Before There Was Blue Lake Cleaning
From Badge
to Blue Lake
Nate Mitchell went through Kent State Police Academy in 2013 and began his law enforcement career at Fairport Harbor Police Department before achieving his goal of joining the Geauga County Sheriff's Office in 2014, where he was sworn in by Sheriff Dan McClelland. Growing up in Geauga County, serving his community was not just a job — it was personal.
Working 12-hour shifts left time to think bigger. Nate had always enjoyed the satisfaction of detailed work, and after talking to people in the community, he found a real need for carpet cleaning. In 2016, he and his wife Erica took the leap. The name came one afternoon on Lake Erie — Blue Lake. Simple, local, and tied to something they loved.
The goal was always clear: build a first responder-founded company that police, fire, nurses, doctors, and military families could trust without hesitation. A company that brings the same values from law enforcement into every home it serves.
Honesty. Integrity. Commitment.
The same core values we carried in law enforcement, now carried into every home we serve.
