codes might produce a handful a month; a large slice of the city produces far more. The free week shows you real volume for your exact area before you pay anything.
How are leads delivered?
By email, the same day the restaurant fails. No dashboard to learn, no app to install. Each email has the business name, address, failure date, and the inspector's citation.
What does the free week involve?
Tell us your trade and the areas you cover. For seven days we send you every matching failure, exactly as a paying subscriber would get them. No card details, no contract. If you do nothing afterward, it simply stops.
Can I cancel the paid plan?
Yes, any time. It is a simple monthly arrangement with no minimum term. If you cancel, your territory becomes available to other firms.
Who runs this

A small operation, on purpose

CleanLeads exists because the fastest firm often wins the job, and independent local companies rarely hear about a failed inspection until the work is already gone. We watch the city's results so you do not have to, and we only ever sell a territory to one firm at a time.

I run CleanLeads from the UK. Everything I work from is online and updates the moment new failures land, so where I sit does not slow your leads down. What matters is that you get them the day they happen, and that nobody else gets them from us.
