Born on the island. Built for the island.
Southeast Sparkle Rural Cleaning LLC is Prince of Wales Island's local professional cleaning company — and we're proud of that. We're not a mainland franchise that doesn't understand what island life is really like. We're your neighbors.
We started this business because we saw a real need in our community. Whether you run a fishing lodge that needs to be ready for guests every week, a vacation rental that has to turn over fast, or a home that deserves a proper deep clean — there was no one here to call. Now there is.
We're based in Naukati Bay and we serve all communities on Prince of Wales Island — Craig, Klawock, Thorne Bay, Hydaburg, Coffman Cove, Kasaan, and everywhere in between.

Living and working on a remote island is different. So is keeping it clean. Here's what you should know.
Prince of Wales Island spans over 2,200 square miles and is home to more than 4,000 residents spread across a dozen communities. It's accessible only by ferry from Ketchikan or by floatplane — and the nearest city is 5+ hours away when you count the ferry and the drive. That makes local services not just convenient, but essential. Southeast Sparkle Rural Cleaning LLC is the only professional cleaning company based here — meaning we understand the island, the roads, the seasons, and the needs of our community in a way no mainland company ever could.
POW Island hosts 8–10 active fishing lodges that operate through intense summer seasons. Between guest trips — sometimes just overnight — everything needs to be completely reset.
With 43+ active Airbnb and VRBO listings on the island, hosts need reliable, professional turnover cleaning to maintain their ratings and guest experience.
The rainforest climate of Southeast Alaska creates specific cleaning needs that mainland services don't understand.
Several tribal organizations and government agencies operate on POW Island and require regular professional cleaning services.
When you hire Southeast Sparkle, your money stays on the island. We're not a mainland franchise — we're your neighbors.
Craig Harbor is home to both commercial fishing fleets and recreational vessels. We offer cleaning services for boats and marine environments.
